Yard Sale

Justin and I had our first yard sale today. It started off pretty slow and really cold! We had a few people come by and buy some clothes. I really was wanting people to buy our desk and keyboard. All of sudden two people came by and bought the desk and keyboard at the same time! After that, I told Justin I was satisfied with packing up and stopping right then. We made a little over $100. I was mainly wanting to get rid of the big stuff so we would have more room for when we move and more room for baby stuff. :)
We had some fun friends stop by that kept us company, and we even got some donuts from Mana Donuts. You should try them out, they are on McCart. Thanks Lauren and Alex, you made the yard sale fun.

simple update

This semester has been rough-- usually I am so motivated and ahead of the game with classes. This semester all I can think about is being pregnant, what we will be having, wanting to sleep all the time, moving somewhere bigger, being a mom in August.... many other things that keep my mind occupied.
From the moment I woke up this morning I have been feeling a little bit of morning sickness. I am in my 16th week, I thought this was to be all over. It's kinda ironic because in my 1st trimester I rarely ever felt sick.... until I had to cook dinner. Oh the smells!!
I have two really boring classes this semester. I feel like all I am ever doing is reading and taking quizzes. Its not even midterm yet and I am ready for summer. Its not like this summer school work will end though. I will be doing an externship for counseling and also taking 2 classes.
I am just ready to be a mommy. I look at other friends with thier babys and I can't wait to start making my own memories.
4 weeks and we will know if we are having a boy or girl!!

Sick

Not morning sickness, but achy, runny nose, and being fatigue sickness. Last Monday I was running a temperature, then I thought I was over everything. Today, I woke up and feel the same as I did last week. I need to get over all this junk so I can concentrate on studying! Please be praying for my health. Thanks.

Doctor appointment

Yesterday I had another check up. I was able to hear my precious bundle of joys heartbeat. I wish they would let me listen longer. :( All my blood work came back good and other tests they ran. Which is a relief! In 6 weeks we will find out what we are having. Justin still would rather wait till the day of birth, but, I just can't wait that long! My mom is flying down for the sonogram, then we are going shopping!! Yay!
So many of my friends have been having babies, it is getting me anxious and excited for my day to show off our child. It will be so amazing the day I get to hold our child in my arms. Then, look at all its characteristics and figure out who he/she looks like. However, Murphy genes are pretty strong. :)
Justin and I may make a trip to Missouri in March. I want to see people and go out with girlfriends. This is an exciting time of life, and I want to share it with many people. So, when I know for sure, I will have my mom spread the word and we will have a ladies day somewhere.... obviously including FOOD. I am definately getting an appetite! Sometimes I think a little to much of one.
Thats all whats new for now. Besides me studying non-stop. Pray for my energy to motivation. It is so easy to get distracted while being pregnant! All I can think about is my baby and the changes she/he will bring.
