Pregnancy Update 21 weeks

I took an unexpected break from everything in my life. I had an ultrasound about 3 weeks ago and it showed something that my doctor didn't like so I had to go on bedrest until she could figure out what exactly was wrong. I had a more high tech ultrasound done with a high risk doctor and everything is ok, so I've finally been released from bedrest. My biggest fear was always that I would be put on bedrest, and with all the complications I've had I expected it, just not quite this early. I have a wonderful husband because the whole time I was on bedrest he took care of everything. I normally do not sit down much, I'm constantly working on a to do list and trying to get things done, so I have learned from this that I will take things much slower until the baby gets here. I found out that we are having a girl. We are really excited and I had some time to plan on how I wanted to decorate the room so now I just have to put that plan into motion. First I have to get all my stuff out of there and make room for the baby stuff. I will try to get some pictures up soon.

Pregnancy Update 16 weeks

I always thought it was a crazy rumor that people would be so tired when they were pregnant. During my first trimester we had church camp, VBS, and a vacation all back to back, and I'm still working full time. I did not go to church camp, but I helped all the kids prepare and I kept up with everything for my husband until he left. When we went on vacation I was 12 weeks and was finally feeling better and was able to eat.

Here lately I have actually felt pretty good. I had to have a large polyp removed a couple weeks ago, and so far so good. Now I'm looking forward to finding out the sex of the baby. I have already had to get maternity clothes because nothing else fit anymore. I feel like I am unusually big and twins run in my family so maybe....

I do not have any baby things yet so I can't wait to find out what I am having so I can start buying things We have been getting our extra bedroom cleaned out so that we can start decorating the baby's room.
