14/15 weeks

Its been a busy couple of weeks. Here's what's been happening lately.

- had a doctors appointment last week. Baby Pierce had another strong heartbeat but it was between 145-150. My dad is convinced its a boy. I'm still hoping for a little girl. Our gender ultrasound at the doctors is February 23th. Gained 1.5 lbs this time. Both my doctor and I were happy.

- I've moved on from my salad cravings but the pickles are still a huge craving. I went to subway for Steve and got extra pickles for me. Lol. I opened his sandwich and ate all the pickles before he even knew I was home.

- Jenna turned 23! We went out to dinner at Bulls Head Tavern. Kellie, Shentel and I split a chicken ceaser salad and a chicken pasta. It was awesome! I'm ready to go back again really soon.

- Steve and I watched Jace for the weekend while Kellie and my parents were in Chicago. We had a lot of fun playing in the snow and just hanging out. We also meet the Arens family for dinner at the Dungon. I got a bomb ass grilled cheese with tomato and pickles. So...that's my new craving.

- I got my car back from the from the shop. It looks brand spanken new. The even detailed and washed my car. I was so happy!

- Steve and I started a fun calendar game. You can earn points everyday and after 2 weeks whoever has the most points gets a prize. I know it sounds silly, I thought so too, but we are having fun. I won the first 2 weeks. Steve has to buy me something nice. I can't wait to see what he picks for me.

- Katie told me about GVSU students doing ultrasounds. She scheduled 2 dates and they actually pay you $30. So of course I had to set up some appointments too. My first one is February 2nd. I will be 17 weeks at that pint so I'm hoping they will be able to see the gender before. Y actual doctors appointment.

- I've planned a gender party for February 2nd since I will have the ultrasound at GVSU. I'm going to have them out the gender in an envelope so I won't know either. I will meet up with Shentel afterwards and she is getting stuff ready for the party. She will be the only one who will know the gender. Family and a few close friends will come over and we will all find out together. I can't wait to have the party. I really need to do some shopping. I will be posting pictures for sure after the party.

Hopefully I didn't forget anything that happened in the last couple of weeks. Pictures of the weekend will Jace coming next. :)

2012 & New Years Eve

Wow, it's 2012! This is going to be such an exciting year, especially come July. I turn 28,we will welcome baby Pierce and Steve and I will be married for 5 years. Hard to believe its almost been 5 years. Also, in 2012 we will welcome 4 babies on the Maday side and my brother-in-law and sister-in-law are having baby number 3, my best friend Ali will have baby Mark and my dear friend Katie will have baby Ali. It's the year for babies. Come April, I will be 6 months pregnant and in my best friend Heather's wedding. I'm getting exhausted just thinking about all the things to come.

For New Years Eve, Steve and I had friends over. We had a bunch of good food and a couple good games of catch phrase. I little different not drinking this year but totally worth it. Everyone left around 12:30-1:00 so I could crash. That was a long day for me even thought I did get a short nap in. Steve was a little wasted and paid for it in the morning. Ahh....it felt nice not to be hung over. :)

Baby and I are still doing good. Still loving salads and pickles. Still trying to workout so I can stay healthy. Some days are harder to get there then others. I'm hoping to get the 20th off to start getting the baby's room together and the office stuff downstairs. I need to move the current guest room to the current office. Not a huge project but it will take some time. Kellie is going to help me. I'm going to need all the help I can get to stay motivated since I hate cleaning.

Next appointment January 12th. Can't wait to hear the heartbeat again.
