7 weeks to go

Just 51 days to go?? I can't believe it sometimes. It has me a little worried.
First of all, I will say right now that I do actually love being pregnant. I hate the feeling sick for 3 months, being exhausted from doing nothing, and having raging heartburn, but honestly love carrying a baby around for 9 months. I think it's fascinating. I love feeling this baby roll, kick, and sometimes even tickle me (I think he's opening and closing his fingers or toes, but it feels really weird). I love maternity jeans, the way my skin looks, and everyone holding open doors. I'm grateful to be able to reproduce! I love, love, love babies and love being pregnant.
However, with just 7 weeks until my due date I'm getting pretty anxious. We're still in Jackson, WY and Dustin's still working away at getting this building completed. We have no exact completion date, and for all I know we could be here another 4 weeks. We also have no idea where we're moving to. Dustin's boss told him 2 days ago that they were being very careful and making sure that wherever we go will not be a short-term job. We've heard of the possibility of Homestead, FL (Miami), Houston, TX, Tacoma, WA, Richmond, VA, and someplace in Colorado. I just wish they would make up their flipping minds! I wish we could have moved 2 weeks ago. Or better yet, August 7th like the original completion date.
I have nobody to blame. It's not Dustin's fault, it's not his company's fault, it's not the US Fish and Wildlife's fault. Everybody wants to get this dumb job completed, it's just not happening.

So, for all of those people who think I'm always so optomistic and positive all the time, I'm not. I know everything will work out, it always does. I'm just sick of always having to move when I'm pregnant, and I would just like to know when we're moving, and where to.

So feel blessed all you people who have regular jobs and live in houses!

I would feel the same way. When you're about to have a baby, you've got enough to worry about without having to be ready to move whenever and to wherever.

I'm sorry this has been so frustrating! You guys are troopers. I loved your thoughts on babies. That makes me happy! And with the baby coming soon, you already have that to worry about. And now the job and moving situation isn't working out like you hoped it would. I sure hope you guys get to move on soon!
