lots of kicking Baby is kicking a lot these days. Today she has moved a lot...starting to hurt a little now sometimes. Getting more and more uncomfortable to sleep at night since i have to wake up every two hours to waddle to the bathroom. I keep dreaming about her though. That I am holding, breastfeeding her and she looks up at me with david's brown eyes and lashes and smiles at me. Sooo cute! And then I wake up and can't wait for her to get here.
well, I am off to bed. Our childbirth classes start Thursday and then Friday we are having an ultrasound so I'll get to see my little mia and how much she has grown :)

Baby Room is finished! Well, I got a lot done on my days off (Sunday and Monday). I painted and finished the baby's room!!! It looks SOOOO cute! Every time I walk in the room I can't help but smile and think about how I can't wait to bring home our little Mia :) I also painted an old chest of drawers (that was David's when he was little) to match the room. The room is coming together nicely.
I was feeling really bummed Sunday... just depressed... and feeling overwhelmed. What's strange is that since I've been pregnant - I have NOT been able to cry. And usually, before that, I'd have a good cry just about every month when I was having pms. So Sunday, I finally had a good cry by myself at home and felt better after that. I was just depressed for various reasons. And right now I am a little stressed over our financial situation.. it is not too good right now. I have to figure out a way to come up with our house payment...um... it like, 6 days. But on the bright side, David had a job interview that seemed to go well yesterday. I hope he gets the job. Work is getting harder for me the bigger I get. It's just hard to stand up all day. I'm afraid it will make me go into early labor if I push myself too hard at work. So if he gets this job, I'm hoping to cut back on my hours and work part-time until the baby gets here. Hoping for the best...

David got to feel the baby move! The baby is now moving a lot now! Finally her kicks are strong enough to feel from the outside! On Monday during book study David got to feel her move for the first time! And boy did she move for him! It's amazing how much she has grown and for David to be able to finally feel what I've been feeling was just a great thing to share.
We painted the baby's room and it is looking good :) All we have left to do is paint the trim and get Kim to paint the cherry blossoms. I can't wait to get it finished! Then I can get all my nesting urges out! haha

anxious already I am so ready to take off work and have this baby!! We still have lots to do, but I can't wait to SEE her! and hold her! I guess that's why I'm even more ANXIOUS to get the house in order and her room ready so that everything will be perfect when we bring her home.
We are going to paint her room this weekend! I cant wait to get it done. I have a "to do" list made of all the things I want to accomplish before Mia gets here and that is on the top right now. We checked the smoke detectors last night and changed out the batteries and now I need to buy a fire extinguisher since we do no have one... I'll be adding that to the list.
Lately I have been getting heartburn very easily. Everything I eat seems to get stuck in my chest and throat and stay there all night. And on top of that, my belly already feels so full, like it's going to pop. It's hard to believe that it's going to get bigger over the next three months...geez.
David is starting to look for a drafting job now. Hopefully he will get an interview that will lead to a good job that will work with his school schedule. Otherwise, he may have to go to night school to finish his degree. After Mia gets here I plan on going to work part-time..if not quitting all together. As much as I like to work (and how hard it was to build my clientele) - it just makes no sense to have someone else babysit my child/children. I think of how much cleaner my house would be, how I could actually start cooking meals again, work in the yard more, take care of our kids, go in service more... i mean, being a mom and a wife is a full-time job in itself. But now days, it's like it takes 2 incomes to support a household... and that is the case for us right now.. but perhaps not in the near future. We'll see... no matter what, we will work hard.
