10 lbs!

Like every doctors OB appointment this one started with me peeing in a cup, followed by stepping on to the scale. unlike all my other OB appointments however, this time I hadn't lost weight but in fact had gained a whopping 10 pounds, IN ONE MONTH! I know, I know I shouldn't feel bad, I was supposed to have gained that much by now anyway, but somehow it really worries me that I've gained so much so fast. 

In less devastating news, the baby has been very active the past few days. She seems to be moving all the time now (not just when I want to sleep). Sometimes I swear she can hear Brian ask me if she's awake. As soon as I say no she's not she starts kicking. Brian even got to feel her move for the first time, although you can barely feel it right now. I think he'll be more excited when its stronger. I'm really excited now that I'm getting close to my third trimester, but I'm pretty terrified too.

half way there

I am really starting to show now, and really starting to worry about all the things that need to get done before baby gets here. still I feel like there is almost nothing I can do to get things moving. We're kind of in a waiting period. John and Frannie will be moving next month, so the house will be empty. That's when things will really shift into gear. Still I'm going crazy in the mean time with wanting something to do. I'm working now so that's helpful... but I don't think its going to be enough of an income to catch up on my bills and pay my portion of the rent. Plus with all these new expenses coming up I just feel so helpless and useless.

Baby Hat


So yesterday I was feeling kind of crafty and I took the initiative to start my baby quilt. Unfortunately I got side tracked by the Idea of making a baby hat, and got nothing done on the quilting venture. The hat turned out really cute though! I'm posting a Picture of it. Its a white satin with an adorable pink bow on top.
