So many changes!

A lot of things are shifting in my life last minute, as I expected they would. I finally sold the bus to a young couple, who are also expecting a baby..not until spring though. :) I have enough money from the sale to move into the exact Toyota Dolphin that I have been wanting, which is very exciting. I am going to miss the bus, but not the size or trying to find places to park it. The Dolphin will be much more manageable for me. Kelley is going to take me to Klamath Falls to pick it up on Sunday, then the new bus owners will take over the bus then. Sad endings and happy beginnings. :) Now to sell sweet Bella Bug.

I have been downsizing and selling everything that I had on the bus. I am excited to have even less stuff than I moved to Oregon with. Plus, it is giving me a little extra income to work with for when the baby gets here. Looking into buying a small trailer for all of my bulk food so that we can use it all up this winter and have a way to move around the country in the spring. It looks like Kelley might get a really good paying job in Klamath Falls for the winter, which will mean having a roof over our heads until we head out in the spring. :) We will see how that unfolds.

I finally went to my first midwife appointment, more out of curiosity of how my baby is growing than anything. I have felt really great my whole pregnancy, so it wasn't out of worry, but wanting to hear the heartbeat and reaffirm that I have been eating well and that pregnancies can be completely healthy and perfect without having to go to a doctor. The baby is healthy, moving all of the time, the right size, heartbeat is awesome, my blood pressure is great, and the levels on my urine test are perfect. I have gained around 25lbs, but not sure where the weight is going, for I fit into all of my clothes still and my body looks the same, aside from my huge belly. :) I guess it is possible that it could all go to my belly. :)

The weather is changing fast here in Ashland. The nights are getting chilly, and the days have cooled off a lot. I am glad for the change, because it sure was getting hot on the bus during the day.

Will update more on Monday. :)

New Home for Bob

I finally sold the motorcycle today. I sold it for much, much less than it was worth, but I really needed to stop moving it around Ashland, so I am glad that he sold. I was thankfully able to hold back my stream of tears when they new owners drove him away. Two more vehicles to sell! Showing and letting people test drive the vehicles so often is making me slightly crazy and very exhausted. I am getting pretty anxious to find the other two a new home soon, and pick up the Dolphin. I really just want to rest for the remainder of my pregnancy, not move around all of the time. I am 33 weeks on Wednesday, and I do not feel like I am growing much sometimes. Other people reassure me that I am, but I feel so tiny compared to some people at even 28 weeks. I think I just eat a lot differently than most everyone else. I guess I can't gain too much body fat when I am just eating fermented food, a lot of beans, vegetables, and cheese. I applied for Oregon Health Plan the other day to get help with midwife costs, so with that being said, I am working on finding a midwife in Ashland right now for the birth. I think I actually found one, and she is one of the only midwives in Ashland that will take people right before birth, even if you have had another midwife during the pregnancy.

I am thinking about starting an online registry this week for the rest of the baby things I need before the wee one comes. I already have a car seat, which was the biggest thing on my list, but probably not enough cloth diapers..or clothing. So anyone that has any baby clothes they aren't using anymore, please hit me up. :)

I will take an updated pregnancy photo pretty soon. I have been slacking on it big time. :) I have been thinking about staying in Ashland for the winter and then taking a long road trip in the spring. A lot of searching on the internet for places to rent lately. Everything is pretty expensive here.

Just a quick update - I will update more this week. :)
