Oh how the days fly by! I have started my new position as academic advisor and it is amazing! We got the apartment we applied for which is also AMAZING! We move in July! I am sure I will be tons of help at 6 months pregnant ;). Everything seems to be going good. Lots of stress about money. I have this great job for the summer but instead of saving the extra money or paying off bills we have to save it so I can take a few months off, since Oregon does not have any sort of post-maternity options for women or their spouses... lovely... don't get me started. I had another midwife appointment today. I love OHSU, the midwives I have met have been so fabulous! Heard Bebe's heartbeat again, a strong 150 beats per minute. We also scheduled our remaining appointments up until month 8! INCLUDING the anatomy ultrasound which will be on May 9th. Initially I was going to do a gender reveal party, I think I will still do it but we are going to find out the gender during the ultrasound. Being able to find out during the appointment and then having to wait would drive me crazy. But it will be tons of fun to see everyone else's reactions! I will be starting group midwife appointments in July. I am very much looking forward to that! We will also be doing a baby prep class and a water birth class this summer. BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!
I have been feeling pretty nostalgic lately. Missing how things used to be... not necessarily before I was pregnant just what happened in the past. Today I looked at my transcripts from college and saw all of the classes I took and seriously enjoyed. I love learning. I am pretty disappointed so far with what I have learned as a graduate student. I feel as though I am paying quadruple the price for less actual education. It is so hard to know what you want to do and disagree with the avenues it takes to get there. I miss getting an education in a variety of subjects. Getting your bachelors is so fun. I also am missing my friends and family who are far away. I love the people I know in Portland, but I wish everyone I know and care about could be in the same place! Oh life... si dramatique.
Pardon the language=) A friend said this reminded her of me... I have to agree!

Good things are happening. I am very blessed and I am very happy! Life seems to be flying by. In 2 weeks I will be halfway done with my pregnancy! HURRAY!
As for names Jeff has definately been slacking;) He will say things that pop into his head and he doesnt even like lol. I am still very fond of Fallon for a girl and Lucas for a boy... I have been feeling Caspian a lot this last week as well. We'll see what Jeff comes up with soon=) He says he thinks it will be easier once we know the gender... we shall see!
