I am now 25 weeks! Things are going great! We had our follow up ultra sound on Feb 18th since we were not able to see everything during the first ultra sound. Jaxon is doing great and they were able to see everything this time which put our minds at ease! I am actually home from work today and I stayed home yesterday because I have had a horrible cold!!! It is very true what they say that when you are pregnant it takes A LOT longer to get better! This is the worst cold I have ever had! I called the doctor to find out what I could take and when I was describing my symptoms she told me I have the beginning stages of pneumonia and she called in an antibiotic so I won't get it - and that has been helping a lot - but its very frustrating because I am not getting better! But I'm sure it will pass soon! Last Saturday my mom and I went to USA baby because they were having a one day sale and we bought the crib for Jaxon! I was so excited! We got a great deal and I feel good about having a few things checked off the long list of things we need haha.
Some other great news is that my cute little brother Landon got his mission call on Wednesday March 4th! He is going to Independence Missouri and he leaves on May 6th! I am sad that he won't be here to see Jaxon be born, but it will be good for him to leave, he has been ready for a while now so it will be great and I am so excited and proud of him! We have so much going on in the next few months and I just feel like the rest of my pregnancy is going to fly by - I can't believe I am already 25 weeks! I feel so unprepared! I mean I know I still have my showers coming up an I'll get a lot of stuff from that and I know I need to wait until after those to go shopping and getting the rest of what I need, but I just feel like I need to get it all right now! Haha - someone told me it was the "nesting" stage - not really sure what that means, but I am just getting antsy and I want to get it all done right now haha. I have made a list of everything we need and Dan and I are currently looking into the different brands of strollers and car seats and all of that – so here is my question… to you who are moms – WHAT BRANDS ARE THE BEST AND WHAT IS A MUST HAVE AND WHAT CAN YOU DO WITHOUT? Any advice is much appreciated!
