8 month check up

Today was a good day....we went in to the Dr.'s to get our check up and I asked if there was any chance we could get an ultrasound so I could have pictures for the photo album. He had the time so he went ahead and did it. We found out she's head down/face down (the way she should be when she's delivered) and that the most likely has knee caps...from what he could tell. He's not very accustom to looking for knee caps, but from what he could tell, she doesn't have Nail Patella Syndrome like me, so that's good. We didn't get any good ultrasound pictures because she has her face buried in my back. My Doc said that I'm measuring normal and that everything is looking good. My favorite part of the ultrasound was seeing her tiny little hand clench and then relax....so cute! We're going to try another ultrasound in 2 weeks and hopefully she'll be more cooperative. :) She's still active as can be and keeps me up at night so my Dr. told me to take unisom (a sleeping pill) every night since I need my rest now before she arrives. If i don't take a unisom, I just don't get any sleep. I guess she's just preparing me for when she gets here! :)

As for Bryce and I, I'm still working about 5 hours a day and Bryce is still going to school and work and working on his thesis. he'll be Defending his thesis in mid May and finals are at the end of April, so he's going to have a very busy couple of months. We have been very blessed and I'm giving all the credit to paying tithing. :) Although I've cut my hours back, I haven't had any less appointments...they're just spread out throughout the week so I don't have to work 8-10 hour days. We've been stressed since I'm the main money maker and I won't be working for the 2 months after having Macie, but I'm still making enough now that I think we'll be just fine and not have to use very much of the school loan. Tithing is always kinda hard to pay when it's a big chunk of money, but I'd be more scared to not pay it. :) I know that God takes care of us when we do our part.
