Fifteen Weeks and Counting

I have been a very lazy blogger lately, but I’ll try to pick things up soon. As far as the pregnancy goes, I haven’t got much to report, except that all is well. My check-up last week showed that the baby is growing as it should be, his or her heart is beating at 154 beats/minute, my blood pressure is good and low, and I haven’t gained any more weight (2 lbs so far).

I’m still tired, but that problem is MUCH better than what it was in the first trimester. My belly is starting to bulge out a little bit, but it still isn’t all that noticeable to everyone else. I did order a pair of maternity jeans from Old Navy, but my regular clothes are still fitting pretty well.

This past weekend was Dan and Steph’s wedding, which was a blast. The ceremony went well, the picture-taking was fun, the food was good and the guests (from what I could tell) had a great time. Unfortunately, Jeff got sent to California last week for work, and missed the whole thing. He is still there, but is supposed to be home on Wednesday night.

13 Weeks

I haven't written in a couple of weeks, but we've been busy. Billy and Kelli got married in Somerset on the 3rd and Melissa and Eric on the 7th (7-7-07; the busiest wedding day in recorded history). I'm still measuring my life in weeks, and now I'm into the second trimester, which is a bit of a relief. Things are still pretty much the same...I'm tired, but less tired than before, still getting heartburn, have found that sometimes I can't eat certain foods, and I'm sore from sleeping on my side. I'll be glad to get back to belly sleeping after the baby is born.

The exciting news of the week is that Dad is officially retired. He never has to go back to work again! I know he's been waiting a long time for this, and he's already filled me in on some of his more interesting plans. Oh - the other exciting news it that Jeff, Dad, Rich, Nicole, Mark, Tony and I are all going to Las Vegas for 5 days at the beginning of September. I'm planning on doing a lot of lounging by the pool at the Hilton.
