1) We are still paci free. *tear* I still miss it; Emma, not so much. She asks for it randomly, but that's all. I really think that I was more attached than Emma was. I have noticed, though, that her sleeping still isn't what it was when she had a paci. I don't know if that will ever be the same again... Maybe, I miss the sleep more than the paci. Maybe...
2) Jack is still on schedule to make his debut in April. He measured ahead at the last ultrasound. And, his profile looks like Emma to me... I know, I know. It's an ultrasound photo, but he does look like her to me. I go back on Monday to start my weekly appointments. The following week, I will have the cerclage removed. And, then he may make his appearance at any point! Exciting and scary... He still doesn't have a middle name, a room, clothes, diapers, anything! I am so not on top of this! But, I also remember how little Emma needed her first few weeks, so I know we'll be okay... And, diapers are easy to go buy. That will be the major necessity since I plan on nursing him.
3) I decided to become a sales consultant for Chez Ami. It's an adorable children's clothing line. I hosted a party at my house, then I had a couple of friends host parties. They all turned out great! I am so pleased with how the season went. And, I can't wait for fall! Oh, and, if you want to place an order, just let me know and I can help. Or, you can place one online... just enter my name (Jessica Alderman) as your sales rep if you don't have one. :) Thanks!
4) I also took a bunch of clothing to this thing called the Sweet Pea Swap. It is a consignment sale for kids clothes toys, etc. I have tons of appliquéd dresses, rompers, t-shirts, etc. that I made and haven't sold. So, I took them just to see. It went really well! I am definitely pleased with the outcome. It was definitely worth the days of time and effort to hang/bag, tag and iron all of the items.
5) I went to Starkville a few weekends ago for my sorority's reunion. I was a Tri-Delta at MSU. One of my best friends, Lauren, met me there and we got to hang out. It was great getting to see her and catch up. She doesn't live that far away, but it is hard to get together and visit. So glad that we were able to.
6) I am still contemplating a new camera... I have been comparing the Canon 7D and the 60D. I want to take my photography to the next level. I really would like to pursue it on a professional level, but I am weeks away from having a new baby. So, I am trying to maintain a clear perspective... what I want, what I need, what is realistic. I am scheduled to have maternity pictures taken soon and I'm hoping to gain a little advice from my photographer. I have known her since I got engaged, 4 years ago, so I consider her a friend. Hopefully she can shed some light on how to get where I want to go... Your advice is welcomed, too! :)
7) I have been volunteering at a center that deals with unplanned pregnancy. It is privately funded, so they are able to share the good news of Jesus Christ. I have been working with two girls, and it has really been great for me. I have enjoyed working with these girls and look forward to continuing with them and working with others.
8) The Bachelor still has my attention on Monday nights... I gave up blogging about it because sometimes it was the next week before I was able to watch it. But, I am still totally involved. I have cheated, though, and read Reality Steve... a blog that has spoilers. He first said one of the girls would win, and then, in the last couple of weeks, changed it to the other that is still left. So, who knows which will win. I am still pulling for Emily, though. How can you not love her? But, if she isn't the final pick, I hope she is the next Bachelorette!
Okay, so there you go! A few snippets of my life over the last month... so exciting, I know. But, it is what it is! Hope that this past month has been wonderful for you!
