weeks 16-18

Well, I was really stressed out about April, but I made it through - but w/out time to blog much!

Week 16 - We went to Phoenix to visit Melissa and her family :)

Week 17 - I competed in Swing Dance America. I took 2nd place in the newcomer division! I didn't social dance much, I left successful.
Dan did a lot of progress on the baby's room too - he finished caulking the walls and pulled out the carpet

Week 18 - Dan, mom, and I went to a just between friends baby and maternity resale event. I was expecting the worse but it actually ended up being really great - and a first hit of reality of how quickly that stuff adds up!

We bough a bassinet, some sort of table top vibrating seat thing (Sarah said we HAD to have one), a breast pump (just need to buy about $40 worth of stuff), 2 baby carriers, a pack of receiving blanks, and a pair of froggy slippers :). It all cost about $200 - which is a lot of money, but if we went the store, the breast pump alone would have been more than that....yikes.

I'm still in my "normal clothes" and my weight has been about the same. However, my cravings have increased...just in general...for eating. I can't seem to eat enough. I'm not sure if I should indulge in the extra calories b/c maybe I need them or should I continue to be careful.
