Almost 15 Weeks

I had my 14 week appointment yesterday which was just a check-up. Aaron was able to come with me and we heard the heartbeat (I didn't know they listen every visit, which I'm happy about). I still haven't gained any weight, but I'm told that is still okay. The Dr. said that if I haven't gained any by my next appointment, that is not normal. My clothes are definitely not fitting as well, but I guess my body is just adjusting.
I bought my 1st pair of maternity pants last weekend and wore them yesterday. I don't really need them, but it's much more comfortable than squeezing into my regular clothes! I plan on just rotating 2 or 3 pairs of work pants. Maternity clothes can be more than the regular clothes I buy! If anyone has any suggestions to a cheap place to buy them, please let me know. I looked up a few consignment stores in Charlotte that I may check out next.
Aaron finally got fed up at the restaurant and quite that job. The GM there had a short temper and would swear and yell at employees for the smallest things. I know he's relieved to not work 2 jobs anymore, but we're going to have to be even more careful about finances. At least now when he has a 3 day weekend, I actually get to see him instead of him working double shifts all the time.
Some updated news... we started looking at houses on the market. We are not planning on making an offer anytime in the near future, but we wanted to start looking into what is out there and what the market looks like right now for buyers. There are some great dealsl out there right now. We've been looking just outside of Mecklenburg county so our taxes will be lower. We found a great house in a nice neighborhood that is a short-sale. The house has been abandoned for a while but only needs a new carpet and a few windows replaced. I am really struggling with whether to go through with making an offer so soon into looking. Plus, we aren't quite ready to make a down payment. I hate the possibility of walking away from a great deal. I worry we won't find another house for the price that we love. I refuse to rush into this though, so if it gets sold before we are ready, I know it wasn't meant to be.

This is the house we like.
