Now that we’re out of the first trimester, I feel safe to share our exciting news!  We’re having a baby… on April 14th.  We are beyond ourselves excited and cannot wait to meet the little person growing inside me.  I was really nauseous for  about a month but only threw up once. The biggest hurdle has been combating the fatigue.  Bryant is convinced I would be exhausted anyways-  just teaching 3rd grade for the first time, let alone doing 10 hours a week of internship, going to class every Monday evening and commuting an hour each way.  It’s true…  this is a very stressful time to be pregnant.  It is just now becoming part of my reality as we’re openly sharing the news.  Although I think Bryant has thought of nothing else since the day we saw the little plus sign- I never imagined my husband turning into a complete mush.  It is already obvious who will be the disciplinarian in our house, and we haven’t even met the little one.   It has been strange to feel my body morphing into an unfamiliar shape.  You can’t really tell yet that I’m pregnant, most people at school still don’t know, but I can tell a difference.

We’ve had two ultrasounds- the most amazing experience of my entire life!  We’re going to find out the sex of the baby at the end of November.  The measurements all look great and the heartbeat was strong.  The baby was really active and at one point, appeared to be sucking its thumb.

We’re in love already.
