Good Things To Come

Although my last post was not the happiest of posts I do have good news. I believed it wouldn't be fair to add my good news on a post devoted to my friend Kelsey and her baby girl Colby.

Shawn received a raise just recently. He got a $3.00/hr pay increase. I guess the company has had enough with a quick turnover rate due to low starting wages. Not to mention when Shawn has been there for 3 months he will receive another $3.00/hr pay increase. So things are definitely starting to look up. Shawn's boss has told him over and over again how happy he is that he hired Shawn. My thoughts on this are " Are you kidding me... He's an excellent worker and your lucky he dropped his resume off and harassed you for a position. " haha.

I have my monthly check up on Wednesday January 18th. I will be 17 weeks at this appointment and will be able to book my ultrasound at the hospital to make sure everything looks good with baby and I will also be able to book my gender scan with my ob/gyn. Both will be done around 20weeks pregnant. To us that is very exciting. It will be nice to know what we are having so we can start preparing for baby in a more "gender specific" way! I am hoping to book these ultrasounds both on Shawn's days off. Especially the gender scan. I am really excited to share that moment with him :)

Sure feels like time is going by so slow. But I know it is indeed going faster than I think it is. I am currently in my 4th month of pregnancy on a 9 month basis. I believe the last time I posted about my gender scan I had 5 or 6 weeks to wait. Now I'm down to approx. 2-3 weeks. Super, Very, Extremely Excited! Can you tell?

Still not showing. It will come in its own time I suppose. Baby isn't very big right now, only about 5 inches. But on the bright side in another 3 weeks 3 days I will be exactly halfway done my pregnancy. How crazy is that. From what I can remember with Camrons pregnancy the last 20 weeks went way faster than the first 20 weeks. Almost there. I do believe the last 2-3 weeks are incredibly painful in the "waiting dept" we will just have to see. June is a busy month maybe it will just fly by.

I got a gift in the mail the other day from Shawn's Aunty Barb. It's a pregnancy tracker book where I can record all the milestones and belly pictures and dr. appointments etc. I have all the dates filled out so far. Now I just need to make sure I keep it in my purse at all my dr. appointments.

That's all I have for today. If I keep typing I will bore everyone to death and then when Shawn gets home from work I wont be able to talk his ear off for an hour.
