We are now in our second trimester! My belly is starting to pop out just a little...just enough that my clothes don't fit...Our baby is about 3 1/2 inches long and weighs 1-2 ounces- The baby has grown 50 times heavier in just one month! Isn't it amazing?I am still having morning sickness, pretty much everyday, but other than that, everything is fine!

15 weeks along

15 weeks today! My belly is starting to stick out and I THINK that maybe the morning sickness is subsiding (I hope because the medicine knocks me out)We are both so very excited and almost everyday we talk to friends who are also now pregnant! There are a ton of babies about to be born!

July 2004 Baby's heartbeat

We heard the heartbeat today! The baby's heartbeat is strong and of course very fast- about 160-170 beats per minute. The baby was moving around a lot, too!The doctor prescribed me some medicine for the morning sickness that just won't go away....I am healthy and the baby is too! We will have our next sonogram in two months (September) to determine if we are having a boy or a girl!

Hmmm...let's see- the baby LOVES Mexican Food apparently, as that is the only thing that will certainly stay down!

Some of Tim and my kids in the Kid's Ministry at church told their parents we are pregnant, but Daniel's parents weren't sure if they ought to believe him because back in December he asked them "Are Mr. Tim and Ms. Megan gonna have a baby?" So, when he told them recently, Mr. Tim and Ms. Megan are having a baby, they said "we know, someday they will...."Also, Anna from my group, upon hearing our announcement that we are having a baby, said "So THAT'S why you've gotten so fat!"One of my student's at school has been asking me for months if I like kids, when are we going to have a baby...So when I finally told my class they cheered and got really excited. Later, Tiffany asks me, did you have a baby because I kept asking you????! And of course, I told her "Yes, Tiffany it was all because of you!" She walked away very happy!(BTW they are all 1st graders!)
