Whew...

Hello everyone!

Well, we are 15 weeks & 1 day now! Yay! For some reason, I'm very excited to get to 16 weeks. We go to the doctor late Tuesday, 2/2, for a regular appointment. I'm definitely hoping this appointment goes much better than the last. Honestly, if we could go, see the baby, and hear the heartbeat, I'd be very happy. That's all I want. We then go to Omaha on Tuesday, 2/9, for the appointment with a perinatologist. I'm starting to get anxious all over again about that appointment, but am trying to remain calm for the baby.

I have been feeling quite a bit better...not as much nausea and a little more energy. I am still having back pain. In fact, this week, I had a rib out of place. Now, I'm not big on chiropractors. But, I was in so much pain that I had to go. It hit me Wednesday morning and again this morning. I think he has everything back in place, but will go tomorrow to check it out. This week, I have realized the importance of Arbonne. What a great feeling to know everything I am putting on my skin is all natural. I don't have to worry about the chemicals and acids in other products. And, they have really helped me control the back soreness. And, finally, I think I'm starting to show. I have this puffy stomach that came from nowhere! :) Yikes! I have a feeling I will be in maternity clothes within the next week or two.

And, the best news of the week is that I think we have a daycare provider!! I'm so excited. She is absolutely wonderful. We got a daily agenda and the structure is unbelievable!! She is a licensed teacher who really combines learning and fun throughout the day. I would feel more comfortable waiting until after these next 2 appointments to sign the contract, so I'm excited for the next 2 weeks to be over!! I feel so blessed to have her take care of our precious little one.

Please continue to say prayers for us!! Love you all!
