I am already a proud Mama! (I think my child is very photogenic already!) I love the little right arm coming around from the other side. It's sorta like the baby is putting up it's arm for a little fist pound, like "Hey Mom, here I am! What's up?!" This was the first ultrasound picture we got to take home. It was taken around 11 weeks. It really is amazing how quickly everything forms and how the cells all know what they're supposed to do and become...truly a miracle.I am VERY proud to report that today on my way to work I thought to myself, "I actually feel like a pretty normal person today!" It was a wonderful thought considering I haven't felt at all "normal" since I hit 5 weeks. I'm now 15 weeks, so it's about time I had a normal feeling day. Definitely including some thoughts of gratitude in tonight's prayer.
Everything else is pretty status quo. Ryan's busy with school and patients. I'm getting worn out being with the kids all day, but I'm lucky that I love my job and get at least one good laugh in everyday because of something some kid does or says. Today, I heard a 6 year-old leaving my class very inquisitively asking his friend, "So, how come you didn't sit next to me today? Is it because you like Zachary more?" The friend just kinda shrugged his shoulders like "I dunno, I just didn't sit by you." Or yesterday, a 5-year old was doing his end of the day job and when thanked for doing it turned and said very matter of factly, "Well, it's my gob!" That's right...gob! (he has some speech issues, but it sure was cute!)
So that's it. I'm hoping I continue this feeling normal thing lasts for longer than just today!

Glad to hear you're starting to feel better! That's always a relief. Enjoy it!
Aren't ultrasounds the best part of pregnancy? (Except feeling the baby kick. That's amazing.) It's so incredible how much they can "accomplish" in so little time, and so fun to "spy" on them! We got a 3D ultrasound with Libby and I swear it looked exactly like her when she was born. In the 20-week ultrasound with Reeve she was holding and trying to bite her umbilical cord and I knew we had a character on our hands! So excited for all the forthcoming baby Plewe updates. Keep feeling great!
You are going to have one cute baby! I can't wait!
oh sweet little baby! isn't that the best seeing that there actually IS a baby in there and not some parasite that just makes you sick!
aaawwww so cute! I'm so excited for you - and happy to hear you're feeling closer to normal!
laurel!!! congrats on the baby! so exciting.
ooooh, the proud Laurel moments have begun! You'll be a great mama . . . we're happy for you! I agree with Jacy - feeling the baby move in there is the best. You should feel it in the next month! Yeah!
