New things

Hello everyone! Here's a quick look into the things that are going on.

I went to the doctor's last week for a check up. And they said that everything looks great. The baby's heartbeat is nice and strong, my weight is good, and she said something about the babies position, but I'm not really sure what. My iron on the other hand is really low. I am taking 2 iron pills a day, that make my stomach upset. I am still taking them though, because my iron dropped 14%. I'm going to talk to my doctor my next check-up (next week), and see if there is a different kind of pill I can take.

We (well I should say Jon's mom Mary) has started decorating the babies room. She has most of the wallpaper up. It's an under water themed room. We have water bubble paper on the top half of the wall and then in the middle there is an Ariel Little Mermaid border, and then on the bottom half we have it painted a dark purple. She is almost done, except the Little Mermaid border paper we got, we got two packages of and one of them has a larger bottom part, so we have to go exchange it. I will take and put up pictures when we finish the room.

I have registered at Target. I have not put much on there yet. I'm still trying to figure out what I need and what not. Plus I'm not to sure what is good and what is not good. I've never done this before, so I'm pretty lost. When I registered in the store, they gave me one of those little scanner things and when we looked at the stuff they didn't really have much. We had found a stroller that we really liked, but for cribs and other furniture and what not, they didn't really have much at all. They had 2 cribs, that were 5 in 1 cribs, which we don't really need. So I have to look online for one.

Mary (Jon's mother) and I are going to look at a puppy today. I have been saying I want a puppy for a very long time now. We were about to get one when we lived in California, and then we decided to move out here. And now he always tells me that I am going to have a baby, and we already have a dog so we don't need a puppy. But I lucked out and talked to Mary about it and she told me she wanted to get a puppy too, so after many trips to the Humane Society (in which they never had any puppies only older dogs), we found a Rescue place not to far away that had one. We had to fill out an adoption application (we needed references lol), and then she called us back and set up an interview for today. An interview to adopte a puppy, how crazy is that. I think it's because this place is a Rescue Shelter, so they are very certain that the dog is going to a good home.

Jon is doing well. He is working 2 jobs now. He works Monday and Tuesday mornings (1-9 a.m.) at the casino doing the bartending. Then he works usually Mon-Sat at the Salvation Army from 9-1 (except mon and tues. then he works 10-2). Then Friday and Saturdays 4-Close at the casino. He is thinking about only working the over night shifts at the casino, because that's when he makes the most money, and he is getting worn out. But besides all that he is doing well.

I did my taxes a couple weeks ago. And I did them all by myself for the first time. Although I had Jon's dad check everything after I was done, just to make sure that I had done everything right.

The snow has yet to go away. I just read in Aunt Erika's blog that the snow is almost gone there, I wish we could be so lucky. We just keep getting more and more. We had some pretty crappy weather the other day. We had rain, freezing rain, hail, sleet, and snow. It's funny when we let the dog out, we put her on a chain and she can't go very far because there is so much snow. Next time I post I will take a picture. Normally we can't see her in our front window but with the 4 feet of snow we have, she just sits in front of the window and looks at us.



Well that's about all for now.

Love you guys :)
