Easter 2009

Luke sure did love the Easter Bunny! He wanted to pet him... like a kitty cat!

Mothers Day

Luke Davis Bagwell 1.29.09

It is hard to believe that Luke has been in my life for 2 MONTHS already!! I never thought that being a mother could be so wonderful! Every moment with him is so special... I love him so much and thank God everyday for giving me such a blessing!

It's a....boy

20 Weeks and counting....

We went for our anatomy Ultrasound today. Everything was great!! We were able to see arms, legs, heart, spine, kidneys, stomach, feet, hands etc. I really feel relieved. When the ultrasound tech got around to the "goodies" she told us to turn our heads. She took a picture, printed it out and put it in an envelope. It is now hanging on our fridge... wow it is so tempting. I just think that it will be so special though for us to be able to share the "unveiling" with our families. I couldnt imagine them not being apart of that experience. As much as we have been through, and as much as they have been there for us, I cant imagine not sharing this with them.

13 Weeks Pregnant

I had an appointment last Thursday for a checkup. No ultrasound this visit, but they did listen for an audible heartbeat. The tech said we probably wouldn't hear one since I was only 11 weeks, but within a few seconds of searching... there it was!!! Dr White asked me if I had any questions, and the only one I could think of was "when people ask me how far along I am... what do I tell them". He said 13 weeks. So... I went in thinking I was 11 weeks, and came out 13 weeks!

So... I am almost through my first trimester. Wow how time flys.

9 Weeks....

Well... I had no idea that growing a baby would be so exhausting... still. Here is what What to expect when you're expecting has to say about my "pregnancy fatigue"

What fatigue is: The apparent disappearance of your get-up-and-go, which seems to have temporarily gotten up and gone

What causes it: Pregnancy is sort of like climbing a mountain or running a marathon (without having trained), while carrying a backpack that weighs a little more every day — in other words, it's hard work! During the first trimester, a huge amount of energy goes into building a life-support system for your baby (namely the placenta). In the last trimester, fatigue returns as your growing fetus puts more demands on your body — and as sleep becomes more elusive. Also to blame, all that mood upheaval — riding the emotional roller coaster of pregnancy can be exhausting. It's no wonder you're pooped

What you need to know about it: By the end of the first trimester, your body will have completed the Herculean task of manufacturing the placenta and grown a bit more used to the hormonal and emotional changes that have occurred.



So... no wonder I am exhausted and short of breath!!!
