Whew! Back Up & Running!

We've been without the internet now for about a week here at home and I haven't wanted to stay one minute longer at work to update our blog. The tech guy came today though so here I sit!

We've toured the hospital so we now know where we will be when our Little One decides he/she is ready to enter the world! No, we still have not opened the envelope to learn the sex of our baby.

We're still searching for a babysitter! I'm sure everyone has a story when it comes to interviewing prospective child care providers... and now we've got more than one! Our first hopeful is 41 yrs old going on 20. She is nice...she really is and she could work if we find no other. However, she is a bit out of our way and not in the most convenient of locations for us. Her famous "You know what I mean" after every sentence can be really annoying but funny all at the same time! Then there's a 65 year old woman who is a retired casino dealer. We were to meet her at Panera and upon what we assume was her arrival (40 minutes late), we left before even exchanging a "hello." After seeing her through the front glass we both agreed that there was no way she was going to watch our child! We're still not sure if it was her or not and we'll never know. Our most recent visit was with a family here in Green. She sounded great on the phone and we were hoping to hit the jackpot with this one! NOT THE CASE! She was so chubby that she did not get out of her La-Z-Boy recliner to greet us! Heaven for bid our child be choking on the other side of the room!! We saw her rec room in the basement after passing the open litter boxes.... ugh! The rec room was a disaster, not from children, but from her Christmas decorations and anything else you can imagine. Of course according to her husband, it's under construction! When we got in the car to leave, Brandon was speechless! He finally broke and told me he had "Four words.... NO WAY IN HELL!" Our search continues.

I attended a breastfeeding class. It was nice, but truly a lot of common sense. I'll just learn as I go and do the best I can. Let's hope I'm successful.

We're in our 27th week! I can't believe it. We're seeing the Dr now every two weeks! Monday's appointment went fine. The heartbeat is still a strong 157. My Glucose test was normal indicating that I am not at risk for Gestational Diabetes for this pregnancy. Here is a picture of me at 26 weeks. By far not the best of me, but will try to update a new photo next week.
