The reveal

Well, I've been waiting to update because I wanted to have a belly pic to go with it, but we keep forgetting and I've realized my camera does not like me doing it myself. But, we do have some news, so I figured I needed to go ahead.
We had the "big" ultrasound last Tuesday, which revealed that we were wrong again and we are, in fact, having another girl! After the initial shock because everyone was so sure it was a boy, we were very excited for Adia to have a sister. And, I think we have decided on a name:
Johanna Elise. Just aren't sure if we will call her Elise or Johanna. And in other good news, the tear is completely gone! YAY!

So, there you go. The big news for now.

To those I love

There are some things that come with pregnancy that come out of left field. Things that you never really thought would be affected by it. But here I am, with yet another "side effect" that this pregnancy seems to be so plagued with.
Because of all the worry and stress we had early on, I've pretty much been a real joy to be around (I hope you caught the sarcasm). I have not done a very good job to not let this pregnancy effect every part of my life. For a while, it's all I could think about, especially when I had to stay in bed the majority of the time. And therefore, it has caused issues with my closest relationships. Not to the point of no return on any of them, but it's been a struggle to get them back to where they need to be.
So, I guess my purpose for this post is this: Your pregnancy is not every one's pregnancy. And even those closest to you (i.e. your husband, best friend, family) aren't as obsessed with it as you are. Try to keep your perspective when you are around them and make them feel as important as you did before you were pregnant.

And on a different note, I should have some updated belly pics in a couple days.
