BABY UPDATE! HOORAY!!!

So I went to my doctor on Tuesday for my regular 2 week check up. I'm measuring perfect on my belly which is good I guess. Reegan was exercising right before we listened to her heartbeat so it was fast. It was really funny to watch my belly move all over. She was stretching both her arms ( or legs) I'm not sure which but she would stretch them both out to the side at once. So you would see two bulges on either side of my belly. Then she would move to one side, and make my belly lopsided, then she would move to the opposite side and then she would start her stretching all over again and repeat the cycle. She did that for about 10 mins. She is so active I can't belive it. The good thing, which I love, is that all day she moves around but when I'm ready to go to bed, so is she. I love that she doesn't keep me up all night long by moving around. Hopefully this is a foreshadowing of our future nights :) Well, I get to go in for an ultrasound it 2 weeks. I really want to get a 3d picture of her face. Now that she has more fat on her cheeks it should really give us an idea of what she will look like when she's born. At the appointment they are going to measure her and give us a general idea of how big ( or small ) she is. Last time I went she was measuring about 3-4 days small which put her in the 35 percentile for size. Hopefully she has gotten bigger. After that ultrasound I have to start going every week to get one because of my high blood pressure they want to make sure that Reegan doesn't go into distress. If that happens then I would have to go in for an emergency c-section. Up to this point my blood pressure has been good but my doctor said now is the time we have to really watch it becuase it could spike rapidly. I'm so nervous about this, hopefully everything turns out ok.

On a side note, our crib came in a month earlier than they said it would. Nick went and picked it up yesterday so now we get to put it together. I'm so excited because everything if finally coming together. All we have left to do is go pick up the bassinet from my mom and dad's house. I'm so happy that my dad built Reegan a bassinet. He is so talented when it comes to woodworking and things like that. According to my mom it's a little different than the one he built for Kaylie. I just can't wait to see it. Nick is getting so excited now that the due date is fastly approching. He always tells Sadie ( our girl dog ) that she is his little girl for the next month until our little girl gets here. I know he will make the best dad, now if I can only get him to hold newborns! He is deathly afraid to hold them. He thinks he will break them.

Also, I had a job interview for a position up in Collections. I have been trying to move up there for about 6 months or more but both previous times I applied I never got an interview. Well on Thursday I had a lady from HR email me and asked me to call her. Well I did right away and she asked if I was still interested in the position upstairs, I told her absolutly. ( That was my 3rd time applying for the position). Well, we made an appointment for me to come up and interview that afternoon with her and to take a survey that monitors your work ethic and things like that. Well, I took the survey and then had some questions with HR and she asked me back for a second interview that will be with a supervisor from Collections. I'm so excited, not only becuase if I ever leave Toyota I will have the collections experience but it also pays more! I always get so nervous right before interviews but I got some help from my supervisor and from my old supervisor from Collections, when I was a temp. She has been wanting me to come back upstairs to work for so long, and it seems like now I might get the chance. Everyone wish me luck! I think that's about it for now, until next time!
