Hello to Everyone. I just had my second Prenatal appointment and everything so far looks good. I was able to hear the heartbeat, the little one didn't like to stay in one place so it took a while for it to be found. And that is always a little nerve wracking. In those few seconds the worst of thoughts race through your mind... But the baby has a healthy heart rate of 166 bpm. My blood pressure is at 120/78 and that's pretty good. During Christmas week I had been so sick with morning sickness, not being able to taste anything let alone keep it down for very long, I ended up loosing 5 lbs since my last appointment 4 weeks ago. Now if I weren't pregnant it would be a good thing but it can be bad if I loose too much weight. But I think the morning sickness has finally stopped. It's been a week since I've felt nauseous, well except for tonight.... Someone was passing gas and I just about tossed my cookies. Sorry if that's too much info. And just so everyone knows it wasn't me, Brandon or John... So don't get any ideas. 

I have had loads of help getting the house into livable order from friends and family who have come over. I am trying to think of how I want it decorated and just how much more money I have to spend on different projects. I keep going back between something really elegant and something more country/old fashioned. I'm sure when I see something I like I'll know it. I looked through the Pottery Barn catalog and drooling over some furniture and drapes... Oh well. I suppose I'd have a better time if was able to decorate over time and relax then to get frustrated because I felt like I had to get it done in a certain amount of time. Alyssa has graciously offered her assistance in helping me. We have similar tastes in most things so that is going to be a big help. Now if we could just find the time when we could get together...

John's mom flew down to Las Vegas and his dad and oldest sister left today and are driving down. Please keep them in your prayers. Apparently Grandma Shirley will be having Chemo-therapy for 5 months and John's mom is going to try to stay down there for the whole time so she can take care of her. We aren't quite clear as to why she can't move up here and get treatment. Her doctor just has advised against this. I would like to go and see her sometime before the baby gets here but many airlines won't let pregnant women fly if they are past a certain month so we would need to do this within the next 4 months or so. We'll see. Well I hear Peanut crying upstairs so I should go make sure he's okay.
