Well, the beginning of the end is here. I only have 10 weeks left until the baby is due..... talk about TERRIFYING! There's still a lot that I need to do to get ready for this baby. Mostly shopping since we only have a few outfits, a car seat, and a stroller for her. I don't have an updated picture since I'm super self conscious about how I'm looking these days. Maybe if I feel up to it I'll take one this week.
Up to this point I've stayed pretty active, I'm still working 30 hours a week, going to school, and keeping the house up to par. Well, the house may not be up to par, but I'm still trying. My biggest issue the last few weeks is that my feet and ankles have started to retain water. At first it wasn't a big deal, but now on Friday's and Saturday's I can feel how fat my feet are and it hurts to walk sometimes. At my last doctor appointment my doctor didn't mention anything about it, but I think when I go in a couple of weeks I'll ask him if it's anything to worry about.
Another beauty of this pregnancy is the slight heartburn that I've had for the last two days. It's not excessive and isn't really effecting me, it's just a weird sensation since I've never had heartburn before. I may be investing in tums very shortly or avoid the foods that create heartburn, if I can keep track of them.
On a positive note it's so fun to feel the baby move around. She's not big enough to hurt me at this point so I'm still enjoying it. Neight has felt her move a few times, the first time kind of freaked him out :) I think he's ready for the next 10 weeks to be over so he can hold her. At least, I hope so.
In other news, here are a few pictures of things we've been up to since my last post.

| This isn't a very good picture, but my littlest sister Angie was Glinda in her school's production of the Wizard of Oz. She made the perfect Glinda and did an excellent job! |
 |
| Last week Neight and my dad started framing in walls in the nursery since there's no insulation and one day I walked in there and found Munchquen chilling in the framework for the closet. She climbed to the top step of a ladder and then jumped into the framework. She's so weird! |
 |
| Again, this isn't a very good picture, but for my birthday Neight gave me this beautiful necklace. It's a heart with a mom and a baby on the inside. I love it! |

| A few weeks ago I caught a cold, lucky me, but Neight brought me home flowers to help make me feel better :) |
 |
| This is a picture of a delicious dinner Neight made. I love how he knows what goes together and I love the presentation he does. The colors are so full of spring, I just love it! |
