Alright alright alright... I can't hold it in any longer! We unofficially, officially have a name for our little bean!!! Drum roll please!!!!! Little bean's name will (unofficially) be.... Lydia! Yay! :)
She has been quite the little ninja lately - kicking and punching like a wild woman! I love it! Papa got to feel and see he big thud of a kick the other night! He was so excited!
I'm still on a hunt for that perfect changing table at the perfect price. We want one that is both a changing table and a dresser. I have found several on craigslist, but always find something I don't quite like. So the search continues.
In more exciting news!!! DH got an engineering job!!!!! After almost a year and a half of searching he got a job offer at Control Products in Chanhassen! He is beyond excited! It is amazing how God works and provides just what we need at just the right time. We are so blessed! He is finishing off his scheduled days at Tires Plus and starts his new position next Monday!
I have to study for my radiology exam - I'll write more later :)

Freakin' Out
I am beginning to get nervous about all the essential baby items we don't have yet! I had it in my mind that once the holidays started, things would go so fast and then she would be here! There is Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and then she is here! Well, it all starts next week already! I went on Craig's list to look for a changing table/dresser. I feel like it is too costly to ask for on our registry, so I am trying to find one.
I am hoping the baby shower will be soon, just so I feel like I am prepared and have some time to get anything else we will need. I know I am probably being a little paranoid, but I can't help it. The bigger my belly gets, the more prepared I want to feel.
Also, I came across a couple other baby names I like :)
1. Illiana
2. Isabelle/Isabel

Apparently
Apparently, baby doesn't so much fancy Oreos. I enjoyed them while eating them, but that was short lived. Instant gut rot. Ick!
Apparently, baby is the size of a large mango. That is pretty big, in my opinion. It is hard to believe there is a human growing inside of me. Really!?!? Like, have you ever stopped and thought about that??? A human! In my belly!?!? Kind of crazy, if you ask me. Every time I think about it, it seems more and more strange. Isn't it supposed to work the other way. Aren't I supposed to get used to the idea? It is a weird feeling going my whole life with my body just mine. Being the only person I really have to worry about. Now, my body is part mine, part hers. And if my body fails, so does hers. Such a strange and amazing concept once I stop and think about it.
Apparently, I am supposed to be well into the "I can feel her kick" stage, and into the "I can see her kick" stage. Hmmmm. That doesn't appear to be the case. Have I felt her kick? Yes, I think I probably have. But, at the same time, they are so subtle and far between that it is easy for me to attribute it to something else. I want a swift couple of kicks. Good ones. Kicks that I couldn't possibly mistake for an arising burp. And I want to see it! I feel like much of this pregnancy has been a mix of wanting a noticeable baby belly, but at the same time, wanting everything else to STOP getting bigger. And at the same time wanting clothes to be comfortable again. And wanting to look normal. And be able to wear normal jeans. And waiting to be able to feel her and see her kick. And wanting my due date to be soon, but wanting as many days of ample amounts of sleep as possible. Pregnancy is so confusing!
The JBF (Just Between Friends) consignment sale was a hit! (I think I wrote about it earlier?). My mom came with and we picked up a few things :) I was so proud of myself for spending under $100!!! I got a highchair ($20), Baby Bjorn ($5), Boppy ($7), a warm body suit for baby ($4), 3 pairs of gap maternity pants ($15), 2 maternity sweaters ($8), and a Citizens of Humanity knee length jean skirt ($20). I am forgetting a few things, but you get the gist. It was a successful trip :)
Here is the highchair ($120 retail):
Also new news...Mike and I went to a breastfeeding class at Baby's R Us, learned a lot about what we need to do and decided to create a registry there. So we are now registered at Target and Baby's R Us.
I am still on a search for the perfect diaper bag and a changing table. And a small dresser. And a rug.
Here is a diaper bag I have my eye on :)
