1. How many weeks are you? 15!

2. How are you feeling? Pretty good. My sinuses are awful but I think my temporary office might be contributing to that. Constipation is fun! Eta and lots of CM/discharge 

3. Any appointments this week? Nothing until the 31st

4. Rants, raves, questions? I have a few today:

- Is five weeks before due date too late for a shower? For some reason it's stressing me out a bit
- Is it possible I felt baby movement this morning. I was laying in bed and felt a flutter that felt different from anything I have felt before (i.e. gas) but I haven't felt it since
- Rant/Rave: I have a really awesome potential job opportunity in my hometown (two states away from where I live now). It's a really rural area and DH and I never thought we'd have any job prospects there. There are a few concerns though. The program is very new and I'm questioning the ability of the current leadership to keep it afloat. Since there aren't any other jobs in the area if we were to move there and the program went under we'd be screwed. Whereas where we are now both DH and I have over 10  years and stability. The other issue is they want me there like yesterday. The idea of moving mid pregnancy, taking on a major job that will require a lot of time/effort upfront, selling our house, finding DH a job...it's all a bit overwhelming. That said, it would be an amazing opportunity and if it succeeded, WOW. Plus we'd be near family, slower pace of life, nice area of our LO to grow up. I am so conflicted. My heart says YES, my gut/brain says it's too much of a risk. I need to get back to them by Friday. I just wish it were better timing.

5. GTKY: What is the one item you don't leave home without? My phone and sunglasses.

@jess0211 lurking but my friend had her shower 5 weeks before her due date and it worked perfectly for her! My friend was all ready for baby to come only 3 weeks later (she ended up being just one day early). Also, if your heart says yes that sounds really great. I hate when my heart says no but my brain says yes, this is logical even if you don't love the idea. Hope you and your DH come to a decision that makes you both happy! Think of all the daycare money you'd save

@DuchessOfCambridge Thanks for the input. This decision is so hard. I think I have to go with my gut on this and think long-term. I am very worried about the job stability and if we move back "home" and if this fails there won't be any other options. Plus there are no options of DH. As much as I want to raise my LO in my hometown around family, I also want to be able to put a roof over his head, food in his belly, and clothes on his back. Sigh. I know what I have to do, I just don't wanna (said in a whiny voice). I am talking to them again today and I think I'm going to say thanks, but no thanks. And then eat a gallon of ice cream and cry.
