Jason and I had lunch together today. We drove through Wendys, on our way back to the hospital again, and as he was ordering my lunch he asked what size I wanted. Medium? Large? Super Extra Pregnant Size? What a sweet man I married. Isnt he lucky to have a wife that wont kill him for teasing her when shes hyped up on hormones? ;) We have fun.
In other news- baby Jesse is Finally here! I spent the day at the hospital with Jesse and Sarah yesterday, and at 617pm he was born. I think he is adorable, though his head was a bit mishapen. It has become a lot more normal looking since then. I am so excited to have a little one to dote on while we wait for mine to decide it is time to come.
In about half an hour, Heidi and I are headed to Elko to visit our friend Cassie for the weekend. It will be SO good to spend some time with her, we havent seen her since graduation! Besides, this will probably be my last little trip before Emma will be tagging along in a less convienant way. I packed things this morning, said goodbye to Jason at work when I dropped him off after visiting baby, and now Im just excited to spend the weekend with some of the girls. (Katie was planning to come with us, but things came up last minute at work, and she isnt able to. The groups not quite complete, but we will have fun anyway.)
Also, I recieved a phone call from my doctors office today. My glucose test came back just fine, no diabetes for this pregnancy. Yay! But, Im (surprise) anemic. So the little black iron pills and I are making friends starting about half an hour ago. I have been so exhausted lately, and just recovered from being sick a week or two ago, I cant wait for a week to go by and to begin to start feeling better.
Well, I am off to grab a super extra pregnant size glass of water, and put my feet up untill Heidi gets here. :)

twentynine weeks five days
I met with Jill Tracey today, the NP at my doctors office. Dr Anstine delivered on monday, and will be back to see me at my last appointment, but untill then, I am seeing everyone. Jill again the next two times, two weeks apart, then Dr Swaksjdfskdjfh... or whatever his name is. And weekly after that I will see Grissom, Carlson, and Carter. November twentyfifth I will see Anstine again, and I have another sceduled for December second just incase, also with Dr Anstine.
So, the appointment today was pretty mundane. I drank my orange drink, which wasnt bad at all. It reminded me of Slice that has been sitting out too long. Since I dont like orange soda normally, (its not bad, just not what I would choose) thats what I expected this to taste like. I had another ultrasound and watched Emma hide her face again. The only thing we got to see was that she has a little hair. (Yay my baby's not bald! :D) I met with Jill, then went in to try another ultrasound, with the same results, then had my blood stolen. I did not lay down, and I did not get faint. :)
So thats it. I go back in on October second.

i lost my tummy button
This morning(ish) as I was putting lotion on I noticed that when I pull at the sides of my tummy, my button sticks out! Now I know this is totally normal, but it really startled me this morning, because I wasnt expecting to look down and see and outie! Trivial, right? I prepared myself for bigger clothes, stretchmarks, moodiness, aches and pains, but for some reason I though my button would be spared. And I was wrong.

ugh
After my incredibly productive day yesterday (I painted my pantry door, and organized the inside of the pantry for the first time since moving in, cleaned every surface of my kitchen, and did three loads of odds and ends of dishes) I woke up this morning sick.
I have had a sore throat in the morning for the last couple days, but when I woke up at 230 this morning, I knew that it was more. This is the second summer cold ive had this year. And I am NOT prone to sickness. But I am irritated. I still have quite a bit to do to get ready for the bbq Sunday, and now Im loosing a whole day because I dont even want to move.
At least Emma is still inside of me today, so I can be sick and only have to deal with myself and the puppies. Gosh Im cranky today.

progress
Baby progress is this: I have gained 16 pounds in the last six weeks. That is more than I have gained in pregnancy combined up to six weeks ago. Eep. :| But, I know right where it is going because Emmas toes can reach my ribs. And I have a LONG waist. Really. My mom is four inches shorter than i am, and we wear the same lenght of pants. Most of my body is in the middle, which has been great for keeping me from looking like a beach ball. Ive got more the watermelon shape going on. But that means Emma is getting big, and fast. I also think that she likes the homemade peanutbutter cups that have been my daily snack this week. :D
Home progress is this: Jason finished the edges around the rosebushes, and we were only one block short. It looks so nice on that side of the yard now. He worked on that end of the retaining wall too- so it has at least one row all the way to the back fence. (Now the hard part starts, because all the way across the back will need dug back away from the grass to lay the blocks.) I know that it wont be finished this year, we just dont have the time or the money for it, but I am sure that next year it will be done and it will look great. I really liked the back at the old house, but I love it here.
And about the old house: We had some issues there this weekend, which after cooling on it for five days, I feel better about. The old subdivision aparently has a problem with pint sized vandals. Friday afternoon or evening three children carried three gallons of paint, two rollers, three brushes, a paint tray, hammer and nails into the back yard and painted the inside of our playhouse. Polkadotted. They also tore the doorbell off of the front of the house, and nailed it to the gate leading into the back yard. We found this at 1230am Saturday, Jason sat up in bed and realised we had left the sprinkler on since wednesday evening. This isnt really a big deal because it is irrigation, and our back yard is the floodplain for the whole sub. So the only damage would be a big puddle in the yard. We got up and drove over to shut it off and found the paint in the playhouse, and the doorbell on the fence. The next morning we confronted parents untill we found a house where a little girl (with paint on her face) confessed to her dad what she had done that evening, and who had been there with her. She was the polkadotter. When we spoke to the other parents, they either a) didnt seem to care or b) didnt think their child was involved, despite the tattlings of one of the kids involved. These are 6-3 graders. Two girls and a boy. What kind of parents are they? The little girl who was caught, was very sorry. She knew what they had done was wrong, even though they were only trying to improve the looks of "their clubhouse." Her parents wanted to do whatever possible to make up for it (their child did the least amount of the damage. None of the supplies were hers, she didnt destroy the doorbell, she simply swept out the playhouse, and painted polkadots on the walls.) We didnt feel that it would be fair to have her help s paint when the other two were getting away with no punishment, so we asked her to help us finish sweeping out the place. While back there, she told us everything thats been going on while the house has been empty; how the fence boards have been breaking, why the shed has been open (michael is tall enough to jump and reach the latch, then climbs the shelves and crawls through the trusses like a tunnel or swings from them like they are monkeybars.) She was a wonderfull informant. :)
We filed a police report, incase the next dammage that is done (that I dont think the little girl will be involved in, but I am sure the others might) is more expensive, say, they paint the house instead of the inside of the playhouse. Or they break the gate trying to get it open now that we have taken the latch off the outside. Or they damage the shed doors trying to get the padlock off that we installed this weekend... this way insurance will be more willing to cover the damage.
The good that I think has come from all this happened Tuesday night. After talking to both our parents, and eachother, we have decided to drastically drop the price of the house inorder to sell it. Ours is the only home on the market in our size for less than 130 000 that has an entirely new interior, new exterior paint, and has not been lived in since things were replaced. All the rest currently have someone in them, or have not done a complete renovation to walls and floors like we did. It is also the largest lot that you can get in an established subdivision. We dropped the price enough (I hope) that this month it should at least get an offer. It is priced at 127 900. I think we made it a steal, I hope we did, because we are tired of spending all our extra time working on things at that house, when we have this one that is not complete, and Emma coming in just 86(ish)days. So pray for us, if you think of it, if you drive past a For Sale sign, or If you hear about someone who is looking for a starter home, or needs to downsize a bit, we have one that is just begging for a new owner. :)
There it is. The low down on things in this part of the world. Or rather, in the two mile raduis that I spend most of my life. Overall, I still have a good feeling about things, and Im sure that isnt the hormones of pregnancy, but I think it is a peace that things will work out in our favor. How have we managed even this much when I have been unemployed for the last six months? I have a big God.
