22 Weeks!

Ok so actually this is last week, 21 weeks, but I skipped last weeks so im combining. Not to much bigger, so your not missing out.

So what is new in the baby world...

I have an appointment next week, having another ultrasound. Last month the dr told me that the baby was measuring small, but he didnt seem to concerned. He said I will have another ultrasound and most likey he will be above the 50th percentile and that is what he wants. I am TERRIBLE about asking questions at that moment, but of course as soon as I left I had a MILLION questions in my mind. My husband is the same way, I am better off taking my mom to every appointment! Anyone else have that problem??

We started painting the crib last weekend, but ran out of paint. We are using my crib from when I was a baby, its a Jenny Lind. I really love it. I have a bookshelf and mirror for the room, and the dresser is in storgare and needs to be painted also. UGH. I hate painting. But its saving us lots of money so that is worth it. I am thinking that I will probably just do the drop cloth drapes. I really like them and they are inexpensive. I might add a little color by painting something on them.

I have TONS of clothes already thanks to my sister in law giving me all of Jacksons clothes. I bet for the first year Rowan never wears anything more than once!

I mentioned that I have a new job. I started in March, and I had only found out that I was pregnant after taking then job and about two weeks before I started. So now of course I have no leave time saved up. I am trying to decide how much time to take off, and I am even wondering how much they will allow since I have not been with the company for over one year. There is also the issue of my health insurance. I am hoping that I get to keep it, but I figure I will most likely have to pay for it while I am off. (right now the company pays it)

I seem to be getting over my ice cream craving. Now I want snow cones. Truly I want the ice part only, I guess that is way better! I still want fruit all the time. It seems that lately I have been craving things that are more greasy, which is not good. I try to eat well. I know that I don't want an unhealthy baby, and I dont want to have 100 pounds to loose!!

Its HOT in Oklahoma. That makes doing anything, even just going in and out of places HORRIBLE. My parking spot at work is the second to last one at the opposite end. I told my boss today that either they would need to move me up for a while, or I would have to ask for a handicap sticker!! I have a feeling any outside time will be spent in a pool. Otherwise this summer I will be INDOORS!

That is about it for this week! Have a good weekend! :)
