21 weeks

Nothing new to report here.  I finally got the ultrasound report copy from the retired doctor (not my OB).   I think what I have is marginal placenta previa, so I'm not too worried.  It's not covering up anything, it's just RIGHT THERE.   So, no big deal for now.   If it becomes a big deal, then it is.   :)

I did end up buying a few things for Lily.   I didn't go crazy or anything.   Plus, I'm not really sure what I'm going to need vs. not need.   I had a summer baby the first time.   This trying to think about winter in the middle of August confuses and scares me.   :)  But, I went through Ryan's old baby clothes and found stuff that I thought would work for her in the long run, pulled out stuff that I don't care about keeping and am saving the rest.   I'm undecided if I will ever have more or not.   I just don't know if I want to do this again.  

I don't know if it's being pregnant with a girl or being pregnant when over 30.   I just feel like this was much easier at age 28/29 than 31/32.  I certainly don't think of myself as being 31, but the reality is that I AM.   So, I'm just not sure about doing it again or not.   It just seems very final to say -- DONE!

Of course, after this one, we have a lot of monetary work to do to get back to even.   We are in a much better place than we were with Ryan, but it will take work still.   I would think that by 2014, we should be down to very little revolving debt and left with just the mortgage and the student loans.   Minimal revolving debt is what I am going for now.

We did put Ryan into a big boy bed and he really loves it -- this is MUCH more successful than last year.   Huzzah!   (I'm from the 1800's now).  We got my old day bed from my mom and dad and an old dresser of theirs, which has drawers and shelves for storage and totally rocks.   I haven't even filled it with everything yet.   I'm trying to decide what to do with it.   It's almost too much.   :)  

But, the crib went into the back room along with anything I'm holding onto for Lily.   No more desk back there.   The filing cabinet went upstairs and the desk is sitting by the bay window, next to the dishwasher, which I actually like.  I have to clean it out and organize it, so I can use it for work, but it's really nice being there.   Our tiny little house isn't too bad -- everything just has to be cozy.   And we still have a guest bed upstairs, which is really awesome as far as I'm concerned.   That's bedroom #4.  

As soon as things get cleaned up a lot more, I will post pics of the new arrangements -- it will probably be on facebook, for sure.   :)
