22 weeks

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted. The wedding season is almost over and I can feel the excitement of july 4th being my first Saturday off since march 28th!! I really can't even begin to explain the business of this past spring and early summer. It's honestly insane. I like to compare my career to that of a CPA. They bust butt until April 15th and then get to have a life again. I kinda feel that way too.

Now for an update on the pregnancy. If you read my last post, then you know about the fibroid I have that has given us a huge scare of pre-term labor. Well, Matt and I went to see a specialist and he was so amazing. I loved his bedside manner and confidence with which he spoke. I really thank God for people like this. During the meeting my 50% chance of per-term went to like 5%!!! Praise God!! I could have kissed the doctor right there, but that would have been a little weird. Anyway, I am back to enjoying my pregnancy -minus the occasional nausea brought on by the iron pills I have to take for anemia. Apparently the fibroid or "big nasty", which is what I call it, likes to suck the iron out of me on top of what Amelia takes for herself. The doctors are going to keep a close "eye" on me and I have another ultrasound coming up the last week of June. Please continue to pray for us during the pregnancy and that the doctors would have wisdom and that Matt and I would know the questions to ask.

I am now starting to feel Amelia kick on a regular basis. She is an active little thing. I feel kinda bad for her though, I believe she has chronic hiccups. I feel them all the time and it makes me worry about her. Does that even hurt her? I can't stand to have the hiccups and it makes me think of that poor girl that was on the Today show this past year who had the hiccups for months. I just hope she can relax in there. Do any mothers reading this know what I'm talking about and if it's ok?

Finally, here are some pics to enjoy. There is one of Matt and I holding the onesie from the night we found out it was a girl. The other two are from just yesterday. I had a family shoot at furman and I had the dad take these shots of me at the end of the shoot. :)
