11/23

It's been awhile! I am just so tired all the time I never seem to get around to typing an update. So I recently celebrated my birthday..a quarter of a century! WOW! That sounds old! When I think about it though, I have accomplished quite a bit in my old age:) I have graduated college with two degrees, have an awesome full time job, married to a wonderful man, own my own home, and I am expecting a little one! Quite a bit! Soo much to be thankful for! Zach and I have started researching some things for the baby. So much to think about and of course so much money! We are in for a wild ride! It's kind of overwhelming! Next week is a big week. It is our gender scan!!! Zach and I are really excited. I think after next Thurs. it will truly hit us and we will actually start purchasing things and getting the nursery ready. Of course, I would already be done, but Zach keeps reeling me back in. He thinks we should wait until closer. I think this weekend researching things at Babies 'R Us may have changed him a little bit though and he'll let me start soon! I am a little nervous still about the pregnancy. Every one keeps asking me if I've felt the baby. I swear I did a few weeks ago (no it wasn't gas, I'm 25 now I know what gas is!), but I haven't felt it is a long time. The books and websites say I should feel little things now, but I don't. Every time someone asks, it just makes me more nervous. I hope next week I will get to see the little one move on the ultrasound and everything is ok! This week is Thanksgiving! YAY for food! Thursday Zach and I are going to my grandma's and Zach's aunt's to celebrate. We have a second Thanksgiving (my mom and aunt) to go to Saturday. I hope we get lots of leftovers! My work is closed Thursday and Friday for the holiday sooo I decided to take Mon, Tues, and Wed off!! Vacation!! MUCH needed vacation! I loooove staying home and hanging out with Corky! Monday I had to bring my car in to the shop. I needed brakes replaced..yikes! While it was being worked on, I got to hang out with Aunt Val, Uncle Chad, and Lilly! Today I had a tile man over at my house at 8am! He was here two hours fixing tile issues. Finally all of our "problems" are fixed from the 90 day walk through. Now I'm just hanging out with Corky. I am soo tired, but I can't sleep anymore. I seem to get up at the butt-crack of dawn for some reason. All I want to do is nap, but my back keeps cramping and I can't fall asleep! AHH! Well, I think I'll lay down for a bit then on to dishes and laundry! Zach says he's testing me this week with my stay-at-home mom skills :)
