10/18: ((Pregnancy seems to be agreeing with me...I am about 4 months along now and the morning sickness is over!!))
This is so exciting!! For the past two or three days, I have actually felt my little 4 month along baby move! It is sometimes hard to tell if it is that or gas (ha ha!), but most of the time that is what it is. It never lasts for long and its not kicking or anything, but at least I can finally tell I am not alone. I'll go back to the doctor in a few days and see how much weight I've gained. I know I've put on at least 5 lbs because now I have quite a tummy! That is another thing I am having to get used to- my expanding figure. Before I never had uch of a stomach and was really proud of it. I loved wearing jeans that 'fit' and tucking my shirts in, but not now. If I did, all you'd see was one huge tummy! Actually, I kind of enjoy being able to put on a few pounds without feeling guilty.
Also, I am not worried about money anymore. Kyle and his dad have landed a contracting job with the government. It is for a 1-year trial period. if that works out, they get a 5 year contract. That finally means some steady money!! The doctor bills will be paid without a struggle now! I guess I'm really in a good mood this week!!
10/25: ((Making plans and doing laundry...))
More good new!! Kyle and I were finally able to buy a washer and dryer! The washer is used, probably 2-3 years old and cost $100. The dryer, though, has only been used 5 or 6 times and was only $200!! Kyle priced the same new and it was almost $400! We paid $200 down on the pair and will pay the other $100 within 30 days. It's strange though. Before I got my washer and dryer and dishwasher, my house and kitchen was a lot cleaner! Now I have dishes stacked up for 2 miles!!
Kyle and I have been talking about going to visit my grandmother in Missouri next summer. By then the baby will be here and they will get to see it. I'm the oldest grand child so this is their first great grandchild. When I mentioned going to my mom and dad, they said that they were going around Christmas. They also said that if we wanted to, we could go then too and follow them. Those will be cheap vacations since we only pay for gas and meals up there and back. I think Kyle will really like my grandparents. They are real country people. They live on a ranch of about 250 acres on a mountain. They have chickens, ducks, cows, bees and buffalo! I haven't been there in about 4 summers, and I would really like to see a real live buffalo. At Christmas, it almost always snows and the hills are beautiful!! They also have a creek running through the back of their land which has caves along side it (int he hills on either side of it). The creek is deep enough to canoe on sometimes, but the beavers like to dam it up a lot. We used to swim in it when I was younger. I really can't wait!It is so cozy there. I also love the trip up there. It takes about 10 hours to get there through nothing but mountains. I hope the Mustang (or 'The Horse" as Kyle calls it!) will make it!! I like stopping at the McDonalds in Branson about 11 pm or so and getting hot cherry pies and Cokes. I wish we could leave a little sooner! I also wish that the baby would already be here by the time we do go at Christmas! Then again, grandma would like to see me all fat and expecting!
