6 weeks seems so far off!

Today I had another doctors appointment. As my doctor said "your last fully clothed appointment." Yippy (as I roll my eyes). Everything is going well. The baby looks good, I'm doing well. My blood pressure is doing just fine. That makes me happy. And I only gained 4 pounds this time around! That makes me even happier!!! I'm more excited about my upcoming appointments. I tend to start to dilate early, but nothing ever really happens. Although, I do have a lot of false labor. Which stinks, but at least it gets something done...some of the time. I'm just so done with this pregnancy. I don't remember having really bad heartburn with Jake or Zoe, but I have it bad with this one. Maybe it's because I'm getting so old. I hope that I start to feel better, but deep down I know that the only way I'm going to "feel better" is when I have this kid! Six more weeks (or less! Let's hope and pray for less) seems like forever.

On a happier note, Zoe turned 18 months today! Yay, she can go into nursery this Sunday!!! That makes Steve and I really happy. Jake is doing well in Sunbeams. He cries when we leave, but in a few minutes he's over it. They are both doing better during sacrament. And Jake is starting to close his eyes and fold his arms during prayer! It makes us happy to see our kids doing so well in church. Which makes us feel better. They aren't a lost cause after a spell inactivity. 

Steve is sick right now. Poor guy. He is so sad and pathetic when he's sick. It's just a cold, I hope he gets better soon. It's not good to have a sick husband when there is a new baby in the house. But other than being sick, he is doing well in school. He's keeping busy with homework and Beta Alpha Psi. VITA is starting up soon, so if you need help with your taxes, go to VITA. Steve and another officer are in charge of VITA this year. He's going to be very busy starting this Saturday until early April.

So the Richins are all doing well. The kids are healthy (that's a first in our home for a while), Steve is doing well, and I'm just really pregnant and ready to have this baby! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

thanks for the update on the weather.... we'll be sure to keep our eyes open. we sure don't want to get stuck out there in anything ugly. this will be the first time that marco has seen more than a light dusting of snow... i'm not sure he realizes that it can sometimes be really scary!!

We had VITA do our taxes once and it was a huge blessing. Thankfully ours are easy now and Danny can just do them. 6 weeks will pass before you know it!!!

6 weeks goes by so fast! The important thing is that you're healthy! Although I do recall being rather uncomfy for the last few weeks...
