This isn't a great photo but we took it today so I thought I would show off my growing belly. I have been feeling great over all. This baby loves to use my bladder as a trampoline. The last couple of days I have had some back pain. Not sure if it is really pregnancy related or the fact that we really need new mattresses (which I hope we can get in the next week or two!) I guess I should make an appointment with my chiropractor. This pregnancy is really going fast. It is so hard to believe that in just 2 1/2 months the baby will be here. I'm seeing my midwife every two weeks now and so far everything is looking great. For this birth we have hired a doula and I am super excited about that.
Yesterday was so hot so we blew up Dylan's pool and let her have a blast. She got the goggles from her Aunt Tami for her birthday and loves them (even though she will not put her face in the water).
We have had a lot going on lately or at least it feels that way to me. Maybe I'm starting to feel the time crunch of a new baby being here in 2-3 months and I feel like I have a list a mile long of things we need to do.We are finally getting the house in "order". Abe's brother finally moved his pool table out of our upstairs and we have been able to move furniture out of the baby's room. Thanks Gabe!!
We are also looking into refinancing our house! I will probably make a decision about that in the next couple of days. We were approved for a really low rate and we are going to refinance for 15 years vs. 30. How great would it be to have our home paid for in 15 years!!!! I really hope it works out.
Also on our to do list:
paint baby's room
have Dad put in a cat door to the garage (the litter box has got to be moved!)
replace window screens on the house that fell off during a store
buy new mattresses
buy a new TV for upstairs (we think this is going to be our anniversary gift this year)
make an appointment to see my chiro
I know there is more but it sure feels good to get some of it written down. Now we will see what actually gets accomplished.
