21 Weeks Pregnant

This week has been a rush of finishing up the school year and flying to Alabama to visit Kirk. I officially had my first day of pregnancy hormones! After traveling all day to get to Alabama I was at my limit and started the on slot of crying for no real reason. I cried because I was hungry, because my flight was delayed, because I got lost driving to Maxwell AFB, because I missed my cats, and because I had to sleep on the other side of the bed. The last of which prompted Kirk to ask me if I was really crying because I had to sleep on the other side of the bed which then started the laughing hysterically and crying combination. Which only got worse when Kirk asked "What is wrong with you?". All I can say is I had enough hormonal breakdowns in one day to last the entire pregnancy. Other than the day of hormones, my visit to Alabama has been great and I have really enjoyed being able to spend time with Kirk. I have also been doing well and going for walks everyday and enjoying the sun.

Went and had my ultrasound this morning. Everything is looking great with the baby and he/she is measuring right on schedule. I have a low lying placenta that the doctors will be monitoring. I will go back for another ultrasound in around 7 weeks to check the distance of the placenta from cervix at that time. The baby was full of energy today and doing somersaults making it very difficult for the technician to take his/her picture. Here are some pictures from today's ultrasound.

19 Weeks Pregnant

Sorry that I have not made an update in a while. Kirk has been in Alabama and I have been staying really busy with squadron functions, teaching, and the 7 wk. old kitten that we adopted. We have named her Chance. She is full of energy and a lot of fun. I am doing great and have not had any problems. I go on June 18th for my 20 wk. ultra-sound. I can't wait! I should also have a couple of job interviews next week for a couple of full time teaching positions. I will be done teaching for this school year on June 21st and fly out to Alabama and Missouri on the 22nd.
