Full Term Winter Melon

I have never seen a winter melon, but imagine it's something like a watermelon because that's about what my stomach looks like! ha!  Adam is still kicking away, but his movements have become a little more painful as he does all he can do to stretch out with the tiny amount of space left in his cozy little temporary home.  And speaking of his home, I don't think I have blogged about his "nursery."  Since we are now living in my parent's rental house with only two bedrooms, little Adam is shacking up with us.  We put the pack-n-play in a corner of our bedroom, and will keep him in there until he gets a little bigger.  Maybe sometime before the end of the year we will move the crib in there.  The crib takes up so much more room than the pack-n-play, which is why we opted for the first couple of months while he is so little to just keep him in there.  Hopefully this will work out nicely.    

At this week's doctors appointment everything went great.  Found out I am slowly making some progress... 1 centimeter dilated and 50% effaced!  I'm also battling a sinus infection, but was able to get some antibiotics and cough medicine from the doctor, so hopefully in the next couple days I will start feeling much better.

In sadder news... we sold Johnathan's truck.  It's a little bittersweet because everyone in the family had a little attachment to that great truck, but it was the best financial decision for us.  I promised him one day we will get a new bad ass truck for him, and his sacrifice will be so worth it in the end!  This all came about after Johnathan has been reading Dave Ramsey's book, The Total Money Makeover.  The book has some great ideas about saving, spending, and getting out of debt.  We want to be good role models for our children, and make sure we make the best financial decisions for both ourselves and their futures.  We are on the right track to build our beautiful dream home, and I can't wait to start!
