Jessi and Lily at 25 Weeks

 

Back in Butte and Busy Already

We got back to Butte, Montana on Tuesday. We started out early, before 8, and made great time. Jessi thought she'd be the last person to admit this, but it was nice to be back. Home is where your heart is, but Jessi's house is where her stuff is, and she's so happy to be reunited with her stuff. :) We really appreciate Jessi's mom and dad for letting her stay with them for the last 2 or 3 weeks - it was so nice to spend time with them and Lynsey.

One of the first things we did when we got back to Butte was buy groceries and Lily's crib. Mike went straight back to work at the school, so the crib didn't get set up right away, but today Mike tackled that project and in no time had Lily's bed ready to go. Too bad we have to wait another week for the crib mattress to be shipped to Walmart. As the days and weeks go by, we are getting more and more excited to have our little girl show up.

Being Pregnant Makes Me Sick

Pregnancy has been really hard on my body. "Morning" sick? Yea right, more like "All The Time" sick - for 6 whole months. At one point, I passed out I was vomiting so hard. I haven't been gaining weight because I can't keep anything down (even with anti-nausea drugs). I'm not allowed to take my migraine medication, but am still getting mind-blowing migraines 3 times a week.




I felt Lily move for the first time on July 31st; a few days later, Mike could feel her also! She kicks so hard, always in the same spot, that I'm positive I have bruising internally. She always has the hiccups. It is so comforting to feel her little *tic* *tic* all day and night.
