Oh, Carmen - I know many moms who wish, in retrospect, they had taken more belly shots to show baby when he or she is grown up! Do take lots of pictures, even if you don't want to post 'em, okay?

Hello. I am having my hubby take more pictures of me.

I had a good weekend. My last dr. visit on Friday went well.
They want to see me every 2 weeks, now, instead of once a month just to monitor the baby's growth, because of a health issue I have.

On Sunday I went to a local radio station sponsered baby shower.
Over 1000 of us pregnant gals showed up. I came home with 2 bags full of freebeies. Baby rattles, sippy cups, outlet covers, ointment samples, baby food, wipes.... etc and a lot of other stuff. It was fun and educational. They had several staff members from a local hospital come talk about breastfeeding and various other pregnancy related topics.

Cute pictures of your belly, and cute pictures of Vince! He is such a pretty baby. The big baby shower sounds fun, but very packed with people!

I can't believe the Lyra will be 2 months old on Sunday. I wanted to share a few pictures. I just realized I need to be taking more!!

She is getting better with her hands and can clasp them together and also find her mouth with them. I think it's so cute when she clasps her hands together!

An "awake" picture but it's a few weeks old...

Lyra has changed so much in the last few weeks and she will be 8 weeks old on Thursday. She is smiling but only rarely- she really has to be looking at someone to grace them with a real smile (though she does it a lot in her sleep). I'm hoping as she gets older she will start smiling more. She is also awake a lot more and more interested in other things besides eating (like being shown around the house).

She is still waking up every 2 hours to eat at night, but luckily I have a great husband who stays up late so I can sleep! I know Lyra has grown a lot and I can't wait to see how much she weighs at her 2 month check up (but unfortunately I have to wait until the 17th so my husband can go since he is off on Fridays...).

It is so amazing that being pregnant led to this. Obviously, I knew I was having a baby but it still seems like such a miraculous event. I think pregnancy is hard (it was for me anyway) but it is so worth it.

I'm sure you all can't wait to meet your babies.

What a beautiful little girl Lyra is. I love her name, too! She's just so sweet and precious

All these baby pictures make me smile!!!! Lyra and Vince are so cute.
Ooooh, I can't wait to meet mine.

Aww these cute babies and cute pregnant bellies.

I've been sooo busy I haven't dedicated as much time to this thread as I thought I would LOL. Everything is still good with us. I'm almost 15 weeks. Never had morning sickness. Finally got all of my energy back so I've started going to the gym regularily again, and my taste in food is back to normal. My pee tests have so far been good. Blood pressure is awesome. I lost 17 pounds (due to my metabolism changing so much) but I'm just starting to gain again. I'll have to get pictures of my belly up soon. Tearing down the wallpaper in the nursery is one of my current projects. What a pain. All this baby stuff on my mind, I have a pregnant dog to think about, and I've started my own business so the garage is being turned into a shop...all of this with me working long hours and my husband working out of town 4 hours away...Life has been hectic!! The baby is supposedly 3.5 inches now...Next ultrasound is in May.

Heard the heartbeat again yesterday, it sounds good! It's a slower heartbeat but I don't believe it means anything about the sex. I sure hope it's a boy though!!

Just wanted to post that I'm being admitted to the hospital early tomorrow to be induced. We really expected later this week, but my BP was up a little and I've started dilating, so the doctor said that we would go ahead and do this tomorrow!

Back to getting last-minute things done around the house.
