My First Blog!

Well, this is the first time I've blogged with this webcite. I used to blog a long time ago before I was married, but had stopped after a while. I think it will be nice to start up again and use this as a way to relieve bottled up stressed that I have now and then and to talk to friends and check out their blogs as well.
I guess Melanie got me into this after she showed me the webcite last night. I don't think I'll have a whole lot of time to blog, especially since I already use facebook and myspace to keep in touch with friends and family back home in Indiana. I also use it as a way for my friends and family see pics and videos of Keira and us here in San Antonio. And to top it off, I'm 32 weeks pregnant and will really not have much time after this 2nd baby is born, but we'll see! Maybe I'll have more free time on my hands that I think.
ABOUT ME AND MY FAMILY:
I'm married to a wonderful man, Kevin Wrightsman. We were married on September 24, 2005 in Terre Haute, Indiana where we are originally from. We met at the church we both attended in highschool sometime, but we had both been dating other people at the time but always had a crush on one another. After high school, I went away to college 2.5 hours away and broke up with my boyfriend. When I came home for Christmas that year, Kevin and I started dating. But, stupid me broke up with him when I went back after Christmas break because I couldn't handle a long distance relationship. Kevin ended up dating someone else later, getting engaged and staying with that person for about 4 years or so. Then one day, I had decided to go to my church that I hadn't attended in a while to attend a memorial service to remember people that had died that year. Kevin wasn't there, but his mom was. She gave me his number after the service ended, and of course I called him right away. He didn't answer, but called me the next day and the rest is history! We actually found out we were pregnant with Keira before we had gotten married. We had already set a date to get married, but of course bumped it up a few months to September 2005 instead of May 2006.
After Keira was born in April, I had gotten offered a job in San Antonio, TX in August 2006. So, a week or so later, we packed everything up and sold what we didn't want to take and left for San Antonio. We've been here since August 2006. Kevin is a GM at a Gamestop, and I'm an Assistant Speech Language Pathologist and work in two Elementary Schools. We miss our family like crazy, but we also love it here and love our church and church family here so much. It's the best church we've ever attended. That really says a lot knowing that I went to my previous church since the 2nd grade. I was used to a church of a few hundered, where you could slip in and slip back out after the service and no one would even notice you. They weren't really that friendly to certain people in that church. Basically, they had clicks which is really sad. We now go to a church where there are only about 30 people that attend on a Sunday morning, so you can't just slip in and go unnoticed, which I love. And everyone is so nice and they are pretty much our family in San Antonio.
About baby #2/pregnancy #2:
I'm due on May 3rd, 2008. I've already dropped, and this baby is pushing on my pelvis bone and my sciatic nerve, which causes a horrible shooting pain to go from my hip all the way down my leg to my ankle. So, at work, I am wobbling through the hallways, holding my belly up most of the time to keep this child off of my pelvic bone (even though it really doesn't work much) because gravity is taking him/her downward. If I could make it another 5 weeks before I go into labor, that would be great. But I am all for going 3 weeks early since I'll be full term. As long as the baby is healthy, I'm ready to get it done and over with.
I can't wait until Spring Break! I have one more week left and then I'll be home resting for an entire week. I really need the rest. I just really hope I make it through the week without having to go to the hospital. I've really done well with this pregnancy. I haven't had to go to the hospital yet, unlike my first pregnancy. With my first pregnancy, I had already been in the hospital 2 or 3 times already by week 32, and was on best rest at 34 weeks. I'm really proud of myself. But of course with my first pregnancy, I was really sick throughout the entire 9 months, which caused dehydration, which caused contractions, which caused me to start dilating.
I go to the dr. tomorrow to get my RH shot since my blood type is O-, and also hope to find out if we are for sure having a boy or girl. We are hoping for a boy, but if it's another girl that's ok too. I just love dressing my baby girl in those cute outfits and fixing their hair in cute pig tails and bows.
Ok, so I have to stop blogging now since this is super long, and also because I really need to get a few things done before Kevin gets home from work. Pics will be up later.
