Baby and Job update and some pictures :-)

Ok. I'm going to start posting again, I promise! SO first of all... we moved into our new apartment a couple months ago! It's nice having all our stuff out of storage and in our own place (i'll post pictures this week!). But I definately don't want to live an apartment for forever! Our upstairs neighbors are rediculously loud and are constantly waking me up in the middle of the night. But, for now, it's working for us and we're just getting everything ready for Baby Ali :-)

 

Alex is no longer working at Schweitzer. He's now working for the school district as a bus mechanic. Right now his schedule is 5am to 1:30pm (he wakes up at 4am!) but when school starts it will change to like 7-4-ish. I'm going to have to get a part time job a few months after Ali is born to help out with bills, which is totally fine with me. I've always wanted to be a stay at home mom but more importantly i've never wanted to struggle financially. So working a few days a week to get caught up will help alot.

 

Now for the baby update. I'm about 27 weeks right now and I am constantly hearing that I don't even look pregnant. I HATE that. Because what? This big tummy just looks like fat? No. It's definitly my little girl in there. We went to the fair the other day and two different people look right at my stomach and then asked, "where's the baby?" me and Alex just looked at eachother and I said, "Right there!" (pointing to my tummy) I am small but its because Ali is so small. From the beginning she was only measuring in the 5% for her size and weight which was worrisome. We've had to go every month for ultrasonds to make sure she was growing right and everything was proportionate and so far so good! At the last ultrasound she was in the 6%! Which was a huge relief because my doctor said if she went belowe 5 we'd have to see a specialist at Deaconess. Dr. Woods also said that she will only be like 5 pounds tops at birth! She's gonna be tiny! :-) We are so excited to have a baby and really wish these next couple months would go by faster! We've started getting her room ready. Mom and I bought some material to make the curtains and the bedding and its super cute. We bought this dresser for $10 and repainted it and it looks awesome!
