I'm so excited, and Ian's sick of hearing me say it. The last big thing on our baby acquisition list was a car seat. We've still got 3 months so I haven't been to pressured to get one, but I knew that when we went to the car seat store it would be hard to find one light and comfortable enough for me to carry around. I heard there was all different kinds so it would be hard for me to pick one out.
My neighbor had a yard sale yesterday and I decided to go check it out to see if they had one and what do you know? She did! Her little girl is about a year old now so she's too big for it. It's in new condition and comes with all the right attachments! AND she only wanted $25 for it! Now Ian doesn't have to put up with my dithering (his word) over what kind to get, and I don't have to stress about having one if we have an early unplanned birth! And it wasn't a ton of money. I'm so excited to have that out of the way!
The baby is very active and I think he's started developing the hiccups. I was afraid he was having seizures or something with the regular twitching feeling but other mom's say hiccups feel that way. My tummy now sticks out farther than anything else so there's no hiding anymore. Not that I was.
A week ago Friday my early morning shot didn't stop bleeding until 10pm that night. That was a little concerning and none to good for the underclothing! I went through 3 bandaids. The last of which I had to have a temple worker help me put on so I didn't get blood on my temple clothes! Poor lady, I bet she didn't think she'd be doing that that day. I've learned that icing the spot helps! Since I used 3 band aids that day AND I'm allergic to the band aids I've had an itchy rash for over a week now. You can still see the marks where the band aids were.
My job has been extremely stressful this last month and doesn't look like it will improve in the near future. The General Relief Society broadcast was great this weekend to remind me that only The Lord and His Plan matters, and he will never forsake. I need to remember that while I'm AT work and keep perspective. I am SO looking forward to being a stay at home mom. Sooner than later.

I don't know why- but having a car seat definetly makes you feel a little calmer. I guess the idea that you have something to safely bring the baby home in! And 25 bucks- you can't beat that.
