Bob and Riley had to sneak in the pic with mama. 
January 13th- January 19th -
So January 14th- This was the first time Jeremy has been away from me and the baby. He had to take a work trip to Washington DC. He left at 4:30 in the morning and didn't get home until 1:00 in the morning on the 15th. It was a long day for him, but well worth it. He said there was alot of Obama stuff everywhere and asked me if I wanted him to purchase anything and I quickly said "No". However looking back we probably could have made some money selling it here, but why deal with the hassle. Anyway, I made sure to keep the dogs out and Riley and Bob slept on the bed with me until Jeremy got home and then woke all of us up.
So Jeremy has become the official back rubber. He is getting used to it every night it seems like. He also helps me put my boots on in the morning and gets me ice cream now at night too. I am addicted to Boonie Doons vanilla ice cream at night time and Jeremy makes the perfect scoops.
This week was another busy week for work and I did meet the work deadlines so once the 15th came it was time to relax a bit. We did have alot of bad weather this week and the temperatures reaching record lows... something that we might not see for the rest of our lifetime. Needless to say, on Jan 16th I stayed home and worked from home today because the temperature was -19 degrees. I felt it was not necessary to be out in the weather and risk getting sick or falling if I really didn't need to. I had my deadlines at work met in the office and I am logged in for working from home so I am meeting my work responsibilities from the comfort and safety of my own home!
However funny story while I was at home today on Friday the 16th. So I had Jeremy bring down the laundry so I could do it today instead of over the weekend and get started on that. Well as I was eating breakfast I heard the washing machine make a weird noise and went into the laundry room. Yep... there was water on the floor. I stopped the washing machine and called Jeremy (who had taken my Jeep and just left about 15 minutes ago for work). I told him "there was water everywhere and didn't know what to do".... so needless to say I made it sound like the laundry room was flooded. So I turned off the washer, moved stuff that I could out of the laundry room and then put towels down to soak up the water on the floor. Jeremy got home and he was like you made it sound like it was really flooded. I think it was because the pipes might have been frozen because of the temperatures. So Jeremy looked where it might have been coming from and thinks from underneath the washer. All in all, I was able to finish my load and no more water was coming out. Maybe it just needed to be "warmed up". Thank goodness I was home to catch this!
So Saturday the 17th, my parents came over and we went out to dinner and just hung out for a bit. Both my parents were able to feel the baby move. They just love touching the belly and I love it too!
Sunday the 18th- Jeremy's mom came over and she got to see the nursery furniture and then also feel the baby move for the first time. After her visit, we went to see my Dzie Dzie at the nursing home and he still tells me twin girls. I told him so far there is only one in there. We will have to see if he is right on the sex in 3 months or so. I can't believe its 2/3 of the way done now. and Jeremy and I still can't figure out a name. I think we are going to take Andrea's suggestion and just take a few names to the hospital and once the baby is born, see what name fits the little one. I know that my parents thought I would be a different name but then once they saw me they changed my name. It's funny how things work!
So the baby is continuing to move more and more at night time and still not that much during the day. Today when I was taking a bath, I just watched my belly as the baby moved across my belly. It's a really neat experience and so amazing to me. When the baby hasn't moved in awhile, I still can't figure out where he/she is at, but I am sure that will come in time as the baby grows. Jeremy is talking to the belly and the baby is responding to his voice most of the time. They say now is when the baby might be able to hear not only my voice but others. So we are trying to talk more and more to the belly and as Jeremy calls it... "He is waking up the baby."
I am still able to wear my wedding ring and I am hoping that I don't swell too much towards the end of pregnancy! However, I think the bath days are numbered as its hard for me to do those "sit-ups" in the tub.
So I have to say that when doing our registry for some of the main items, I received a book called Baby Bargains.... I totally recommend this book because it is very useful when doing shopping for the nursery to breast pumps to strollers to high chairs, etc. It has all these rankings by product and tells you why they are ranking them. Since we are going to be first time parents it gives us insight to questions to consider and what to look for in a product and use of the product. I can't imagine not doing the research on products that you would purchase for your baby. I guess that Jeremy and I are more into the research of products and also want the best for our little one.
