The Downward Spiral

I have got to the point lately where I feel completely overwhelmed by life. In a short couple days I went from being the most hopeful and happy person, to someone that doesn't want to do anything and sits on the edge of tears constantly. Life seems to be spiraling downward and I hopelessly sit on the side lines waiting for it to settle, show some sign of normality. Hopeless defines how I feel lately, stuck in a world with a million questions and no answers to be found. I absolutely HATE this feeling and it doesn't look like it's going to get any better. I don't know how we got here or where we will be in a couple days, but I know either way things will be different. And personally I liked where we were. Sometimes I wish just one thing in life would go easy for us. I thought this was it, apparently I was very wrong.

Half Way

I will be 22 weeks this week, so I though I would put the first half of my pregnancy into one nice and simple post.

December 3, 2010...I had sensed that I was pregnant for about a week but was too nervous to take the test.  And I was still in utter shock when it came back positive.  Even though we were trying I didn't expect to get pregnant this fast.
5 Weeks!!

After that I started taking belly shots every couple of weeks.  At first they were when ever I felt like it, but I have now decided to take one ever 2 weeks.
9 Weeks12 Weeks
9 weeks and 12 weeks.
16 Weeks18 Weeks
16 weeks and 18 weeks.

And then there was 20 weeks, I finally feel and look like I am pregnant which is always fun.  I don't have morning sickness and don't feel to uncomfortable yet.  Except little Lukas likes to sit as low as humanly possible....not comfortable at all.
20 Weeks

We are so thrilled to be welcoming another happy and healthy little boy.  Life is in full swing, planning baby showers and nurseries.  We are half way approved for a house so we are just itching to start working on it and get through escrow.  It put it simply; life couldn't be better.

Chinese Horoscopes

I am definitely one of those people that are truly amazed by the accuracy of the chinese horoscope and because of that when I was pregnant with Mavrick I looked up his and used it to imagine what kind of a little person he would become.  Now that he is 2 and a half I am still amazed by how accurate his is.

Mavrick is a Earth Rat which states:
"They are so charming and attractive they are always surrounded by friends and admirers. They can also be lone tumbleweeds, seldom making lasting friendships. Known as Perfectionists, they never want to lose face. It takes an understanding friend to get them to "put on the dancing plumes." Rat people have vivid imagination and are known for creating extraordinarily magic moments in time. Not surprisingly, the sensitive Rats have the gift of insight and clairvoyance, so you better watch out what you think around them! Rats enjoy being leaders and pacesetters and usually enjoy extraordinary success in life."

Now pregnant with Lukas [yes another boy] I again looked up his horoscope to see what kind of second child I could expect.  Just in the womb the two boys are so different, and their chinese horoscopes show that.

Lukas is a Metal Rabbit which states:
"They love to play under the moonlight. Quite fanciful, they respond to the power and beauty of nature and are always being pulled one way and the other to examine what they find. They are the luckiest of all twelve signs! But, it's more a result of "the harder I work, the luckier I get" than taking crazy chances. They are cautious, conservative, bright, and have a good head for business. Supremely pleasant to have around, these affectionate, naturally shy peacemakers seldom ever lose their temper. They sometimes appear to be singing the blues because of a natural but short-lived tendency towards despondency. Rabbits always inspire deep admiration and trust."

I think the combination of the two of them is going to be amazing!!! Not to mention William will get his affectionate child.  Maybe Lukas can mellow Mavrick out a little.  I can't wait to see what the future holds.



If interested look up your own at http://www.tuvy.com/entertainment/chinese_horoscope.htm; Mine and William's are also very accurate.
