So I missed a week, my bad. But, according to the growth chart I follow, things are only changing drastically by month from now on, so we're good. Still all the same on the symptom front, with lots and lots of movement. A little bit of a new development is that I can't sleep and my nose is stuffed. Or maybe I can't sleep BECAUSE my nose is stuffed. I can't figure it out, but all I know is I just lay there for hours in the morning and then at night I'm not even that tired. I guess I'm preparing for having a baby keeping me up? Oh well.

In the financial realm, things are looking up! We've decided officially not to buy and also where we're going to rent. We're planning on staying at the same apartments we're at currently and just move up a bedroom size. They pay all the utilities but electricity, including cable and internet. If we decided to use cloth diapers, the laundry costs won't be an issue since water is covered. Plus, the square footage is about the same as some houses we were looking at to rent or buy. Since we're renting, we're going to be able to use some of our savings and tax refund to pay off some debts, which will make things easier. That way we can spend the next year saving up for a down payment as well as paying down some of our student loans. I think we're in a good place - now we just have to move! Oh, and there's that whole labor thing.

One other symptom I've been having is weird dreams, detailed descriptions of which I'll be posting soon, so look out for that!
