WOW, I am pretty emotional today! What's new huh?! Sean and I were talking about baby kicking this morning and I was describing what each kick feels like and when I think it may be the hands, versus feet, versus butt, versus head. And well then I started to cry. I also miss my hubby today extra much. I also am pretty emotional over the music I am listening to. I went into the nursery earlier and was emotional then too. Sheesh! Crazy hormones! They are all good emotions and I am very happy though.
Baby can hear us now, which is really cool. We can sing, read and talk to him or her. Smile.
We had a good rest of the weekend. Saturday I got all caught up with scrap booking. I had pics from October on. I also started the Pooh Bear baby book Kyle gave us for Christmas. And it was fun doing scrap booking pages with all our ultrasounds, as well. We also had a date night. We went to Outback. What a great experience. There was a 1 1/2 wait, but Sean got us a table by the bar so we barely waited. The service was excellent. They handed out free appetizers. The food was delicious. We were done after an hour and a half. And we had a $20 gift card so we spent $10 total.
Yesteday, we went to bible study and church and then there was a BBQ at church afterwards. We also did our first 10% tithing, which we are very excired about and not stressed or anxious about anymore. Feel very calm and at peace with our decision and know we are being obediant and making God happy and we are feeling very happy to give.
After church we went over to our friends Jackson and Joy's house to see their new baby (5 weeks old). His name is Joel and boy is he adorable. They also have a 2-year-old. We talked lots, played with baby, watched football and had a great time. Joy goes back to work in February and I will be watching little precious Joel at our house every Thursday (that is one of my days off from work). We are really excited about this. It will be great for me - a preview of what's to come. He is so adorable and it is just going to be so much fun to have him around the house. They are also paying us, but that was not the reason for doing it, although a little extra money for us is nice. We are feeling very blessed to be able to help them out and it will be fun for us.
Have a God Blessed Day!

Lil Update
I never went into detail about my ultrasound. Baby is healthy. Heartbeat was 157. My cervix still measured 3.2 cm (over 3 is best). Baby was kicking away. Obviously, baby was drinking or yawning by the ultrasound pic. Baby is still breach, but not to worry. I think that's about. Overall, :). I heart baby!
Becca and Joel had their baby on Monday. So congrats to them!
Sean, dad and I went to dinner with Linda. My friend and dad's ex-girlfriend from when I was younger. I have known her since I was 5! It was very nice to see her. She lives in Naples with hubby and kids now. We went through some difficult times, but have renewed a very welcomed relationship, so I am happy about that.
I finally got all the stuff out of the nursery so it is completely cleared to now fill with baby stuff. The crib and changing table are all setup in there and what stuff we have gotten for baby is now put away in drawers and the closet that I finally emptied out. It was like a spare bedroom/storage area beforehand.
My 1st week of school went well and I think I am going to enjoy my classes and my teacher. I also got my diploma in the mail yesterday! YAY!
It's cold here! In the 30s.
And last but not least.... Jon Gruden and Mike Allen (Bucs head coach and GM respectively) were fired yesterday! Big news around Tampa Bay!

This is going to be a quick one I promise this time. School started today and I need to read over some stuff, eat breakfast and hopefully take a short nap before work.
Thursday's prenatal massage, haircut and color went well. My hair should last at least 4 months before having to go back. The massage was nice, but a bit uncomfortable because of lying on my side. We went to grandma's for Chinese that night.
Friday after work we had our pastor and his wife over for fondue. We had so much fun. We feel much better about tithing now too.
Saturday I worked. After that, Sean and I went back to the spa. He got a massage. I got micro, facial and eyebrow wax. Again, was very nice, but uncomfortable because of the way I had to lay. We came home and did nothing after that and it was nice. We watched King Kong. It was alright, but way too long.
Yesterday we went to bible study, watched the kids in the nursery and attended a financial class preview. It is 13 weeks and we will be doing it. It is through church. We are excited. We went to the new Wal-Mart Market right down the street that opened last week. It is pretty cool. Then to Sam's to stockpile on groceries. 24 started last night - I heart 24!
A new first with baby - we can see baby from the outside now! It is so awesome. You can see the kicks and movements in my belly. We love it!
I am nervous and excited to start school again.
And I'm hungry so gotta go!

Healthy BABW checkup and finding an old friend
Sean and I had a baby checkup today. My pee was good. My weight has increased. Blood pressure is normal. My belly measured 19 cm, which is good. It was 14 cm last time. It is maybe a cm or 2 under, but not really. I guess at 21 weeks, they would like 21 cm, but it all depends on who measures; it's not totally accurate. So suffice it to say, all is well with that. We heard baby's heartbeat (140), which was perfectly normal. Q&A'ed our OB. That's about it. We are really happy for a normal appointment and thank God for that.
I found my oldest friend Libby (oldest as in how long I have known her, not her age!) on Facebook. We used to be best friends back when I was like 5 or 6! We were neighbors when my mom and I lived in Dunedin. Then we moved to GA and them to PA. We still kept in touch and in 5th grade I spent Spring Break in PA with her. Well, we eventually lost touch and it has been since around 5th grade that I had talked to her. So, I was super excited to find her, see her pics, see what she has been up to, talk to her, etc! :O)
Sean detailed both our cars yesterday (yes, it did rain of course before and after he washed them - no lie). He also made my breakfast and lunch before I went off to work and because I was feeling so nauseous yesterday, he gave me a nice massage. OK, had to brag. He is so lovely!
I am off today, of course, because it is Thursday. In a bit, I am going in for a haircut and color and a prenatal massage. Yippie!

Monday, really???!!!
I am going to try not to make this post as long as my other ones because I would like to eat breakfast and take a nap before I go to work today.
The rest of our New Year's was good. Got all of our decorations put away and took the tree down. We had our traditional New Year's dinner. Well, Sean had never heard of this before me. It is definitely a Southern thing. It was good - ham, black-eyed peas, cornbread and collard greens. Yum! We had it again on Friday. Double yum! Friday after work we really did nothing. Watched some Smallville. It was nice to relax. Sean had to work on Saturday. I was busy around the house, went and visited him at work, volutneered with the cats and then met him back here. My cousin and her hubby were supposed to come see the house and the belly, but never made it. Sean and I took care of pet sitting duties and then went to dinner at Carrabba's. We had a gift card. We were enjoying ourselves, but got into a "heated discussion" regarding tithing. We want to start giving the 10%, but we got very stressed about it the day before we were to start it. So, we are going to talk to our Pastor about it. Him and his wife are coming over for fondue night at our house on Thursday to see our place and discuss our concerns. We are looking forward to it.
Yesterday was B-U-S-Y! We went to bible study and then we were supposed to fill in, in the nursery, but it ended up that we were able to go into service. Sean also talked to a group of kids about why he chose to be baptized as an adult. We went to Babies R Us and registered. Let me tell you, long time we were there!!!!!!!! It was fun, but tiring. We were there for about 3 hours! Then to Target to do an exchange, PetSmart to use a gift card, but finding out there is no money on it. Allie got it for Christmas from my sis-in-law's cat. I guess Ranger played a mean Christmas prank on our poor Allie. Only kidding. We need to call Hillary and see what happened. Then we tried to get dinner, but failed the first two places because they were closed and ended up at Subway. Last stop was Publix.
OH! Sean was able to feel lots of kicks on Saturday night and some strong ones at that! I am feeling a lot more movement and it is getting stronger. A few kicks lately have sorta knocked me back!
I still typed a long post. I'm hungry.

HNY!
Happy New year! Hope it was safe and fun! We went to my coworker's house - Carly. Her and her husband live up in Holiday. A little bit of a hike. Sean and I were both DD's (of course I was!) so we drove Leigh Ann and Josh up there. It was fun. I made it until 11, but then had to leave. So tired! We got home by 11:30, watched the ball drop and then I crashed. We slept in until almost 8:30! That is rare. We are never sleeping when it is light outside! Good way to start 2009.
Sean finished building the crib and changing table yesterday! It looks so good. We still have a lot to do, but it is really starting to come together more. It looks like a nursery and not a guest bedroom.
I am excited for 2009. Of course the biggest thing is the baby coming. But I am also excited to have a happy year with family and friends. To grow more spiritually with God. To do well in school and at work. To get our house all ready and organized for baby. To attend Sunday school and more classes at church and fellowship with others. To pray more, read the Bible more. Think positively. Be a better wife, friend and family member. Be a good parent and show our child never- ending love. To save money. Yah, I could go on and on. I never really stick to one resolution. I am an overachiever. I love the start of a new year, a new beginning, a chance to change the bad and improve the good. A new leaf. A new chapter in our very blessed exsistence.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
