The Samuel Family

The first trimester is almost over. What happened to the last few months? Time sure does fly by. I saw Dr. Carlson today and got to see our little one dancing around in my belly. That never gets old. It was so fun to see. So far everything is going great. I had a little nausea in the beginning, but that went away around 9 weeks. Whoo Hoo! Besides feeling tired (nothing new), I feel really good and sometimes even forget I am pregnant. I talked to my Dr. a lot about avoiding pre-term labor. I have decided to take weekly progesterone shots starting at 16 weeks, which studies have shown to help women who have had pre-term labor previously go to full term. Crossing my fingers and toes that I get a "take home baby" this time around.

Here is another picture of the baby. Can't see much again, but "she" was sure moving around in there a lot.

I feel so bad that I don't have many pictures of Lucas these days. I still have not replaced my broken camera. Soon....Soon....I promise. He is talking so much and putting small sentences together. He is still kind of a Mama's boy and very tentative to be around people he doesn't know very well. I am hoping the "stranger danger" stage gets a little better soon. Baby steps I guess. He is a lot more work these days and Mommy gets exhausted pretty easily. Tantrums are in full force and he really wants a lot of interaction with who ever is around. I have found that since Dinosaurs are his new favorite thing, I can put on Ice Age - Dawn of the Dinosaurs and get some much needed quiet time. :)
