The first of the baby shopping

This past weekend the SE Como neighborhood had its community garage sales. They put out a map with all of the different garage sales that are happening in the area. My friend Liz and I went to about 15 different garage sales, she was looking for furniture and I was more interested in baby items. We were both successful!

I found a highchair, there were actually two identical ones being sold by two different people, but I only bought one. If we find out we're having twins I'll kick myself... Anyway, its a really nice highchair, in great shape and it was a good deal. Then I bought a baby bath tub. I really wanted the yellow one that my parents used for all of us, but this one seems a little more practical, it has a drain in it and I think somehow it fits nicely into the sink. Maybe I'll still ask for my parents yellow one and then I can decide which one I like better. I only paid $0.50 for it so it wouldn't be a huge loss. My best bargain that I got this weekend was a crib mattress. We don't have a crib yet, but most cribs, ok probably all the cribs do not come with mattresses, so we would have to buy one seperate anyways. I just barely started looking at the price of mattress, and the lowest I found was $60. Well, the mattress I bought is in almost new condition (how much wear can a baby do to a mattress anyways) and I got it for the low low price of $2.00!! What a bargain.

Now we just need to figure out where we are going to store all of these things for the next 6 months.

New School Year

So far two days down, only 31/2 months to go.

Its been a long couple of days so far. We start at 8, which means I leave at 7, am up at 6 and I don't get done with lab until 4. I haven't had any homework yet so I've been able to come home and crash, which is good, because this baby is making me TIRED!

So basically the whole dental school knows. I'm not sure who is more excited, me or my friends. They are all just thrilled and can't wait for me to start showing. They want to start calling me Mamma, hot momma, pretty momma etc. I told them they could start when I no longer able to sit in the chairs and put the little desk thing across my lap. They are so funny.

I was going to post last week when we went to the doctors, but I never did so I will include that info now. Last week we went to the doctors for my first ob appt. We heard the baby's heart beat. It was kind of cool. I don't think Josh really believed that we are having a baby until he heard it. They took a lot of blood to run a lot of tests none of which I have heard any results from so I guess it means I'm not dying. Always a good thing.

I guess thats about it. No pictures yet. I'm pretty much just bloated all the time, which gives me a little stomach but its mostly just my distended bowels. Ohhh, the joys of being pregnant
Why didn't anyone every tell me about these things???
