Well, I've had a couple of productive days this week (productive for me, at least). I finished our taxes, made a card and necklace for my mother-in-law for her birthday, and kept things in our apartment fairly neat. There's been other minor stuff thrown in there as well, but those are the major things that have happened. Tomorrow should be a full day too, as Lois (my mother-in-law) will be coming to town tomorrow and she's bringing us some baby stuff from a lady in her ward (yay for getting hand-me-downs of sorts).
Last night Tucker started throwing up... a lot. Poor guy barely ever gets sick, and the time that he does it's the stomach flu. There's not much I can really do to take care of him, but I got up with him pretty much every hour last night when he was throwing up. And thinking about it this morning, I decided that the schedule we kept last night will probably be similar to what it will be like once Baby comes, at least for me. I'm surprisingly not tired today, but that might still change. Hopefully I won't catch what Tucker's got.
My parents also told us this week that they'll buy a carseat for us. This is really awesome of them cause now I don't really think we'll have any large purchases to make. Originally we were just going to use the carseat that our nephew Finn has been using (cause he'll be upgrading soon), but as I thought about it more, I realized we would just have to buy a carseat sometime towards the end of this year anyways since we'll probably be moving away from NC and I'm pretty sure Katie would want her carseat back for their next kid, whenever they have their next. So I was just going to buy one, but now I don't have to. Yay! We still might need to buy a crib, but that's still up in the air kind of. Anyways, this is the carseat that me and my mom picked out:
I'm a big fan of "gender neutral" things, at least when it comes to carseats/strollers/etc so that we can reuse stuff for future little Smiths.
But yeah, I think that's it for this post. Can't really think of anything else to add right now. Maybe I'll post some pics of what Lois brings us tomorrow later this week.

Finally...
We finally got a letter from Medicaid yesterday telling us that we are approved for pregnancy coverage!! Best news I've had in a really long time. It's definitely lifted a major weight and so now I can move on to worrying about much more minor things. But yeah, after one rejection, one fairly major breakdown on my part, reapplying, and a lot of nervous waiting, we found out everything will be taken care of and Baby will be (pretty much) paid for... at least until she gets here that is.

24 Weeks
Had a doctor's appointment today, and everything's looking good. Only new development is my back hurting fairly constantly. Showers and baths seem to be helping with that though, so I'm dealing with it I guess.
This is me at 24 weeks. I've decided I have a huge butt.
This is Annabelle, who is the baby doll that I had when I was a baby. Found her the other day, and now she's going to be Baby's baby doll. I'm kind of excited about this.
