March Update

how far along? 28 1/2 weeks

total weight gain: 17 lbs.

maternity clothes? I did get some maternity jeans :) They're a bit loose but I think they'll be fine through the end of my pregnancy

stretch marks? I've got a couple more on my sides

sleep: Still no problems sleeping luckily...I can just never get enough

best moment this week: Hear her heartbeat this morning was pretty nice. And just having the doctor say that everything looks good

miss anything? Being able to breathe completely all the time

movement: She moves a TON! It's so weird to see my stomach just change shapes when she moves.

food cravings: Dr Pepper and basically anything sweet

anything making you queasy or sick: the drink I had to drink at the dr's for the glucose test...that was pretty gross. It tastes like pure children's triaminic cough syrup.

labor signs: None. I haven't had any braxton hicks contractions yet either

symptoms: my back has just been pretty sore and I can notice it's getting a bit harder for me to turn when I'm laying in bed or getting off the couch.

belly button in or out? In, but still getting smaller

wedding rings on or off? On

happy or moody most of the time: happy

looking forward to: Seeing this little girl! And my first baby shower on the 16th in San Diego that my sister is throwing for me!

At my appointment this morning the doctor said everything looks good. The heartbeat is strong and I'm measuring exactly as I should. He said I'll have an appointment at the beginning of April and then based on how I've been feeling he'll decide whether I'll need to come in starting every 2 weeks or go another month to the beginning of May. If everything goes well I may only have 3 more appointments until we get to meet our little girl!!! It's kind of crazy to think about it in terms of appointments, it's coming so soon! Tony and I are both so excited to meet her!

In other news:
Tony is loving his job! He gets to work on ball fields all day and then he goes and helps coach his high school baseball team. Tonight is their first game. It definitely makes for a long day for him. It makes me so happy seeing him enjoy his job!
A few months ago our washer broke and we've been going up to Tony's parents house to do our laundry. They've been so great in letting us use it. But we finally decided that since we had the money from our tax refund we needed to get a washer before this little girl comes. We went to Sears and looked in their clearance section. We found an amazing deal on a Kenmore Elite washer...it's the top of the line and we are SO excited. I never knew  how excited I'd be to do laundry....I did a TON of laundry this weekend. We have also been wanting to get a new couch before the baby comes. We had found one at Costco that we wanted REALLY bad less than a month ago, but of course now that we had the money they didn't have it anymore. So we went and looked at the clearance stuff at another store and found a couch and love seat that we liked and is really comfortable. It should be delivered in about 2 weeks and then we're hoping to be able to sell the couch we have now to make up some of the costs. Those were the two things on our list that we've really been looking for and I'm happy we finally were able to get those before the baby comes.
We're looking at moving into St George area once our lease is up at the end of June and I keep finding places that I'd love to move...maybe they'll still be available in July?? Next on our list is to find someone that we trust to watch the baby when I have to go back to work. We really wanted Tony's aunt to watch her in Hurricane, but at this point we're not going to be able to afford it. I am looking forward to moving closer to both of our jobs though.
I can't think of much else that's going on with us. Next weekend I get to drive to San Diego for a quick trip for a baby shower my sister, Becky, is throwing for me. I'm so excited to see my family, even if it is going to be a real quick trip(I'll get there Friday night and leave Sunday morning).
