I really should write more here. I'm doing okey with keeping up the baby book, but I'm sorry, I'm a bit of a slacker here.

Last monday (April 3) I had an appt. with my midwife. I heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time... SO SWEET!! :) I've seen the heartbeat twice before with the ultrasounds, but it's the first time I've heard it. She said it was strong and steady and everything's good! For some reason I had some problems after she did the doppler though. She had to press pretty hard, and search for awhile before she could find the heartbeat. She was pressing into my bladder and after the appt. I had SO much pain there. It just HURT! Luckily by the next day all was back to normal.

Tomorrow I have to go have a glucose test. I'm SO not looking forward to it. I'm not worried about the test, that's no big deal. However, I am not allowed to eat before I have it and that will be TOUGH. When I wake up in the mornings I'm always SOOOOO hungry, and if I don't eat right away then the morning sickness thing starts. I actually have to keep crackers by my bed so I can eat as soon as I wake up. I was really hoping that would be over with by now, but it's only getting worse. It seems like I might be one of the unlucky ones who have it throughout the pregnancy and not just in the first trimester :( Ahhhhh well. I've adjusted to it a little bit. I just have to carry food and water with me AT ALL TIMES because when I get hungry it gets BAD.

I can't believe that at my next appt. with my midwife (May 1) I will be almost 20 WEEKS!!!! That's HALFWAY!!!! Unbelievable!

Okey, now some Non-baby news:

Erik's getting a company car!!! I'm really excited about it, because we need a new car in a bad way and I was already worrying about it because I just wasn't sure how we could manage to get a new one since I lost my job/baby on the way. Well, kind of out of the blue the company offered him a car if he would move to a different city. Now he works about 10 minutes away, and in May he will be working about 40 minutes away. He's really happy about it. Even though his official office is 10 minutes away now, he RARELY works there. probably about 80% of the time he was working out of town anyway, sometimes at the office 40 minutes away, sometimes at the other offices spread throughout the country. Anyway, we went car shopping this weekend and it was SO MUCH FUN! We were test-driving like crazy. It's just pretty fun to be able to pick out a brand new car. We do have a budget of course, but it's MUCH higher than it would have been if we had been buying a car on our own. We also get a gas card with it!! Yayyyyy!!
