Life is good

Saturday was the start of my second trimester. I am starting to feel better and have more energy. The school year is winding down. My Kindergarteners graduated last week and I have only a few more days with my other students. For Art Class last week, my kindergarteners drew me pictures of their favorite part of Kindergarten. Here is one of my favorites:

Yes, the top drawing is a picture of me having the baby! Notice the smile on my face. The bottom drawing is Jonathan and I standing next to the crib. Gotta love Kindergarteners!

Introducing Doodle Bug

Here is our first baby photo. Doodle Bug was quite active at first, but decided to take a nap after a few minutes. We were able to see the heart beating. Notice his/her hand next to the face. Jonathan thinks the baby was picking its nose, but I think that maybe the baby was sucking its thumb. We will be able find out if the baby is a Benjamin or Emily in about six weeks.

First Baby Pictures

We have an ultrasound tomorrow morning. Check back for Doodle Bug's first baby pictures. By the way, Doodle Bug is what we are calling the baby until we know whether it will be Benjamin or Emily.

Ahh, health care....

So we got the first denied claim of the pregnancy. Apparently the doctor's office managed to correctly write down the insurance information, but the lab 50 feet away didn't. Classic.

On the plus side, the man at Anthem got things straightened out quickly and did a great job. And for those of you who know me, the fact that I'm saying nice things about BCBS is significant.

Heartbeat

Got to hear the heartbeat on Friday. Wow. It was amazing.
