30 weeks

Here's me at 30 weeks. We were testing out the camera before clients came in today. I'm also testing out something. It seems that when I upload pictures to websites the quality goes way down. Not sure what this is about.




There, that's better. A friend of mine on Facebook helped me figure out what my problem was. Still don't completely understand my problem but at least I have a temporary fix.

Anyway, a little more about the pregnancy. She supposedly weighs around 3 pounds now and I can feel her moving a lot. There are days that I feel her tons and days that I hardly ever feel anything. Yesterday was a day there wasn't much movement and it's those times that I get a little worried and wonder why I don't appreciate the moving more when I feel her move. I still am breathing deep and have been for the last month. There are times I just feel like I'm out of breath, especially during my WW meetings. Overall the pregnancy has still been very mild. First shower is in a week and then another towards the end of February. Scott and I both have had dreams where we can actually see her face and hold her but she's still in my belly. Weird huh?

25 things you didn't know about me

Alright, for those of you that don't have Facebook, here are my '25 things' I posted about a week ago:

1. I'm a Weight Watchers Leader (which means I'm also a Lifetime Member). I lost 45 pounds in 2006.

2. I took voice (singing) lessons my senior year of high school and was also the lead in our high school play (Grapes of Wrath)

3. I almost failed my Government class which almost led to me not graduating high school (I skipped school a lot towards the end of HS)

4. My husband and I had a goal of getting out of debt (except the house) before our first child was born and we will accomplish that goal :)

5. I'm very cheap when it comes to spending money on myself, I hate getting my haircut and don't really like shopping for new clothes either.

6. I'm obsessed with cookbooks although I hardly ever cook.

7. I never skip a meal.

8. My birthday is on St. Patrick's Day.

9. I work for a family business so literally work in an office that's connected to my parent's house.

10. We live in a small manufactured home in Stewartville (again, part of the "get out of debt" plan) but it's for sale and we are hoping to be able to take advantage of the buyer's market right now.

11. Our 2006 Honda Civic was hit 4 times in one year.

12. I was born in Rochester, NY.

21. I ran, swam and biked in a sprint triathlon last year.

22. I used to have several imaginary friends when I was younger including a horse, grandma, baby, bee, rabbit, cat, dog and more. Oh and they all had names too :)

24. I've only been to one funeral.

25. I didn't eat red meat for over 4 years.
