Nothing too exciting...

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good 2012. I can't believe it's already almost March! It seems like time has flown, at the same time feeling like I have FOREVER until June. I don't know how time can feel like it's running and stopping at the same time, but it has.
I'm currently 25 weeks along in this lovely pregnancy. I really have had no complications or anything too exciting happen. My kidneys hurt sometimes, which isn't very fun. It has been happening for a few weeks, and all my tests have come back free of any bladder or kidney infection. So I guess I have no idea why it happens! It's pretty painful when it does hurt. I'm hoping it's nothing too serious, but considering the doctors I have talked to don't seem to concerned, I'm not either. Other than that, just getting fat and feeling the little guy move is all that's been going on. I love feeling him, it's getting so fun. He has periods where he's pretty active for awhile, but for the most part he seems pretty mild. I don't have a previous pregnancy to compare him to. I don't really know what's considered "mild" or "active" or anything in between. I'm loving it though! It's so fun to feel him wiggle around in there, but he's not big enough to stick a foot in my ribs or an elbow in my side yet so it's not at all uncomfortable. I guess that's going to change here in the next few weeks. I keep thinking I have all the time left in the world to do stuff, but if he comes on time I only have 15 weeks left! Plus 38 is fully cooked and I'm okay with not being fat and uncomfortable for 2 extra weeks, so if I get lucky and have a 38 weeker I only have 13 weeks left. Eeek! I really haven't done a thing yet. We had a friend paint the nursery last week, that's about it. I have lots of clothes already (none that I have bought, I've been lucky to be given lots of stuff from friends and family) and I got those washed and are getting them organized by size now. My front room is a mess. We still need to finish with the nursery, make the bedding, buy furniture, register, organize.... lots left to do! It's so fun though. I like that I now have stuff to do. The first half of the pregnancy was pretty much just worry, wonder if everything is okay and wait. Now that I'm only 15 weeks away there's lots to do! I'm excited to do it all too. I want the room to be done so I can start buying furniture and organizing clothes and doing all the little stuff. I just want it to be June already, I'm ready to have a baby to cuddle and snuggle and make me sleep deprived!!
Speaking of sleep deprivation, I'm already on the right track to seeing what that feels like. I don't sleep well at night. Between my sweet husband who is a bed hog and snores like crazy, my bladder, and struggling to stay on a side I'm constantly up. I seem to get my best sleep in the mornings after I fall back asleep, but then the dogs wake up and don't want me to sleep in. Lame!

Judd just got back from Germany. It was so hard having him gone for 2 weeks! I understand that it was only 2 weeks and some people are away from thier husbands for a lot longer, but for us that was a long time. We are not the type that can go that long without seeing eachother, it was hard on us both. I'm glad that this was his last annual tour and I won't have to do that again. I told him if he goes away for long again he better wait until we've been married longer and I don't like him as much. He agreed. He had a lot of fun while he was away though. He got to see lots of castles and drink some good German beer. He brought me home LOTS of chocolate too. I told him since he was gone for Valentines and the Germans do good chocolate, to find me something and bring me a little. Well everytime I talked to him while he was away he had picked me up some more. I told him I only wanted a little, and he came home with a smorgousborg of delicous chocolate. I'm not complaining though, it's so good! A lot of it has hazelnuts in it so it tastes like Nutella, and this girls loves some Nutella. Pregnancy is probably the wrong time to be eating tons of German chocolate, since I'm about to get huge everywhere anyway, but it sure does taste so good when I'm having a choco craving. Yumm yum. So it's good to have Judd home, and his chocolate bar friends too :)

Other than that not too much going on with us! I have an appointment in the middle of the month so I'll update soon on how things are and where I'm at on the preparations!! Thanks for listening all!
