it's been so long...

Well it's been a long time, but it's been a little nuts over here. As of today I am 19 weeks along, almost half way there. It seems like this pregancy is going by much faster than brooke's did.

Jason and I found a midwife! She's really wonderful, I absolutely love her. I had my first prenatal appt with her last week, and it was great. The appt was scheduled for an hour, but we went over. We did mostly paperwork, discussed family history, etc. Then we talked about anything that was stressing me out and other stuff. She's really great, and suggested some herbal teas and stuff for me to drink. She listened to the baby, heartbeat sounds good. It was wonderful.

So before my first appt with my mw, I had my ultrasound done.....IT'S A GIRL! We decided officially on the name Summer Judith. I was very nervous the whole time, cause the us tech couldn't tell for a while due to the position the baby was in. And that was the last time that I will walk into that obgyn office for a visit, it feels so nice :o)

Easter was ok. Helen is now in the hospital getting treatment. They have to shrink down her tumor with chemo before they can operate on it. We've been to see her twice so far, and both times her optimistic attitude has been astounding. This woman just doesn't let anything get her down!!

I haven't heard about the job yet, they called me a couple days ago and told me that there's been some sort of delay with the decision but they will let me know as soon as they decided. *sigh* Meanwhile, I wish I hadn't told certain people about the job interview, I'm getting sick of hearing every other day, "did you get the job?" grrrr.

Brooke's been so good, she's getting so big. She loves to color like crazy. I took some pics of her coloring, and some pics of her at the children's museum that we took her to on Saturday. But the camera is in the car and it's raining out, so it can stay in the car for now. I'll have to post them later. Let's see, new things that she does.....she says, "oh man!", "I'm the dada!", and she wakes me up by giving me kisses on the eyes. We took her to an Easter egg hunt and she was absolutely adorable! I finished the teddy bear I made for her, but I'm not real happy with it. It looks like something out of a horror movie, and I can't blame her for not going near it LOL.  I'll have to post some pics of it later.

Well that's all the energy I have to write now. I'll try to post more often, although it hasn't been working well for me lately.....
