Quick Update

I had another appointment with the nurse practitioner on Tuesday. Everything went good. I had my first external ultrasound. Baby is doing good - the heartbeat is still going strong. Almost through the first trimester - what a relief! Today I got some more blood work done, which sucked, but I guess I should just get used to being poked and prodded at for the next 6 months.

Justin has a wonderful co-worker, whose daughter had a baby a few years ago. She's been giving Justin hand me downs - including a bassinet, and I must say that it is very sweet. I haven't met her yet, but I'm going to have Justin bring her flowers or a nice potted orchid as a way of saying thanks. I've started to tentatively shop for baby necessities. I've only bought a few muslin receiving blankets I got half off on babysteals.com. I'm super excited about it, because they are normally rather expensive, and I wouldn't have been able to justify the price tag otherwise. I'm holding out for a deal on some baby slings - hopefully they'll be featured on the site sometime soon.

Other than that, I'm still pretty tired, but I'm only working a small amount each week and have been able to sleep in a lot.

I hope everything is going wonderful where you are!

Hi Rose and Justin, So happy for you that things are going well. All is well in Potomac, MT. We've had snow this week but it's a beautiful sunny day and almost 50, snow is melting fast. We can see bare ground in quite a few places now. Keep up the good work.
