So I missed last weeks update and I'm late on this weeks...terrible terrible.
I can't think of a whole lot that's happened. The baby is moving all the time now. I love it :) Bliss has felt it move a few more times. The other night we were trying to find the baby's heartbeat and as soon as Bliss put the doppler thing on my belly, the baby started kicking at it. We've never been able to find it so I'm guessing the baby just doesn't want us to.
We got the fabric that we wanted for the baby's room. I love it. The only problem is that it doesn't look good with the walls so now we have to paint! We were trying our best to avoid that. Oh well. One room is nothing compared to what we did when we bought the house.
Last fall, Mom and Jeff came up and we pressure washed the rail in front of my house. Last weekend we finally started to paint it. So I'm a little slow. Its going to look SO much better when its done!
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed about everything that I want/need done before the baby gets here. The list is 5 miles long and I only have enough weekends left to do 3 miles of work...if that much. Most of it has nothing to do with the baby, just stuff that I've wanted down and the baby makes a great dead line.
I have a doctors appt tomorrow so I'll get to hear the little heartbeat again :)

Week 22
22 weeks!? Can you believe it? Unfortunatally, nothing new has happend this week. I'm not sleeping all that great but I got a body pillow a few weeks ago that is helping some. Bliss doens't like it because it takes up most of the bed...too bad for him :)
I found fabric for the baby's room - for real this time. Its polka dots and I love it! I'm excited to go to Mom's house in a few weeks to get the crib so we can start to put it all together.
WAIT! Something did happen!!! Bliss felt the baby move! He had put his hand on my belly every once in awhile but only for like 30 seconds. He was a little impatient with the whole thing and figured he'd feel it when he felt it. Anyway, one night I was laying in bed and the baby was moving quite a bit. Bliss put his hand on my belly and of course the baby stopped. Bliss was a little more patient this time and left it there for a minute. Then my baby kicked him! Bliss' eyes got huge and he gasped! It was great!
Here is a pic of me from earlier today. 22 weeks and 1 day. Looks like my belly is a little bigger than the last pic. Bliss says he can tell...I can't. Its just big.

My Grammie
It has taken me awhile to write about this. Its just been a little rough for me.
My grandmother on my mom's side passed away 4/22, early in the morning. Family was with her the whole day before and my aunt Elaine was with her at the time. She had a rough past few months health-wise and emotionally. I didn't write about it before but my aunt Susan died unexpectedly back in December. I can only imagine how hard that was on my grandmother.
I'm so happy that I got to visit with her when I went up to visit in January. Christina and I visited with her two times while I was there, then because I'm an idiot and messed up on my ticket, I went back to see her with my mother before I left. She was so happy when I told her that Bliss and I were going to have a baby. It would have been her 6th great grandchild by blood and 8th including by marriage. She had 10 children and 14 grand children. Its crazy to think about how from two people that feel in love, in just 50 some odd years, 30 new lives have been made!
She was SO knowledgeable. She could talk to you about any subject, in depth. I used to call her when writing papers to get more information. She read ALL the time. Books upon books. For awhile she lived right next to the library so she was right in heaven there. Also, she had done tons of research on our family's past and had compiled so much information about our genealogy. It was always interesting to talk to her about our past and what kinds of crazies we're related to.
I wasn't able to go up for her memorial service. I really wish I could have, but it just didn't work out. I know Grammie would understand. The visits that I had with her when I was up there were good visits and going up there for the service wouldn't have changed anything.
She is going to be missed by a lot of people that loved her tons. She lived a long, full life and I hope that my life will as full of love as hers was.
