Oh Baby...

So this last week on Friday May 2nd to be exact, we went to the Circle of Life Women's Center in South Ogden Utah to see our baby for the first time. Our visit was with a mid-wife who seemed knowledgeable. It was a very nice clinic and the wait wasn't bad at all. We got a little first trimester gift bag with magazines, coupons, and some graphic pictures. The ultrasound was amazing I don't know what I was expecting but she just stuck the roller thing on my tummy and bam there was our baby up on the screen. We both kind of stared in awe. And then she pushed a button and we could hear a swooshing noise. She said this is the heart beat which was 165? I think? Everytime she measure him on the screen it showed up 12W 4D so I guess I'm only 3 mo. along! I was sure I was like 14wks, not. So anyway I told her I've been super sick and have been throwing up several times a week. She said she imagined it would get better soon, what was I thinking I should have demanded the Rx right then. I just said oh you think so, ok? She really stressed to me that I needed to be getting alot more protien. Something I'd almost ruled out of my diet. Now I'm trying to eat more so we'll see if it helps my blood sugar levels. But I'm comtimplating calling her and demanding a Rx. I didn't tell her I was working full time and feel like I'm just bearly able to function. I guess we'll see.

Jon's been a really good sport about everything. Dealing with an emotional, moody, sick wife who has lots of demands (but only cause she feels sick or else she'd do them herself). He came with me to the prenatal visit and enjoyed more than I did I think. Took me out to eat after for lunch, where I just basically watched him eat. He's done the cleaning and the cooking. I'm really hoping to feel human soon. Jon also didn't shoot me for volunteering his service on his day off Saturday. He helped some people in our ward move out their son/daughter from another apartment. To my surprise he brought back a cream leather couch that reclines! And it has cup holders in the middle. Fun huh, so now we have two couches and a rocking recliner and no space. Oh the best thing was the other surprise a long black wooden end table that looked like it could have come from Pottery Barn, its really cute. It was really funny mainly because it was unexpected but I guess they were going to throw them away. We love our new couch and sit in it often. Last night I said it's funny that someone's trash is now our treasure. I'm reclining right now and as I type.

So we finally came to grips with the reality of having a small dog in a one bedroom apartment. I really can't handle it bc the mess and the smell is enough to send me to the bathroom these days. I've put him up on KSL for sell we'll see if we can't get some money out of him before I end up just giving him away. I really do love my dog, he makes me laugh, and still is semi cute. But I could probably use the money now. Speaking of money we still haven't gotten our tax returns and I'm wondering if we'll be getting the stimulus check before the returns. I wonder who I call to complain, I like to do that. AT&T may now have a number that routes all phone calls from our #'s to some complaint hotline. I have to call them every month bc they totally mess with their customers and try to get away with it. I've shared some of my feelings with them.

Well have a good week. I'm trying to figure how to get my pictures and DVD yes I got a DVD of my ultrasound and every time I go back they'll add to it.
