Baby Timeline:

August 25, 2007: We find out we're pregnant after taking 5 tests to confirm it!

September 1, 2007: We share the news with our families.

September 22, 2007: First doctors appointment, find that baby is about 8.5 weeks.

October 29, 2007: Hmm so I'm really bored and felt like writing on this I guess. I'm 14 weeks now, and actually looking pregnant, not pregnant enough that people are asking, but I'm kind of hiding it with jackets and stuff like that. I just started a second job a few weeks ago to make some extra money. I've been doing a lot better saving money too, except on the weekends. I do really great during the week, and then on the weekends I tend to splurge on stuff we don't really need especially eating out.

I had my second doctor's appointment a week ago, everything is still sounding good- another high heartbeat, so everyone is saying maybe a girl! We find out the sex two days after Thanksgiving, so it will be kind of like a birthday present for me! The doctor situation has just become very stressful though, after two appts. I got a mailing that said he actually isn't covered under our insurance. Now I'm just playing phone tag with the insurance company, my mom, and the doctor. It wouldn't be a huge deal to switch doctors since the baby is still very far away, but it would just feel like starting over and getting comfortable with another doctor.

We still haven't decided on an apartment for the new year, and aren't sure of availability on the ones that we really like. School has still been going fine except for the fact that I can hardly focus on anything. I've still been feeling great, no nauseu or anything, I'm still feeling pretty tired most of the time. I'm looking forward to buying some things for the baby's room, I've already been offered two cribs from friends and family, so that's been very helpful!
