Pregnancy Brain

I thought it appropriate to title this blog "Pregnancy Brain" due to the fact that I am going to now try to recall events from the last several months and I'm not thinking it's going to be the easiest thing I've ever done. It seems that pregnancy causes a woman to lose her short and long term memory and a little bit of her common sense. Most of you know what I'm talking about. Let's start this update with baby news.

The last picture I posted of me was at 12 weeks. Man have we come a long way since then. 16 weeks

20 weeks
At about 20 weeks, we found out that we have a little BOY on our hands. Seems like this is definitely blog worthy, but did I take the time to get on here...NO. So here he is.

BOY

24 weeks

I am currently a little over 25 weeks and will go back to the doc at 28 weeks to have diabetes blood testing and a 3D sonogram done. Those sonograms are always pretty cool because you can see what the baby looks like. Hopefully, Hagen will cooperate, as he does not like being pushed on. He moves and squirms every time we have a sonogram or listen to the heartbeat. He likes his space, which I'm sure he is quickly running out of.

On to other topics...Nick is only a few weeks from graduating from the fire academy! This is a day that cannot come fast enough. Being away from each other Mon-Thurs and Saturday has not been fun. Don't get me wrong...this is definitely not the hardest thing we've gone through as a couple, but I like him. Of course I love him, but I like him too. He's my best friend and it's hard to get home after 4 just to quickly say goodbye to the one person you wanted to get home to see. It's almost over though. January 16th will be graduation day. I didn't get to see Nick graduate from high school or college so it will be a lot of fun to see him graduate from the academy.

As far as Micha goes, I'm pretty much consumed by growing this baby. It's funny how Hagen just seems to be a part of the family already. He's not even here yet and it seems so normal to talk about him and call him by name. I've gotten registered at Babies R Us and have already received the crib bedding from my parents and have strong feeling that the diaper bag will be given to me before too long, seeing that it shows as being purchased. Work has been pretty good, but I was definitely ready for Christmas break and am hoping to get a lot accomplished with the time off.

Until next time...
