Family Update

Things are going well. We are super busy with school and work. I have two jobs. I work on campus as a Teachers Assistant for Brother Bennion. One of my favorite teachers that I have had at BYUI. I also work at the Rexburg Opinion Center. Tomorrow is my first day. I am taking 14 credits. A little scared to take on all of this stuff. Mike is working at the Rexburg Opinion Center too and he is taking 17 credits this semester. One of my classes is a teaching one. I get to go into the middle school and teach 6th graders. I was in the class room today and I definitely go a little emotional seeing all of them because they are my little brother Garrett's age. I don't usually tear up like that but that is one of the blessings of pregnancy. It definitely made me miss little Gair Bear. I had my second doctor's appointment today. I got to hear the baby's heart beat which was very exciting and it was a fast little heart beat. Doctor says everything looks good and that I should start showing again. I haven't gained weight yet(Which Mike is worried about because he wants me to gain weight for the baby) but it is normal to not gain weight until the 2nd trimester. I am not sure how I feel about baby bump pictures. I feel like they are necessary to document the moments but at times they can be cheesy. So if you care just let me know how you feel about it. I am thirteen weeks tomorrow. crazy. Tomorrow is the final end to the first trimester. Our baby is about three inches long and weighs about 1 ounce. The internet says it is about the size of a medium shrimp. Pretty picture right? Well that is the update on our lives. I may not be the best at this but I will try to update on pregnancy info.
