I know, I know.  I haven't been posting.  I try to wait until I have some pictures, but then I never have any good pictures so I don't want to post.

A lot has been going on!  I'm going today to close on the condo.  I changed from my OB practice to a midwife practice (they have OBs too, but you only see them if necessary).  The Bombshells took me out for a baby brunch/mini shower, and gave me lots of adorable fun stuff!  Dean and I were both sick last week and are now just turning the corner.

Cherry Blossom Bombshell Baby Brunch!

I was having TERRIBLE heartburn for a few weeks there, but now it's basically totally gone.  I think that was the baby dropping.  My belly is really low.

Aaaanyway, I am really excited that I have switched to the midwife practice.  They are so fabulous so far.  I feel much more supported.  The OB practice I was with, while I'm sure they are fine doctors, just didn't seem to care much about what my preferences were.  It's not that my preferences weren't safe, or that I was totally rigid about them -- they just didn't seem interested in anything other than how they always do it.  They even kind of sneered at me about it.  That's not who I want in the delivery room, y'know?  So I switched and I had my first midwife appointment and I am so much happier.  Baby is happy too!  She has been very kicky lately.

In just about 5 minutes, I'm leaving to close on my condo.  Dean and I cleaned all the last bits out of it this weekend.  I will really miss it.  I SUPER loved that place, and had a lot of great memories there.  I first told Dean I loved him there!  Awwww.  It was a great condo, and I will miss it.  I am also pretty glad that we won't have to worry about the mortgage on it while I'm on maternity leave.

Bye, condo! (sorry it's fuzzy)

Anyway that has to be all for now, since I need to run to the condo closing.  I hope I'll have more and better updates soon!
