Not too much to report on the baby front. I had my second doctors appointment last Tuesday and all is still well. My blood pressure was more normal than last time. I'm always a tad on the high side, but I think that first appointment I was just really nervous. Anyway, they also said I'm slightly anemic (low in iron I think), but it wasn't so low that they felt I need to take additional iron. My mom got quite anemic with both me and my sister to where they put her on iron supplements so I need to remember to mention that to the doctor next time.
We still don't know if it's a boy or girl. However, we do have another ultrasound scheduled for June 7th and, as long as the baby cooperates, we should be finding out what it is then.
But, baby's heartbeat is strong and healthy and I think I felt it move last week and again a couple days ago. It was so weird. It felt like a bunch of little bubbles moving in a wave across my lower belly.
Oh, D and I went and did a little baby shopping yesterday. We got a bassinet that had Snoopy coverings and a light blue mattress cover. It is oh so incredibly cute! We got it at a second hand store and the lady hadn't had a chance to clean it up, but we took it anyway because she was gonna up the price after she'd cleaned it. Once we get it cleaned I'll try and remember to post a picture of it. We also got a camouflage onsie, two pair of green camo shorts, one pair of gray camo shorts, a package of baby washcloths, and a winnie the pooh baby hat. Too cute for words. Obviously, boy or girl, it's going to be a camo wearing baby.
We also price shopped for strollers, car seats, and play pens at Walmart. Wow...amazing the kind of money you can tie up in those things. I think we're definitely gonna be hitting some garage sales and looking on craigslist for some things.
Well, that's all for now. Crossing my fingers that the little critter is cooperative on the next appointment and we can find out what it is. I'm definitely leaning more towards wanting a boy...I think D is, too.

Baby gift
D and I got our first baby gift yesterday from his mom. She had me tell D that she'd just found it in the mailbox, but he wasn't fooled.
It's so adorable. She kept telling me yesterday how excited she is that there's gonna be a baby around again. :-)

Whoa nelly!
So, I'm not sure if anyone reads this blog besides my dad and possibly sister who already know, but just in case you do and we're not also facebook friends...I'm gonna be a mommy!
I found out for sure April 29th that, yes, I am indeed cooking a bun in more than just a bread maker. The due date is November 10th and I've got my first prenatal appointment next week Tuesday (the 11th).
Obviously we don't know what gender it is, but we're gonna find out as soon as possible. I like surprises, but not necessarily ones that I have to wait six more months for. Besides, it'll make the clothes buying and name picking a lot easier.
There's still a great big "WOW" factor bouncing around in my brain. Sometimes I just take a pause and think, "Holy crap, I'm gonna be a mom!" But then there's the part that's all, "OMG!!! Sqeeeeee! I'm gonna be a mommy!!!!!"
So, other than that, it's life as normal. Been calling Subway off and on to check on whether they've gotten an opening. Nothing there yet, but I'm the first on their 'to call' list. The manager there also mentioned another Subway near his place that might still be hiring after a massive lay-off so I'm gonna check them out and hopefully something will come of that. Also gonna re-apply at Lowe's...again (for the 5th time). Coming up on being able to re-apply at Walmart, Walgreens, Kroger, Food City, and CVS. *crossing fingers*
D's work has picked up a little, but still not near what it used to be before Obama succeeded in fully flushing our economy down the crapper. He's done a little side work with his friend Tim who is probably going to be taking over contracts for KUB so that might turn into more of a full time thing for him.
That's about it for now. Obviously there will be regular updates on the pregnancy since there's only so much that can be put in a quick facebook update.
