We had another ultrasound last week and it was amazing. I cannot even describe it. We could see her moving, her toes, and even her little mouth moving. We were there for over an hour because she was hiding behind her hand's....being shy. I now know why they tell you not to lay on your back while pregnant. After laying there for that long, I almost passed out. I got so light headed and nauseated from my blood supply being cut off....completely worth it though! It was unbelievable and made everything that much more real. She is sooooo cute!!! I stare at this picture all the time...it is the background on my computer and my i-phone. I have it framed and carry it in my purse (thanks to Courtney for giving me a little book to put it in). Oh and its blown up on our fridge. Obsessed much? Just think what I'll be like when she is here and I can take "real" pictures.
We are working on her nursery. The crib is ready, with my beautiful pottery barn bedding (thanks Mom!) and the rest of it will be coming together soon. And if I went into labor today, we would be ready. Mine and Kaitlin's hospital bags are packed! I took a study break today to do some shopping and get things together. I am really excited for her to get here. I think she will be early. I am measuring at March 24th now. But, she is so big already! I was in shock to find out that she was already 4.6 lbs!
All of my friends keep asking for "belly" pics. We have not taken any recently because on the weekends all I do is study and my general attire is sweat pants-not cute for a picture. But I'll try to get one soon. My belly is growing for sure! :)
As for the bar, at this point I think it will be a miracle if I pass. I am studying every possible free moment, but it does not feel like enough. Working full time has been really hard. I try to study 2 hours each morning before work and then study after until I fall asleep. Sleep is difficult with extreme back pain from the pregnancy. Weekends I spend all day/night studying. BJ has thankfully been wonderful and very understanding. He has picked up the slack big time with cooking/cleaning/laundry/etc. I am very lucky!!! =) So, if I have been a bad friend lately, its because I honestly don't have any time to pick up the phone and call and I go days without responding to emails. :( Only 3 weeks to go though! I am working one more week and taking 2 off! Thank God!
And thanks to those that have called or emailed to check on me and baby. I really appreciate it and it means a lot. We are doing great!
