21 weeks

Lots of good news to report. First, we got MaineCare! Biggest relief in awhile. And coverage started in June so it will cover the ultrasound and everything from then.

Second, we had our monthly checkup today. We were able to talk about the extra fluid in the kidney. We are very lucky. She has a mild case, which generally means it corrects itself. We will see on Sept. 19. Isabella didn't want us to hear the heartbeat at first, she was running away from the Doppler. The doctor had to "chase" her to get it. And when she did, it was perfect. :) Also, I'm going to say it again. Pregnancy is the best diet. I'm still 5 pounds less then when I started. It is still so weird. Now that I'm showing and knowing that I'm losing weight is a weird feeling. But I'm so excited. I was nervous I was going to gain 40 or more pounds from this and instead the opposite is happening. Love it! Now I just need to hope the rest of the pregnancy goes the same way, and then afterwards I can keep up with losing even more. Ideally I would love to get in better shape so when Isabella is running around I can be too.

Last weekend we spent some time with Gary's family. My mother-in-law were able to get out and do a little shopping. A couple of cute outfits and a mattress later, we're a stop closer to being ready. Gary and I found great wall decals to add to our exsisting decor. Let's just say the castle is even better. Pictures later. I can't wait to get the bench in there with all the fabrics and see it all together. I love it already, I can't imagine how good it's going to be. :)
