Update... but not on baby!

So, I just got back from my parent's house... I couldn't go
to bed before sharing this story. If you've never met my
brother and sister-in-law's dog, Lucy, you should.
She's something else. Well, tonight, she happened to go
downstairs where my mom, dad, and i were discussing
stuff about the basement. In the middle of our chat
Lucy just starts growling. It was low and not
very agressive... then it became louder, and
her hair on her back began to stand up!

I realized she was
growling at Shaniqua, our mannequin head that
one of my brothers had discovered back in the day.
I'd say "i dont know why we still have it" but if you know
my family, you know the odd happenings of things we find in
dumpsters, friends' houses, and so on.
Anyway, Lucy, she kept backing up and barking and growling
at this head, the whole time back hair standing straight up!
She's so brave, that when my dad picked up the head
and came toward her with it, she ran all the way upstairs
and REFUSED to come down until she "knew" it was
safe... oh Lucy...

4 Months

As of Friday the 16th, I am 4 months pregnant.
My belly doesn't look much different, but I had
Brandon take pictures anyway... He said to me,
"Didn't I just take pictures of you?" Of course, I replied with,
"Yes, but you never know, I may be SLIGHTLY bigger now!"
So here they are...




Also, we are almost packed and ready to move. I am
going to miss having our own home, but with all our
expenses, its just a smarter move, to move! My dad is excited,
I can tell (he wouldn't dare say it!) because he is insulating
the basement and finishing it for us... maybe adding a
nursery and even a small bathroom! It will be like our own
apartment!
I quit my job... my last day there is the 31st of December.
I'm leaving on good terms, it will just be really weird to not
have to get up and go to work everyday. However, the plan,
and hopefully the economy will agree about this, is to find a part
time position where no children are involved. I'd even
do seasonal work until baby arrives. I think thats all I have to update
on for now.

So, I finally have an update!

I went to the doctor again on Wednesday, and for some

reason, they kept asking me my birthday ( like 3-4) times!
I thought my story had gotten around the office that I told
the receptionist that I didn't know my birthday yet and so they
decided to keep testing me... dont worry, I got it right every time
this time!

Alright, well, nothing too new with baby...
We heard the heartbeat again (which is always a relief for me).
We are having another ultrasound done November 4 (I'll be
19 weeks) and we can find out the sex of the baby... but we
aren't going to! We are just going to make sure everything
is developing properly and baby is healthy!
I am only 15 weeks, but my pictures make me look huge!

Well... that's all I have for now. Updates to come!
