32 weeks...

I don't want to jinx myself, but I think I might finally be over the nausea part of pregnancy. Too bad it only took about 16-20 weeks longer than average! I am now 32 weeks preggers. Wow! I can't believe it is going by sooo fast! Our house is finally painted and we've started to unpack the nursery and the rest of the house. We still have items that we never unpacked from our move last year! Brad put together Raelee's dresser and the crib is soon to come. Oh, BTW that's the name we've decided on, Raelee Anne :) I'll post belly and nursery pics soon!

The Best Day Ever!!!

Today I was cleaning out my wallet and was on my way to the trash can with some old gift cards when I the thought popped into my mind that maybe I should make sure that the balances were zero. Some of these cards I've had for several years. So I started calling the numbers on the backs of the cards and found out...I have money! One card had $21, another $15 and the last had $13.22. I'm so,so,so glad I didn't just throw those away. Now I'm going to go search the house to see if I can find anymore :)

Orlando

We had a fun mini-vacation last week. Brad had a work trip in Orlando for classes Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I was able to go with him. It was nice and relaxing for me. I slept in every day and hung out at the pool. FYI if you're laying out and 28 weeks pregnant, don't forget to put sunblock in your belly button, mines a little pink right now :) We were able to go to IKEA and buy our little ones dresser, then we went to Pottery Barn Kids and bought the sheets. I have awesome co-workers that already bought us the quilt and bumper set for the crib. Friday, we were able to go to the temple, and then that night played Congo river miniature golf. Brad had TWO hole in ones. It was nice to be able to just relax and not have a crazy schedule.

It's a girl

Yay!!! We have finally found out what this little one is, definitely a girl. We were able to get a bunch of ultra sound pics today, but I'm not going to post the gender telling ones, since apparently she's very modest :) I'm now 23 weeks and she weighs approximatly 1 lb 6 oz. Sorry these pics are blurry, I don't have a scanner, so I had to take the pictures with my camera and upload them

Tally tourist

Today our plan was to spend the day in Destin, FL for Brad's birthday. Well, due to pregnancy and staying up too late last night, we didn't wake up early enough to warrant driving all the way to Destin just to drive back later in the same day. So we decided to spend the day pretending we were visiting Tallahassee. We ate lunch at Applebee's (yum, love the riblets), took a after lunch nap, then went to the IMAX theater to watch StarTrek. We even splurged and bought snacks at the theater instead of sneaking them in in my purse. After that we drove around Tally stopping at stores we never seem to have the time to go to. Example: Fresh Market. We've been meaning to shop there forever, but never do. What a neat store though. We bought a chocolate eclair, sooo delish, and some really, really good chocolate chip banana nut bread. We then walked around Target(whenever we go out of town, we always end up at a Target store) and then drove home the scenic route, stopping to drive through neighborhoods and down roads we've never been though. All in all we've decided Tallahassee's a pretty neat place to live :)

My bum leg

Wednesday evening, I was minding my own business, walking back to my car in a parking lot after shooting some hoops with my little bro, when there was an excruciating pain in the back of my left leg. A wasp had stung me and it really, really hurt! Not to sound like a baby, but that was some pain! Well, by Friday my leg didn't even look like my leg anymore. It was swollen from the ankle to knee all the way around, and I had a HUGE bruise where I had been stung, and it really hurt to walk. Oh, and itched like crazy! I went to work anyway, figuring one of our doc's could give me advice on what to do, well the advice was to go to the E.R. Well, I didn't do that, but I did go to my regular doc that afternoon, and was placed on antibiotics. Apparently, I had an allergic reaction/infection going on. The fun part was I got a work release for the entire weekend, but the not so fun part was I had to sit around with my leg on a pillow with an icepack. My leg's feeling a ton better now, not so swollen, but still bruised, it doesn't hurt to walk anymore thank goodness, so back to work I go tomorrow. However, I am going to do my darnedest to stay away from any insects that fly and sting.
