Some Updates

I can't believe it's March already. I am 9 weeks and a couple of days pregnant now and seem to be coming down from a peak of morning (all day) sickness. I hope that it stays relatively low from here on out.

I went for my regular monthly OB visit and all is good. I was able to convince him not to send me for the "big" prenatal blood work session. Really, I can't see what the purpose is to do it all again when it's already been done once. We already know my blood type (that's not going to change), we know I'm not HIV positive, etc, etc. So what is the purpose for torturing me? So he asked me how old Lacey was and then seemed to agree that it wasn't necessary. But he made sure I knew that there was no getting out of the GD test at 28 weeks. I'm ok with that. That's only one vial of blood that I have to survive, not SIX. So I was a very happy girl coming out from that appointment!

I am so tired today. I have been crazy busy at work and super busy at home too trying to keep everything sparkly clean 24/7 in case we get a visitor. I'm also trying to pack in between. It's Matt's long week at work and so he hasn't been able to help much so I've been pretty exhausted. In fact last night, I could have gone to sleep at 830, but dinner was still in the oven and Matt wasn't home yet so I had to wait till 9. It felt so good to fall asleep.

I have lost a total of 5 pounds since getting pregnant b/c of the nausea and not being able to eat very much at any one sitting. Most of that loss was in a 2-3 week period. But I don't think I will lose any more. It seems to have stabilized now.

We're going out to look at more houses again this evening and also tomorrow evening. Based on what we've been looking at in our price range, I don't hold much hope for finding anything decent. I'm not sure what we'll do. Most of the stuff in our range needs quite a bit of work and we can hardly afford the range we're looking in, so going any higher is pretty much out of the question. It's been pretty interesting.
