I've had a frustrating couple of days. I decided to end my procrastinating last Saturday and headed to Walmart to register. Keep in mind that my mom and I already went there probably a month ago and they told us that their scanner was broken and that we could register online. I didn't want to register online so I waited. So...I go there and ask about registering and the woman tells me that they had their second scanner stolen and they wouldn't be replacing it until they move into their new supercenter location in July!!! UGH. So then I went to Kmart and they handed me a piece of lined paper to register with....I was like, ummmmm really??????? So I took it home and typed it up on excel so it would be nice and neat haha. I also went home and tried registering online for Walmart and got frustrated so I'm going to go to Marquette, againnn, to register at Walmart. This is all kind of silly to get frustrated about, but I'm pregnant so I get to be irrational :).
Onto the next subject...I will be 31 weeks tomorrow and I have a doctor's appointment. I will have to update tomorrow night and I'll take some pictures of my 31 week belly. I've been feeling good, a little more tired and slower moving, but I suppose thats expected. Wish me luck tomorrow and I will let you know how it goes!

29 weeks and 5 days
It's been awhile hey. I've been really busy for a change haha. I got back from Calgary two Sundays ago and I started work that next Monday, the 11th. I'm working in a first grade classroom as para-professional. I'm pretty much an assistant for the teacher...and do all the dirty work like bring them for bathroom breaks, to lunch, and out to recess. Thank god I wasn't doing this in the winter! I work Monday-Friday from8am-4...and surprisingly it goes by really fast :). I had a long first week though, it was my last week of class for the semester and I of course had procrastinated a bit...so I had to work my butt off, and then on Friday after my mom got off work at 5, we headed to Marquette for my friend, Krysta's, baby shower. She is due a little less than a month after me and we have known eachother for about 5 or 6 years. So...we woke up early the next morning so that we could make it to Target at 9 because I had to register for my baby shower, which I had procrastinated on, and buy Krysta her baby shower gift. Then I went to the shower, and we were on our way back to the Soo by 2! Needless to say, my mom and I both took a nap when we got home haha.
Target was also successful for one other thing...I bought the baby her crib bedding!! I had seen it the last time I was in Target and was stalking it online for a few weeks. So I knew it was exactly what I wanted. My mom bought a pack of matching recieving blankets and covered the rocking chair that we have and made a little curtain to match. Her and Dani are the crafty ones of the family...and I let them take over because they do a great job and I wouldn't haha. The rocking chair and curtain look really good and complete the whole "nursery"...which is my room too haha. Here are some pictures of the crib and bedding and some belly pictures because it's been awhile.
The beautiful curtain my mom made
An inside view. Chicketies, and the bumper looks like polka dots, but they're little flowers
My mom covered the custions with recieving blankets! She also made the ruffles.

Moving Belly
So I was lying in Pat's bed after I took a shower...and it always seems that the baby moves a lot after I take a shower or bath. So I decided to try to get a video of it. The beginning is a bit boring, but I started to "rile" her up by pushing on my belly and by the end my whole belly is moving :). She's sassy apparently haha. Other than my moving belly, I am now 7 months (28 week). yay. Only 3 months left. I don't feel very prepared, but my mother is more on the ball than me, and ordered my crib while I've been gone. She does nice things like that for me...like putting the crib together and having it all set up for when I come home :). Anybody who has lived with me has probably seen the dresser I attempted to put together myself, It was ugly and took me all day to figure out. So it's a good thing if someone takes over the crib, because it'll have much more precious cargo than my clothing.

27 Week Appointment
Pat arrived in town last Monday :)!! Just in time for my 27 week doctor's appointment. I had my gestational diabetes test and another rhogam shot. So it was a long appointment, and nice to have someone with me haha. Pat also had a chance to meet Doctor Mackie...so that was nice too. Everything went great and I have another 4 weeks to wait for my next appointment.
After the appointment, Pat and I headed to Marquette. We stayed the night at Dani's house and then took off for Calgary in the morning. We split our trip up into 3 days, thank god because the first day I was sick and the drive was torture. We are here now though :). We had dinner at Carolyn's for Leslie's birthday (for those of you who don't know, Leslie is Pat's brother, Ryan's girlfriend). Then we headed over to the local pub, Denim's...and of course I left early because I'm a bum, but everyone else is still over there having fun ;). Next time I come to Calgary I will have a Kokanee haha. I will take some pictures during my trip and post them later.

Good News
I finally had progress on my job hunt! I've been working on my substitute teaching applications and my mom's friend, Tracy, called this morning and told me to bring my application packet in to her school today because they're looking for a long-term sub for a para-professional in one of their classrooms. So I hurried and went to turn everything in, and Tracy saw me and introduced me to that teacher...who said she would put my name first on her list and told me that the position opens on May 11th...sooo more good news, because I can still go to Calgary for a visit!!!
Also...I was lying in bed last night and I saw my belly move! Hahaha, I had to keep looking because I thought maybe I was making it up in my head...but she moved again, so I took out my blackberry and tried to take a video, and of course she wasn't cooperating. I pushed and poked and tried to get her to kick or move again...but no luck. Oh well...I'll have to wait until she's more consistent. One more piece of good news...I have less than 100 days left, 99 to be exact haha!

26 weeks and 5 days - belly pics
I went to Marquette last weekend for a visit. It was so nice to see Dani and some friends...I've been waiting to see Dani again because she's my belly picture taker haha. We had a pretty laid back weekend, and I'm going back to Marquette on Wednesday with my mom and brother because they both have Doctor's appointments and why not, free ride up there :).
Pat and I decided that we're not going to pick a name out for the baby until she is born. We are going to pick 3 or 4 that we like, and then see what she looks like...and it takes a little pressure off of us to decide, because so far we've had no luck agreeing on anything besides her middle name is going to be Carolyn (Pats Mom's name). For a little update on the baby, she has been moving around more. I can feel her moving, but I have no idea what she's doing...it doesn't feel like a kick or a punch haha, just movement. The ultrasound tech informed me that the placenta was in the front so that could be why I don't feel as strong of a movement.
Pat's team lost last night, and that was their do or die game...so they are done with their season now, and he should be here in a week! He hasn't seen me for about 2 months...so he might be surprised how different I look haha. Like I said earlier, Dani took some more pictures for me...I wore the same shirt I wore in the first pictures because I thought it'd be easier to compare belly pictures.
My belly button is coming out a little...eek
almost 27 weeks
one with lily of course...sitting on my shelf ha

24 weeks and 1 day
I can't believe I'm 6 months pregnant already...this due date is creeping up on me and I feel like I just found out I was pregnant. My little bump seems to be growing by the day...I had an interview yesterday and I wore a tight shirt because I wanted them to know I was pregnant and not have to tell them, but then I left my jacket on and they didn't notice!! So as big as I feel I'm getting, I think I can still hide it...weird. I wanted to be honest with the people interviewing me because I don't want to go in my first day and say "oh by the way, i'm 6 months pregnant". I'm hoping I still get the job, it was a good interview and one of the people that interviewed me, remembers me from an internship I did there when I was in highschool, so that was a good thing.
Onto the exciting stuff...I had an ultrasound last friday. They had me drink 48oz of water before...which I didn't have to do before, so I was very full of water and in the first part of the ultrasound all I could see was the baby's spine because she was pushed allll the way up by my ribs and couldn't flip around or anything. So after I got to go pee we got to see a lot more. She was moving around and the woman told me she was stubborn because she doesn't move the way she is supposed to. We also saw her opening and closing her mouth and sticking out her tongue!! No sucking her thumb, but her hands were up above her head. The dissapointing part of the ultrasound was the disk they gave me with pictures on it...it was a read only file and I couldn't do anything besides look at the pictures, buuuut I scanned the pictures from my 19 week ultrasound so that I could post those! My mom keeps teasing me because I sarcastically told her that the baby looked like me after I saw the ultrasound pictures...hahah so you'll have to tell me what you think ;).
A good picture of her little face
All five fingers!!! haha
The "It's a Girl!" shot... and according to Carolyn "its a miracle!"
