Updates

So this is me at 18 weeks. I am in my fifth month now. Sean and I have been doing pretty well. I just got re-hired today at my old restaurant. I will be waitressing two nights a week just for some extra spending and Christmas money. After the baby is born I will be going back to nursing probably just PRN (which is two times a month). Sean and I have our 20 week ultrasound in four weeks to find out the sex of the baby. I have been feeling the baby move a lot lately. Sean is getting jealous though because he can't feel it from the outside yet. We have started looking at names and have a little list going. I think we will pick out two or three once we find out the sex and then wait until the baby is born to decide for sure. Well that's about it for us right now. Please keep us updated on all of your happenings. Love Jess

Updates

Just wanted to give everyone some updates on Sean and I. Sean started his new job at ACL today. He says he really likes it. The office is really nice and so are the people. They have a really nice gym upstairs so he can't give any more excuses on why his pants are getting tighter :) I had an OB appointment today. She found the heartbeat on the Doppler really easily. The heart rate was 138 so according to the old wives's tale, it is a boy. (The old wives's tale says that if the heart rate in utero is 120-140 it is a boy and if it is 140-160, it is a girl). My OB says it isn't really accurate but I guess it is about 50% accurate. My sister found out she is having a little boy this past week so that would be fun to have a little boy cousin for him. I felt the baby move for the first time this week too. I wasn't sure that was what it was at first. Just felt like a little tap. But then I felt it again in the same spot. Sean is excited that the baby is already showing an aptitude for soccer. My ultrasound to find out the sex is in four weeks so I guess we will just have to be patient. Miss all you guys! Jess

Belly pics

Sean and I decided that we will be posting baby belly pictures from time to time. Fun for Sean, a little embarrassing for me, but it will make a good scrapbook. This picture is from 14 weeks, so officially the first week of my second trimester. We didn't take any in my first trimester because you really couldn't see anything. I have been feeling much better and have started exercising more regularly again. Of course I had some nice motivation after I unpacked my scale. Jess

New apartment

Sean and I just wanted to put up some pics of our new apartment. Nothing is hung up on the walls yet and we still have some boxes out, but you will get the general idea. We have also been getting our 72 hour kits ready and have started our three month food storage. Sean and I have been enjoying our callings. I am Gospel Essentials teacher (for new members and investigators) and Sean is assistant priest adviser in the Young Men's. He will also be helping to start a mission prep program. Sean has been offered a job at a call center, but is waiting to here from another one before he accepts. I interviewed at a dermatologist office, but didn't get it. No one wants to hire a preggo! :) I have applied for several others and am waiting for a response. Love all, Jess
