Belated Update =)

So, obviously I'm bad at blogging because I always forget to update! I constantly update my Facebook, but I guess that takes a little less effort than writing a blog =)

Last Friday I went to the doctor and everything was great! I've gained 7 pounds! I'm kind of worried though, since I gained all that weight just within the last month. I'm hoping to slow it down just a bit so that I don't end up gaining 40 pounds by the time Makenna is here. I go back in about 3 weeks, and after that I go back every 2 weeks! Makenna is getting closer and closer to arrival each day!

A couple of nights ago I was laying in bed - playing a video game of course - and all of the sudden Makenna was moving my belly like crazy! I asked John to come see, and he actually stayed around long enough to witness it! He was so excited, and he put his hand on my stomach to feel. Once he felt her move he started talking to my tummy and rubbing it and saying "Aww...Makenna, I love you so much! You're my baby girl!" It was so sweet! I think he's going to be such a wonderful father.

We got approved for the townhome. We move in around March 5th!

We changed my baby shower date to April 2nd. My aunts are throwing it for me and I'm so excited that they get to come down from Bristol to be here!

One unpleasant thing is that I've started to have an acid reflux type thing. I think it's partly due to the pregnancy, and partly due to the fact that I'm always eating acidic foods. It's just so uncomfortable and annoying. But, it'll all be worth it when I get to hold my baby girl!

Johnathan and I registered at Target yesterday! We had so much fun picking out stuff. We went ahead and registered for some things that we had already registered for at Babies-R-Us, but figure that if we get duplicates, then we can always return =)

Mom and I may go look at nursery furniture next week. I'd love to have it in time for us to move!! Which, by the way, there is so much to do before then. I really want to clean up the apartment and organize our stuff to be packed up! But I have a feeling we'll end up just throwing everything in bags and hauling it over to the townhome, spontaneously. I mean, the townhome isn't even a mile away from where we're living now. But it'll be so much better there. It actually feels like a miniature house.

John and I have appointments in the next couple of weeks to apply for Pregnancy Medicaid (to use in addition to our awesome insurance) and WIC. Hopefully we'll qualify! We me not working as much as I'm used to, our income is going to be shrinking very soon. We'll need every kind of break we can get! But, I just have to remember that God's in control, and he'll always provide =)
