Update

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday, and I had been stressing over weight gain because for some dumb reason I decided it was a good idea to step on my scale on saturday morning. I won't tell you the number, but I cried for about an hour and that continued through to Monday night (gotta love these hormones!). I am 24 weeks today (oh my goodness only 16 weeks to go, scary). Where has all of the time gone? I have officially gained 7 pounds in the last 4 weeks. Great job Sarah!! The thing is that I don't really think that I eat that badly. My dr. told me to try and stay away from starchy foods like rice, pasta, potatoes and bread. Ok, so who can do that? I am going to try to eat whole grain bread and brown rice and hope that I can stay away from the pasta and potatoes. I walk some at the gym, but I need to try to do more I guess. Oh, and I think that the weight has gone to my butt and legs, because in most clothes, I don't look real pregnant, mostly just pudgy. Other than the fact that I am going to be a cow before this pregnancy is over, I am doing just fine. The heartrate yesterday was 140. She is kicking up a storm these days too!! I also have to mention that we went to see Mason at the hospital on friday night (we did go to see the rest of the family as well). When I was holding him, I was getting kicked so hard. Ever since then I have been so anxious to hold my baby, I guess just holding that little baby sent my homones into a frenzy. Oh, did I mention that Mason is adorable, and he mad the cutest faces while we were there!!! I was only upset that I couldn't find time to go back and see them at the hospital again on saturday.

And The Craziness Begins!!!!

Ok, I am starting to realize that we still have a lot to do before this baby enters the world, and only 18 weeks left to do it in. We are almost finished in our bedroom, and then Tony can move on to the baby's room. That room doesn't need a lot of work though, we are only pulling up the carpet and putting down ceramic tile (don't worry I can put a rug down so that the surface is not so hard) and Tony is going to put a fresh coat of white paint on the two walls that don't have the fish mural on them, and changing the molding. Wow, that does sound like more work than I thought, and I can't really do to much to help with that, but I do have my own projects. Right now I have moved all of the junk from our guest bedroom into the living room, and this weekend I am going to sort through it and see what gets used now, what goes in the attic and what goes to goodwill. Once that is done I will have to do the same thing with the computer room (soon to be baby's room). I have developed this idea that if I put things in those rooms and close the doors, it is like the clutter doesn't exist and I am trying really hard to change that!! Beyond house stuff I still have to find a daycare that we like, and I am sure that there are a million other things that I need to do that I can't think of right now because I didn't write them down, and my brain is gone now (I think the baby is using it). On a positive note I did finally find the perfect fish bedding (to go with the fish mural already on the walls), this one is blue, green, pink, and purple, and it has enough pink and purple in it that it looks much more girlly than anything else that I have found. So one less thing for me to stress about.
