Oops, I did not realize I was blending into the background until posting this. There's no hiding the belly these days. I'm officially out of my "regular" dress pants. Well, for over 6 months, I've been telling you I feel great! Well, I unfortunately cannot say that at the moment. I still have not experienced nausea or sickness. However, a couple of weeks ago I thought I pulled a muscle in my lower back. It worsened and the pain started shooting down my leg. I called the Dr. and after a visit, learned that the pain is from my sciatic nerve. As your baby grows, your uterus may press on the sciatic nerve, which connects your legs to your spinal cord. Sciatica is a sharp or aching pain that usually starts in the lower back or buttock and sometimes seems to shoot down the back of the leg to the calf or heel. Needless to say, it's been quite a nuisance and has really halted those nightly walks Lee and I were taking. Lee told Baby Petey he was in timeout. His movements are getting more forceful these days. It's so cool and surreal.Sunday, January 25, 2009

24 Weeks and 3 Days
Our little boy is 24 weeks and 3 days old. He weights 1lb, 11 oz. and is about 13 inches long. Over the last couple of weeks, we have gotten to feel him move around. He seems to squirm the most when Lee tries to sing to him. We are relearning our nursey rhymes. It's funny how wrong we had some of them! 
Isn't technology amazing? Our little alien is coming to life! 
I told my 8th grade class today that I was pregnant. They couldn't believe that I was already 6 months along. Lee shared the website video with his 5th graders today. Now they are demanding that they know the name. Hopefully they'll tell me if they find out! Sunday, January 4, 2009
Baby It's Cold Outside

The nurse wrote the sex of our baby and included an ultrasound picture in a Christmas card. The card was displayed in our tree for almost a month. The first thing we did Christmas morning was open our special gift!
Eating for Two at Christmas!
It was great to be with family over Christmas. We spent 5 days in Hawley, MN and 5 in Abbotsford, WI. My niece Taylor (21 months) is getting big & we can't wait to watch her with her cousin next Christmas!
