We are to five weeks...
Morning sickness at its best! When we first found out I prayed a lot and promised God and myself I would not complain because this is all a miracle from him, and I feel blessed and honored that we would trust me with such a blessing. I'm not complaining merely just telling you that I have had morning sickness, I thought I got it under control with the vitamins and fish oil as well as eating healthy snacks frequently... still every morning until around 10-10:30 my stomach feels a little queasy... I know it could be worse so I don't have a reason to complain! :)
Lunch:
Banana, carrot, Turkey Sandwich on whole wheat, and String Cheese :)
(It's a lot easier to eat healthy when you know someone else's life depends on it)
The weather here is getting so nice! High of 63 today...who can complain about that? The schools are actually on spring break so we have our all day programs for families that don't go out of town...today we are walking to the bowling alley! This means great exercise in the beautiful weather, then tonight I will probably go for another walk 30 minutes three times a week is what they recommend for me.
Some updates from Dan- Had his annual review and has improved every quarter=RAISE! I couldn't be more proud of him, he may struggle with actually loving his job, but he puts a smile on and does his best every day...it will pay off...just be patient. He has been doing really well lately at work, being one of the top bankers in the state for 3 weeks in a row :) Other than that he is still grasping the whole baby thing. Although, last night he rubbed my stomach for the first time which I loved...(even though I don't have a bump..yet!)....
House projects- Well the closet needs to be finished ASAP however, I'm the painter in the family so I'm not sure when that will be finished...we started in August 2010 and it still isn't finished...we like to take our time apparently! No, it will get done...hopefully I will have a post for that before you have a chance to read this post... We have a lot to do before baby arrives!! :) It will be interesting to see what posts you get to read of "finished" projects before you read these posts about the baby.... I'm hoping, the closet, front door, and living room will be finished when you read this post (7 weeks)....you all will have to let me know how we did!
Budget- We are still kicking away at the budget and finances! Dan spoke with our insurance company the other day and we seem to have a great plan...but we will change it once baby gets here. We are still following Dave Ramsey's plan...he says when you are ready to have babies you have babies you don't wait until you are debt free. He advises that you stop putting all the extra income into debt and get three to five months saved up...Think we can get that?!? Right now we have about 20% of what we need but we still have (at the time you get to read this) 6 months :) Which means we are back to paying minimum on everything again...however we have no Furniture to pay on, no camera to pay on, and no Wartburg to pay on....so that money is starting to add up :)
This weekend, Dan has to work, I have to work Friday and Saturday night at Old Navy, classes start back up Monday so I might work ahead on some assignments that I know are coming up...and hopefully some housework :) Oh and my Parents get home from their cruise so I'm looking forward to hearing about that....
That's all for this week...
Love you all!
The Buchholz 4.5 :)
