monthly post




I keep telling myself that I am going to get better at this. How hard could it be to post once per week??? After the March scare with the baby and moving, everything has finally settled down into a normal routine. I am LOVING my four minute commute, but I do miss the mountains and seeing Kass and Rachel on a more frequent basis. The baby has been moving like crazy, which is great. I know you are supposed to start counting movements at some point, which just seems like another way to make pregnant women neurotic, so I think I am going to avoid that little endeavour. I have not been back to my doctor since the whole episode with the last ultrasound because I have completely lost trust in the whole system. However I did break down and make an appointment for April 24th, all the time dreading the next test that they try to force on me. I just cannot understand why the whole point of the doctors appointments are just to try and find something wrong. I feel alittle bitter towards the system...

Matt and I are working on planting our first garden. Right now we have some lettuce growing, and some strawberries and rhubarb fighting for their lives. I found out that we, in our excitement, planted things about a month early for this climate. I am going to plant tomatoes, squash, asparagus, and an assortment of herbs sometime next month.

I am headed off to make spaghetti, the pictures above are the Yoda modeling a "Future weightlifter" bib, the most recent belly pick and the super sweet stuff I got off craigslist (thanks mom and dad).

My first comment is that I am so glad that you finally made a post!! The other comment is you look terrific in the picture, barefoot and pregnant(haha) I like the cool baby stuff, happy late birthday!! I never knew you had to count the movements of the baby. I guess that is something new. Forget the counting, just make sure she moves each and every day and that should be fine. Enjoy it, it will be over before you know it.

I was just getting on here to request another post...you beat me! As far as the counting, you'll start to realize she's super active at specific times of the day and you can just pay attention to make sure she keeps it up as she gets bigger. Don't stress the numbers. You're beautiful!
