Friday Rambles

Hello all.  Not much to say today, just some random stuff going through my head.  Listen if you'd like, if not, no big deal.  Probably nothing important anyway.

My boss has been scheduling me more morning shifts lately.  I like this because I get evenings with Michael.  I don't like it because I have to get up so early to get showered and dressed and everything.  Struggling to keep my eyes open this morning.

Went to Topeka Wednesday night to visit Glenn and Linda and watch Payden's game.  It was a short trip, but nice.  Good we went, as Glenn and Linda won't be able to attend our housewarming party.  We came home with gifts, which weren't necessary, but we're very excited about!  Linda made us a baby quilt!  It's beautiful!  Matches our bedding perfectly!  We also got a K-State rock which we plan on putting either in the front garden or on the front step.  See pictures at the end of this post.

Our baby is super-duper squirmy!!!  I feel lots of movement every day.  Sometimes the baby kicks outwardly, where Michael can feel the kicks too.  But sometimes the kicks are internal, and really, the best way to descibe the feeling is that it feels like a swift jab to the gut, which it is, so I guess that makes sense.  We hit 22 weeks today.  :)  Depending on which way you measure pregnancy (9 months on the calendar or 10 months with every month equalling 4 weeks) we are somewhere between 5 and 5.5 months along.  There's still a lot more cooking this baby has to do, but it is definitely growing!!  My weight fluctuates a little bit, but I seem to be up about 3.5-5 lbs.  This isn't as much as I should have gained yet, but my doctor isn't worried, so neither am by.  I'm sure the pounds will start piling on soon.  I'm starting to get scared of the scale.  :P

Our housewarming party is tomorrow.  I'm looking forward to seeing people and to show off our big, beautiful house!  :)  We've got a little cleaning and work to do on it, but not much as we did most of the work last weekend when Mere, Kylee, and TJ were here (and Shelly stopped by too).

Well, I can't think of anything else to say.  Guess I better finish getting ready for work, then get going.

Remember, if you want to find out the sex of our baby, be here for the housewarming on Saturday!  We're not sure when we'll put it on the internet, so you might have to wait even longer.  :P

Have a nice Friday, my friends.  :)

Also, please continue to pray for Michael.  He begins his new job on Monday.  He's very excited, but change and new things can be difficult, so just be thinking of him.  :)  Thanks!!
