Its been forever!!

20 weeks

So I am way behind on blogging…opps. Things have been very busy around here. We had our big anatomy ultrasound done almost a month ago. Baby looked great and was growing well. My placenta is low so I will have another ultrasound next month to make sure that it moves up instead of down. I’m not too worried about it, typically it will move up but it will be nice to see my lil peanut again. This pregnancy I am so much more relaxed. I have alot of contractions and sometimes they are very regular but I had the same thing with Zahra and was always so worried I was going to go into preterm labor. This time around I now know what the real ones feel like and know that there isn’t anything to worry about. Luckily, at the 20 week mark I started feeling so much better and 21 weeks (where I am now) is even better- YAY!!!! Of course there is always something and now I am having some coccyx pain but I had that with Zahra too but I really am feeling a million times better  very rarely gag or throw up and my exhaustion has improved too. Its a good thing because we move in about 7 weeks!!

Zahra and I just got back from Idaho on Monday. We spent almost 3 weeks out there house hunting. We had success and found a beautiful home to live in! Now for all the fun stuff (sarcasm)….lenders, appraisal, home inspections, ect….   

 

Our favorite things about the house is that it is a single level custom home, has a great ‘Great Room’, its so cozy and fresh, its in a great neighborhood and is on a culdesac, has a big backyard, has just the right amount of carpet and wood floors, isn’t too big. I can’t wait to move in to it.  Here is the virtual tour http://tours.tourfactory.com/tours/tour.asp?t=730726 

We had a wonderful time in Idaho. Spent alot of time with family. Met with a friend of a friend, who will hopefully be a new friend when I move out there. Got 2 job offers in Labor & Delivery!!! Overall, it was a very successful trip. Anil met me out there for about 4 days at the end or our trip so we could decide on a house. I probably looked at about 100 houses before he came and narrowed it down to 10. We both picked this one was our #1 choice.

 Unfortunately, I left my cameras scd card in my computer at home so I didn’t get any pictures except a couple at the end of the trip when Anil came. Zahra had so much fun with her cousin, Blake. They went on a fun Easter egg train ride, did an egg scrabble at the Boise Zoo. Went to the park a couple time and just had alot of around the house time playing with cars when I was out with the realtor.  I am really excited for her to grow up around her Aunties, nephews, and Oma of course too! I must say her favorite person to talk about since we have been back has been her Uncle ‘Monty’ and Blake. She will just randomly fold her hands close her eyes and start praying for both of them. So cute.

Zahra has been talking about a storm lately, saying new words everyday. At Oma’s she got really good at saying ‘thank you’ (without being told) and ‘sorry’ for all the times she made Blake sad. She is so much fun these days and can be such a goof and make me laugh and smile all the time. Her personality is a fun loving, sweet, dramatic and sometime crazy little girl. I love her so much!!
