Ummm Hi
I've been gone for almost 3 weeks and everytime I want to sit to blog, something interrupts me. Whether it's been all the paperwork I do in the evenings for work or the roadblocks we keep running into as we search for a house. That has been the most stressful to the point of tears. That house we went to see a while back, was two story so the first floor was too small for us. It had a beautiful huge back yard but that's about all we liked. Then we considered a builder who can get us everything we want but he's just a little over our price range.
So, our options right now are: the house we've been looking for may come on the market in the next MONTH, renew our lease if the rent doesn't go up, find another place to rent, or somehow our families help us with our down payment. I think we're going to continue renting one way or another, because we need to build up our down payment a little bit more.
We really want to build because in this economy we don't want to be stuck in something we semi-like and can't get out of in the next 5-10 years if we wanted to move.
All this has pushed the thought of a nursery out of my mind for the time being. I don't mind it actually. I'm more preoccupied with saving our money, enjoying my pregnancy, and just daydreaming of my little man.
I've also been entering diaper contests like crazy, LOL. So, if you see random posts about giveaways, just know that's my obsessed self trying to win some fluff.
Tomorrow is EASTER!!! It's the same story every year but the sweetest one we will ever know. He died to save us and rose again to promise us everlasting life with Him. My heart can just explode with joy that we have Him to celebrate and give thanks for all that He has done. GOD IS GOOD and HE IS RISEN!
Luke 24:1-8
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” 8 Then they remembered his words.

Half baked
My gosh work has kept me way too busy and I've hardly had time to do anything fun. I've had end of the month paperwork and I'm still not done. I'm giving myself the rest of the night off though.
Sunday marked 20 weeks and the half way point. Weeee!
I also read that his taste buds can now taste what I'm eating through the amniotic fluid he's swallowing. I need to get the sweet tooth under control or I'm going to pay for it when he's older. I don't know if it's the pregnancy or Justin's need-to-have-dessert habit, but I crave sweets all the time now. Milkshakes, cupcakes, chocolate, poptarts, you name it, I want it.
Over the weekend I got myself a pedicure to celebrate the halfway point and I had my first "When are you due?" questions by the pedicurist(?). I guess that means I'm showing. Yes, I've been in denial. I'm just not the attention seeking type of girl and I really don't like people staring. So the next few months are going to be interesting to say the least. Especially since I can't cover up in a jacket anymore.
I also think it's time I give up my scrubs. Ugh..I broke down yesterday and wore some maternity pants to work. I got 3 pairs from one of my kids' mothers. God bless her, because I hate spending money on this kinda stuff. I'm also just using 1-2 bras per week! It's pitiful but I need pants, bras, and socks.
okok enough of me complaining.
It's spring time and the weather is starting to warm up. We're expected to have a beautiful sunny weekend. I'm going to a diaper party, I have no idea what this means, but I'll let you know. It's all about cloth and I hope to meet other moms and get their advice.
We're also going to possibly check out a house. Fingers crossed!!
Two more things or pictures I have to share.

Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)
He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery). Source
I also read that his taste buds can now taste what I'm eating through the amniotic fluid he's swallowing. I need to get the sweet tooth under control or I'm going to pay for it when he's older.
