Update/3D images

Its been quite a while since I've last updated this - so I'll do my best to get everything caught up.

First - Michael and I have decided to take the condo off the market and put it up for rent. In the mean time, we have started house hunting and have fallen in love with a couple houses. We really NEED to find a renter first, to give us peace of mind before putting an offer on a house. So keep us in your prayers for that, please!!

Second - The baby is moving a BUNCH!! I am 28 weeks pregnant, and things are still going very well. I had my glucose screening, hemoglobin test, and Rho Gham shot yesterday. I am measuring right on, and everything looks great so far. I should hear the results of the glucose screen by the end of the week. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. They gave me an orange drink - about 10 oz that I had to drink within 3 minutes, and then had to wait 60 minutes for them to draw blood. Fingers crossed that everything is fine! I've been doing well on my weight too, which is always nice to hear!

On Saturday, Michael and I went to get a 3D/4D sonogoram. And ohhh...she's soo cute!! It happened to be my birthday present. I was 27 weeks, and turned 27 years old. It was the best present EVER!! It was soo nice to see her all cozy inside of me. She is still breach, however, so I am a little nervous about that. The doctor said, yesterday, that if she hasn't turned before 36 weeks, they'll go ahead and schedule a C-Section. So needless to say, I looked up how to turn a breach baby. If you ever have time, take a look...its definitely a good laugh!

Anyways, I'm going to the doctor every 2 weeks now. No more tests until I'm 36 weeks, so the appointments will all be quick.

We should meet our little girl within 12 weeks...YEA!!!

Movin' right along...

This week I hit my 24th week of my pregnancy...only 16 weeks left! Crazy!!! I'm in my 6 month already. Time is going by so fast!!

Michael and I went to meet with a pediatrician last week, and we really liked her. She got her residency at the Children's Hospital in Cincinnati - so it was nice to relate to someone from that area. She was really nice and informative. Its a small practice, and literally right across the street from our condo complex! So we can check that off 'our list'.

Last weekend we met with a child care center - talk about a little overwhelming!! My emotions were at one of its highest points, and I don't even have her yet. It is very convenient though, to where I work - and its a Christian based school with high ratings from DCF. The only thing we didn't like was that you have to pay for 52 weeks of the year - no vacation time, which is definitely a bummer. We are going to check out a couple others in the area and see what they have to offer as well. Such a tough decision!!

This weekend is Easter and the weather has started to warm up again. It was such a cold winter, we were definitely ready for the weather to start changing! We leave the door and windows open all day, which makes it really nice! Sunday, we are having a few people over for brunch at the condo, and my mom wants to have a cookout at the River House. Should be a great weekend :)

Michael and I decided to put the condo up for rent. We listed it through a rental agency, so we'll see how that does. Once we find tenants, we'll buy a house (going to look next weekend) - with high hopes to get this done before Baby M gets here. Trying to stay optimistic :) So please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that we can get this moving!! I already spoke to a mortgage broker, and we would qualify for a loan (the range we are looking in), so I'm hopeful this will all work out just fine. We've taken all the right steps...now just need to find the right people to move in...sooner than later :)

Well thats all for now - Happy Easter!!
