Daniel and I were talking last night about Mother's Day. I asked if I get to celebrate it this year or if I have to wait until next year. We did determine that I can celebrate this year. The funny thing is, Daniel and I don't really celebrate holidays like most people. We don't do birthday presents or Christmas presents with each other. It's not that we don't love each other enough to give presents, it's more that we would rather get things throughout the year that we want/need, for no reason at all. It works for us.
So, with Mother's Day, it's no different. I don't expect anything, especially from Daniel. After all, why would Daniel get me anything for Mother's Day? I'm not his mother.
I wonder how many mom's can agree with me on this?

16 Weeks!
I had my 16 week check-up today and everything looks good. My blood pressure had been a bit high at my 12 week check-up, but today it was normal. Phew! (I still think it was high at my 12 week because I was so excited to hear that heartbeat for the first time!)
As the doctor was examining my belly, she said, "Someone's growing nicely in here". That is just so nice to hear. Not that I thought anything was wrong, but it's so nice to hear the doctor say everything's good. She put the doppler on my belly and we heard the heartbeat within seconds, which was a relief, too. At my 12 week, she couldn't hear the heartbeat with the doppler and that's why we had the ultrasound. Hearing that quick little sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" is just amazing.
It's so hard to believe that by my next appointment, I'll be half way through my pregnancy. It honestly feels like I just peed on the stick a few weeks ago!!!
Daniel and I ordered the crib last week. It is back ordered, but it will be here by the end of May. We also decided to start buying a pack of diapers with each paycheck to help soften the blow once the baby gets here. Daniel is appalled at the price of diapers. I am too, but I knew they were spendy. He asked if we could have the baby potty trained by 6 months!!! Nice thought, but I just don't think that will happen!
So, everything is good. What a great way to start a weekend! Now, if I can just get my hands on some Mexican food sometime this weekend, I'll be happy! Doesn't Mexican food sound good!?!?! :)
