Things have been so crazy lately, but here I am. :)

Last week was Kids' Discipleship Day Camp. It went really well but boy did I feel exhausted afterward! Lots of fun though.

I am now less than a week from my second trimester and feeling pretty good--thanks to modern medicine, anyway! :) I can't believe that I've come so far already...it's going so quickly. :) My u/s is scheduled for August 11, and I can't wait! We are so excited to find out what we're expecting. :)

I am "showing" now, but it's only because my uterus pushed the belly fat out. Hopefully I'll be able to avoid belly-rubbers for a few more weeks until the baby is actually sticking out some. :) (Or if I'm lucky, maybe I'll be able to avoid them all together!)

I had my first ob/gyn appointment last week--although I have not met Dr. Delcharco yet. I saw the nurse midwife--her name is Roana and she is wonderful! She had no problem with scheduling my u/s a little early so that I could do it before going to visit my sister, she wheeled in a mini-u/s machine so I could see the baby, and she asked me (without me mentioning it) if I wanted a prescription for nausea. :) She also was very supportive of me not getting the screening tests (for Down Syndrome, etc.) done, and she was just very sweet and supportive all around. :) My next appointment is in July, but I forget what day. :)

Seeing the baby was wonderful. The picture wasn't great quality, but it was so fun. :) The baby was flipping around and wiggling, and at one point, even seemed to be waving. I can't wait for my official u/s! :)

I better get going for now...thinking about taking the girls out back to the little pool we're borrowing from my parents for the summer. :) Hope you are all doing well! Can't wait to hear from you. :)
