Hey
Just decided to rejoin the belly belly world
After ttc for just under 2 yrs and one mc later, We fineally found ourselves pg in august, and Im now 17 weeks and counting

afm tho, everything is up in the air atm My mother has been on a downward slide for a few years now and I feel like I dont even know her anymore.. My husband is wonderfull to me and she has never payed him any respect. She suddenly became so vein and selfish about a year before I had my first.. Went and got plastic surgery, started wearing skimpy clothing and dateing these loser men.. acting like a teenager or something.. When I fell pregnant to our son she wanted nothing to do with me, then after having him she decided she wanted to be involved but would never babysit him even for 10 minutes. She would always ring and cancel visits to or from us because she was busy with some new guy. It drove me nuts. Recently she rang up my husband and abused him because I didnt drive down and run errands for her one morning at the last minute.. (when i was throwing up with morning sickness) So we're not talking anymore and havnt been for a couple months now.

Other then that we need a new place to live.. The one we're in now is terribly unsuitable for all of us (Me DH DS our furpuppy and the newbie in my belly) Theres no fence and being a highset there are lots of rotting stairs that lead to a scrubby sticks and stones yard with lots of dangerous drops and things, plus the inside is falling apart. So I havnt been able to get excited so much or set up a nursery yet because we are all sort of half packed up and up in the air waiting for our chance at a new start in a new place.

We've been looking for months and fineally found a place that would be perfect, but then 3 other groups of people applied for it! So even after months of looking we might not even get this place anyway and be stuck here even longer! I really hope we do because I feel like I really need a change for the better lately.. I get the call today sometime.. wish me luck

Just started feeling baby kicks a couple weeks ago which is a real help for me mentally. I just feel like I havnt had much of a chance after so long ttc to just relax and get excited about completing out little family! I want to be able to start thinking about these things and getting things set up.. thinking about the birth and what we're having (we're not finding out) names and just generally getting ready and happy about all of this..

So thats why i joined up here again, I figure If i share my story with others who know what its like and maybe get involved in whats going on with everyone else here then I can start to remember that i AM pregnant and things ARE going to get better

would love to hear from you all
