If you don't know yet, I am pregnant! :) I am about 15 1/2 weeks along, and I am due on April 17th! We don't know the gender yet, but will probably find out at either our next appointment (Nov. 2), or the one right after Thanksgiving. Its pretty crazy to think that I am only 4 1/2 weeks away to being halfway through the pregnancy!
To answer questions I have been asked:
How am I feeling?
Now, I am feeling great! The first trimester was a little crappy, but really not too bad. I got a little nauseous at night, and eating sugar and sweets (though they tasted good) made me feel quite ill. haha. But I never got sick enough to be physically ill, or anything like that. So I count myself as lucky.
The last couple of weeks I have felt much better. Probably due to the fact that I am now a couple of weeks into the second trimester. I don't usually get sick at all during the day or at night. And I can eat sugar again, though not in large amounts. haha. Which is probably a good thing. :)
One weird thing that was really bad in the first trimester, and that still offends my nose, is the smell of peanut butter. haha. And the taste, but I wouldn't even try to taste it because I think it smells so bad right now. And I used to LOVE peanut butter. Not anymore!
So... whats our plan?
Most of you who have talked to me about my schooling plans know that I was planning on doing Graduate School starting Fall 2013. Well... this is still definitely the plan. :) The baby isn't changing any of our schooling plans.
No, we are not under any sort of false sense of security that this will all be a breeze. We are fully aware that it will be hard. We will both be in graduate school, and will have to find a babysitter during the day while we are both in classes, and we will have to get creative with funding. And doing homework will be harder. BUT- it doesn't change anything. I am very committed to finishing my education, and have absolutely no intention of dropping out. :) And neither, of course, does Scott. So, like many couples before us in this situation, we will work it out. And it will be wonderful. :)
Do I have a baby bump yet?
Not really. haha. Which is why I haven't posted any pictures. I am not a very exciting pregnant woman, I guess. BUT... Scott and I think that this week we are finally starting to see something of a bump, even in the weekly Sunday picture we took this morning. So if I am feeling ambitious, maybe I will post that one. But its really nothing very exciting, so I may wait til it looks a little more obvious. :)
Okay- non-baby updates!
School is going well for both of us. Scott is almost half way through his second year of Pharmacy School. That's pretty exciting! And life is seriously going by soooo fast! I don't have any idea where October went, but we're pretty much into November. But its a good thing, as far as I am concerned.
My classes are going well, too. I am in my second to last semester. I graduate with my Bachelors in May 2013. Woohoo! I am in the process of filling out Grad School applications and everything to get ready for next Fall.
We are both excited for the holidays! This is seriously my very favorite time of the year. And I am sooooooo excited for winter. All you winter-haters are crazy. Next to Fall, it is the best season.
That's really it, though. Our lives really don't change very much when we're in school. Class, work, study, sleep, repeat. If we're lucky we'll even get to see each other once in a while. :)
I do, however, promise to post an update once we find out the gender of the baby. :)
