Stream of Consciousness

So, I really need to get back in the swing of blogging and getting on here more. Things have been a little hectic here. I have been having contractions for a couple of weeks now...pretty sure just Braxton Hicks, but they are still annoying. Oliver's activty has been slowing down also. He started off as pretty active and now he is having more and more lazy days. The other night I was up most of the night with lower back pain and contractions and the baby hardly moved at all. I should have called the doctor, but it was like 3AM and the hubby had just gotten home from work and I wanted him to sleep. I did call the office in the morning and had to have a non stress test. Everything was fine....of course! I just have to keep paying attention to things. They also registered some contractions, nothing big and nothing like the night before! I didn't go to work tonight...I only work 4 hours a week...haha! I work for a cleaning company and things have been getting worse for me after work. The hubby doesn't want me to work anymore. I understand where he is coming from, but at the same time I feel lazy and like a baby because I am having such problems. My job isn't hard at all, but I have to do a lot of bending over, twisting....I don't know, it just frustrates me because I don't want people to think I am lazy. I do all that same stuff at home, but I can take breaks and I don't have a time frame to get things done in. I will admit that my cleaning has been slacking here lately! I really am looking forward to being done with this pregnancy. I'm starting to get nervous and scared though. I didn't have a good experience the first time....I will write about that later.....so I'm afraid that the same things will happen again. I'm just not looking forward to the whole process! We still haven't really tried putting Jamie on his potty chair yet. I know we need to, but I never seem to remember. We've been working more with the cloth diapers. EcoBuns, the store we get our lovely stuff from, just moved to an actual store front and had a grand opening the other day and we got 2 more diapers. I still put a disposable diaper on for nap time because he usually wakes up with a dirty diaper and the hubby still hasn't hooked up the sprayer to the toliet...haha. Jamie really enjoys the diapers, he gets mad when I don't put one on him. It is a little more work just because I have to do laundry more, but I think it is totally worth it. Jamie's skin also looks better when he wears the cloth diapers. We are going to wait about a month or so with Oliver before we start him on them, just because of how messy those diapers can be! My sister is throwing me a baby shower. She thought it would be nice since we are switching diapers. I'm hoping it turns out nice and we get some more diapers. I don't want that to sound greedy or anything. The diapers are a little pricey, but you save sooo much. Eric has been working a lot. This is nice, but at the same time really sucks. He works second shift and it gets boring at night after Jamie goes to bed. Maybe that is why I keep him up til 8:30 or 9. Some days, Eric works 3-3. He even worked 7 hours on Saturday. I'm happy for all the overtime, we really need it. I'm still looking for a job, hopefully something that has to do with my major. I would be happy with something part time. I go crazy being home all the time. I love my little man, but I really do need a job and get out for a bit. I just keep praying that something will come up. I am excited because I have some more followers! I found a blog that had a Follow Me Friday. I'm looking forward to going through more of the blogs, including my new followers, and following them! Right now, I need to finish up some laundry and some knitting. I can't wait to post again, I have so many ideas.
