Busy at work

My surgery went well and my finger seems to be healing good. I just hope my nail goes back straight. Work has been so busy lately. Nice to have work to do because it makes the day go by faster but at the same time it's getting harder and harder to work long hours. I get tired faster. Jerome's work is always busy and frustrating for him at the same time. Dad and Lisa were here visiting yesterday, it was so good to see them. They have been on the road traveling since the beginning of July visiting many places out west. They have been here since last weekend and they are watching Andrew for Stacey and Kelly since they don't have daycare these last two days of August. They are enjoying the time with Andrew and can't wait for our baby to make his or her entrance.

Tomorrow will be our 2ND wedding anniversary, so hard to believe it's been two years since our wedding. A week from tomorrow we have our first ultrasound and hopefully we will be able to find out the sex of the baby. Jerome is so excited, it's so wonderful to see the excitement in his face when he talks about our baby.

I have been feeling better lately which is nice. I have started to feel little flutters in my belly the last few days. It's a weird feeling and I think it's the baby but I'm not sure.

Going in for surgery

Tomorrow I'm going in for a 3rd surgery on my finger. Hopefully this is the last surgery and it can finally heal all the way. I'm nervous about it because I can't eat anything after 6:30am and the only thing that keeps me from throwing up is eating frequently throughout the day. I'm sure the surgery itself will go fine. My surgery is scheduled for 12:30pm at St. Joe's Hospital in Ypsilanti, MI.

I went in for my first check-up with my new baby doctor last Friday. He seems really nice. I have an my first ultrasound is September 2, 2008 at 8:40am. We will find out the sex of the baby. Jerome is so excited!!!!

Life in an apartment

Since we closed on our house we have started to settle into our apartment in Belleville, Michigan. I hated to sell our house but we will be ok. Our goal now is to plan for our baby and hopefully I can enjoy the rest of my pregnancy!! Jerome is really close to his job and I'm about 20 minutes away, we are both enjoying the shorter drive which = less money spent on gas. Harley still isn't quite sure what to do, he wanders around a lot but he will get used to the apartment. I am now 16 almost 17 weeks and feeling better. Work is so busy lately and it's been hard to balance work and taking care of my health. I have to learn not to work so much for the remainder of my pregnancy because I'm going to get too worn down. It's been difficult to adjust to the many different aspects of pregnancy. I have not felt anything really but I'm sure that will be coming soon. I'm still losing weight but my doctor is keeping a good eye on me.

I have scheduled my first appointment with my new doctor for August 8, 2009. Hopefully then I will be able to schedule the ultrasound sometime the end of August. I have a scheduled surgery on my pinkie finger for August 13, 2008. I will not be put under because I'm pregnant so they will be numbing the finger and the area around it. They will have to cut the top of the finger to get to the wire that is around the bone and then cut in a few places. Since he has to use wire cutters I have to go to the hospital for this. I'm not looking forward to this because I remember the pain I was in after the 1st and 2nd surgery and since I can't take pain medication it probably won't be fun.
