In Love

We're adjusting, and it's getting to be more fun and less overwhelming. It's still tiring - I think it always will be - but we're all getting to know each other better and are settling into our new normal.

And is this not just the sweetest face you've ever seen?! Her little personality is starting to emerge, and it's so exciting!

ADORABLE!!!

So the ligament thing...I knew about it...but not about the pain. I go into the chiroracter's office every week and he actually adjusts the ligaments around my uterus as they expand. They'd cause me aching--dull aching--and back pain every week, but never the excruciating pain I had today. And my nausea is finally starting to subsite. Finally...and I'd be relieved but I didn't realize that I looked to the nausea as a sign that the baby's doing okay. Now that it's gone--well, still going but it's so much better that It feels gone even though before I was pregnant this would be considered miserable--but now that it's subsiding my "everything's okay" sign is now gone. With very little expansion in my waist and no kicking yet and not another apointment for 4 weeks what will I have to look to to know the baby's okay? I did talk to my gyno today and she said that what I described sounds okay but if it happens again I'll have to go into the office immediately. That makes me feel better. I kinda hope it happens again just so I get to see another ultrasound. ...and I'm so mad! I took out my second ultrasound pic yesterday to show Ashley and I LOST IT!!!---wait! I remember suddenly! I put it on the copier Dave has! yay!

Dontcha love my steady stream of consciousness???

I still can't see how she looks like either of you and I usually can! Maybe becuase it's just pictures I'm seeing and not movement. Maybe that's what does it. Maybe because you and Scott and Leah all have very generic faces--no large noses or funny shaped eyes to speak of. All your features are textbook perfect. I don't know but I try to see it every time! I think when she gets as old as Ashley Marie maybe it will be evident...she's DEFINITELY got some familial features!

She's beautiful.

I think the first three months are the toughest, for me. You sound like you are coming along perfectly as a new family of three. What a wonderful time.
