Another week
No baby heartbeat yet. The baby didn't like the Doppler. But Shannon (our midwife) was able to get a reading on the Doppler that the baby's heartbeat was at 168. So, we know there's a baby in there! We just couldn't get close enough to hear the heartbeat. I am going to go back on Thursday and we will try again!

Maternity clothes!
Yesterday, I bought 69 maternity items for $90! I was able to try them all on and almost everything fits and looks nice. Craigslist is a blessing! I have more capris than I know what to do with. But that's a nice problem. I am so thankful to the Lord for bringing these to me.
Other than that, I'm just trying to get my last few hours of studying in. I'm taking my test on Monday. We have a few doctor appointments today and tomorrow along with some other things so I need to hit the books as hard as I can today. I'm feeling pretty confident, though. I'll write again after we hear the baby's heartbeat tomorrow!

Excitingness of the Week :)
Howdy! I am really excited about two things this week.
First: I am studying for my last test. And at the last minute (late last week), I found out that I can change the type of test I'm taking. I am no longer taking the TECEP test that Thomas Edison offers, but instead I am taking a DANTES. Now there are several good things about the switch. DANTES tests are generally easier, you get an instantaneous score rather than having to wait approximately 5 weeks, the breakdown of what the test is about is much more comprehensible, and there is a practice test! All of which are awesome advantages! Generally, I would say that DANTES cost a lot less ($80 versus $249), but that is the only catch to this. I had already paid for the TECEP ($249) and cannot be refunded. But I think that is a loss that I'm okay with. I feel so much better about potentially being able to pass the DANTES that I don't really care about the cost at this point. Monday marks the day I meet this last challenge.
Second: We get to go hear the baby's heartbeat on Friday! How amazing is that? Already the first trimester is almost complete. On the 11th, I will move into the second third. :) I am so thankful that I haven't hardly been nauseous in the last month. And I've been having quite a bit more energy. Gradually, I'm getting things cleaned up around here.
Well, that's all the updates for now!
