Feeling the baby!

Well as of today I am 18wks, 5 days. Here's a pic of me from two days ago:

I have been feeling the baby move more and more in the last few days. At first it was a kick here and there. Now I can feel kicks and I felt a rolling of sorts a few days ago that was interesting. It's such a welcome event to feel that and know the baby is doing well. We go for our 20 week scan next Friday and I'm excited to hear that the baby is growing on target. The heartburn is still going strong. I need to go look for another over the counter medicine to help because the Tums aren't doing their job too well. Sometimes the heartburn wakes me up in the middle of the night if its bad enough.

Kim is being over protective, which I'm used to, but more than usual. It's sweet though so I'm not going to harp on it, yet. It's hot here, but I've been in the a/c all day. Boy do I wish we had central air, but I'll have to do with the window a/c for now. My rings are starting to be a little hard to put on and off so I left them off today. I'm guessing at this rate I won't be able to wear them by September or so.

I'm sitting here watching one of my new fav shows, Two and a Half Men. Today was a rough day in real estate. I'm hoping that all works out on my difficult transactions by the end of the week.

Ta Ta!

Just Checking in

Well I'm sitting in my office and I really need to get to work but I wanted to post. It's been a good week for me. Last week we went to the doc and found out that the baby is lying transverse so he couldn't tell the sex of the baby. He also said it looked like I had a heart shaped uterus which concerned me some but I'm trusting in God that everything will be ok.

We've had a good couple of weeks in real estate. Last week we had 3 closings and I listed two homes. I also have one offer that I'm waiting to see if its accepted and two listings have gone under contract in the last two weeks. Today my goal is to find some more folks that need to sell their home so I can schedule some appointments for the next week.

The holiday weekend was good. We saw fireworks live and on tv. We went to a bbq and we enjoyed spending time together. I was so happy that we had the extra day on Monday off to get it together for the week.

Last week we also had a chance to visit a baby store in the area. They had the lightweight frame that we've been talking about to use as a stroller while the baby is an infant. It was only $80. They also had this convertible stroller that you can use from infancy to toddler but when they told me it was $1100 I quickly turned from that one. Kim said, "That's a mortgage payment!".

Well here's today's 17 week pic. I really should take another to face the same way as the previous one. I'm tired right now so let me get some work done while I can.
