New Pictures (17 weeks)



I was able to go to my bro in law and his students down at the hospital last night to get more pics of Dre. It is always so fun to be able to see him and watch him grow. It still amazes me that there is something inside of me that is so precious and such a miracle. I'm so lucky to be able to get so many pics too! Thanks Brian! Dre was not cooperating very well though. He was face down and had his back turned the whole time. We could not get a good profile. But, everything looked normal so far and I can't wait to see him for real.

As far as being pregnant I have been really lucky. I was not sick in the first trimester at all. I never felt real nauseous unless I didn't eat for a really long time. Around 10 weeks though I started getting really bad headaches. At first it was just at night, then a few weeks later it turned into all day. That was not fun to be at school with a bunch of 6 year olds all day trying to teach. Let's just say I should have been a little nicer! But over the past couple of weeks my headaches have gone away. I'm so glad because I never felt real comfortable taking tylenol. The thing that is crazy to me is how fast my body has changed. Everyday I go to put pants on that fit a week ago, but now I can't do up all the way. It's great! It's fun to see my belly get bigger though and know that it is for a good reason. Overall, I don't mind being pregnant. (at least for now)
