Beautiful day

Today is beautiful! The sun is shining bright and the temperature is suppose to continue to rise into the 70's. The last few days have been gorgeous, it would be silly not to take advantage of them. A little warmer than we usually have in the spring, but I won't complain. I have been opening all of the windows, hanging diapers on the line and playing outside with Abigail. These type of days make me feel so good. Yesterday started out cloudy and gloomy, which started my day gloomy. I don't know why the weather seems to affect my mood so much. Of course, pregnancy horomones may play a small part in it. :P
I am feeling pretty good. I have some bad days and some good days. I was really nauseous for about the past 2 weeks, and it seems to have died down the past few days. It's good, at least I can eat a meal without gagging. My cramping has completely disappeared, but fatigue has not. It hits many times a day, so I just take it easy, and then take advantage of my active periods to get things done. So far, the time is moving quickly, which is great. The first trimester is always a little boring, and I look forward to watching my belly start to grow and feeling the baby kick.
We've contacted a realtor and hopefully will be looking at some house next weekend *jumps up and down* Unfortunately, we weren't approved for as much as we would have liked. About $8,000 less. DH's parents had promised us sometime in the past year, $5000 to go towards buying a home, since they did the same for my BIL and SIL. It would be really helpful now, because that is going to be the difference between buying a home that really suites our needs and one that we'll just settle on. When DH asked them about it, they said "We don't have the money right now". They can afford yet another vacation this weekend, but somehow can't scrounge up the money they told us they were going to give us. Why did they even tell us about it if they couldn't back it up? They knew we were going to buy soon, if they "didn't have the money" they shouldn't have said anything in the first place. It really makes me mad, I should have known better. I really don't want to dig into our savings too much for a down payment, we need to keep a decent cushion in there in case we need it.
Zane will be home tonight from his first drill weekend with the National Guard. He hates it...go figure. He does this all the time though, he will commit to something before thinking it through and then, ooops! Just like the college classes he took last year, and he now won't finish the degree, because it has nothign to do with the job he was hired into. Or EOD school a few years ago. He decided when he was almost done, he no longer wanted to do it. We extended from 4 years to 5 1/2 years just for that, to have him change his mind. We could have been out a 1 1/2 years ago and most of all, no second deployment. It makes me mad that he won't think this kind of stuff through. Then he looks back and regrets it, you would think he would learn by now.
At least the training for this job is already 2 weeks in, only 2 1/2 months left to go. There's so much to look forward to this summer, I hate to wish the time away, but I am. I'll enjoy as the pregnancy progresses more, when we move into our first home, and when Zane is done with training. I just hope it all goes smoothly!
