Makin' Our Way!

Well this past weekend was a very relaxing one to say the least! We went home to visit my parents and see one of my friends who just had a baby and it was definitely what we needed! We also ordered our crib, dresser and changing table for the baby's room and it seems that more and more each day it becomes more real! We are now 22 weeks which translates into 5 1/2 months and I am still amazed at how fast it is going! My one complaint (besides the sickness and all that junk) is that I haven't seen my doctor since Valentine's Day. I have another doctor but mine seems to always be out or whatever. This is a huge problem for me because I had gone ahead and scheduled my appointments so that I could ask off from work and then a week ahead of time they call and want me to reschedule!! ISn't that part of the reason that you schedule appointments in advance? It is so frustrating because this makes me think that we (as patients) are being put on the back burner for whatever reason! I mean is this how the delivery is going to go to? Sorry, Dr. Phillips isn't going to be able to deliver you today, but don't worry here is someone who you have NEVER met before and they will be looking at you and making sure all is ok with you and baby!! I just am having a hard time with that RIGHT NOW though we did know that that might be the case since we are going to a clinic and not the actual hospital! I guess this will be a lesson learned for next time around! But oh well I suppose that since all has been well up to this point there really isn't anything to worry about except just the general feeling of someone turning their back on you! Well that is mine complaint today; and oh yeah it is MONDAY which always gives us a reason to complain, but only 16 more schoool days until school is out so things are looking up! Will chat later-Diana

Truckin' along!

Well, we are officially past the halfway mark and let me tell you, this thing is going by so much faster than I could have imagined! This weekend I will be 5 1/2 months pregnant and it is weird to think that this little baby girl will be joining us soon enough! She has definitely made her presence more known lately since she has started kicking very frequently. Daddy got to feel her for the first time on Sunday evening and it was a very magical moment for both of us. As I was laying in bed on Sunday morning, the cat was on my stomach purring and she just started going crazy. I suppose that the vibrations from the cat's purring was either really soothing to her or she didn't like it at all because she started kicking like crazy as if to say, "Get this thing off of me!" Her kicking is probably the most phenomenal thing about pregnancy. I thought it was so hard to explain the "fluttering" and now it is a little easier for someone to put their hand on my stomach and at least feel her. I also like it because it is something that the hubby can partake in and not look at me like I'm crazy when I suddenly make a movement to get her out of my side. Well finally decided on a crib last night along with a changing table and dresser. I'm really excited that we didn't have to fuss over which crib we liked and for once the hubby was actually compliant with helping! But we are ordering that this weekend and will hopefully get it in soon enough so we can get motivated to put the little one's room together! But that is about all the excitement going on in our lives. I'll keep posting anything interesting! Diana
