Well, it's been a while since my last blog. Things are going great! The baby is growing fast & getting wiggly! Around the end of week 16 I felt the baby move for the first time! It was so exciting! Since then, I felt it progressively more often & it's gotten stronger & more noticeable with each day. I've actually been feeling it quite a bit lately. It's way fun! Much to Cody's disappointment, he hasn't been able to feel it yet. The few times the baby has moved or kicked more than once in a short period of time, Cody's been gone or sleeping or something. He keeps putting his hand on my belly every time I tell him I felt it & asking the baby to "Do it again, please." It's so cute. I finally gave up last week & went & bought a pair of Maternity pants, as none of mine really fit around my stomach anymore. Holy cow, they are SO stinkin' comfortable! A little expensive, but comfortable! We have our next appointment on Thursday & we'll get our big fancy ultrasound. With this one, they will actually be able to tell if it's a boy or girl, but we're not going to find out. Sorry guys, we want to be surprised! But anyway, I'm sure I'll have more news at that point. But for now, I've got to go help Cody's mom fix up her costume for the school halloween festival this week. Love you all!

Now-a-days

Well, we had another appointment on thursday. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat. That was cool. Everything's going well & progressing the way it should be. I'd gained 5 lbs since our last appointment 4 weeks earlier. At this point, they look for about a lb a week, so we're pretty much right on track. The morning sickness stuff is pretty much gone. I still have days sometimes when I just kinda feel a little crappy & have to be careful of what I eat, but for the most part, it doesn't really go past just feeling yuck anymore. Sure, every once in a while I still find myself running to the toilet or sink, but it's not often at all anymore! It also helps that now, when I get nauseated, I can take a little pill & it goes away! So, that helps. Gladly though, I don't have to take them very often. General Conference was this past weekend. It was awesome! I really enjoyed it! Of course, I always enjoy the chance to listen to the Prophet & apostles, but this one seemed especially good. This weekend, Cody & I are heading down to Louisville, KY for the TEAM National Leadership convention. It will be another awesome weekend. We'll get to listen to several big leaders on the TEAM, as well as the co-founders, Orrin Woodward & Chris Brady. It's gonna be a blast! Pretty much, everything's been going great! Life is grand! We're happy & excited about life & having a baby... There's plenty to be happy about, so we are! Anyway, speaking of the baby... I need to get food, so I'm gone! I'll update again soon. Love you all!
