Life being pregnant

I don't really know where those women are that say they love being pregnant. I can't wait for the end result, but if I could bypass these next 4 months I'd be completely happy. Ed probably would too, with all the complaining I do:) Had to make an extra trip to the chiropractor today just to get my back in somewhat working order and it's still bad.

We had another ultrasound today and things looked good. Somehow about 8 weeks ago, Jen was exposed to and infected with parvovirus, also known as Fifth's Disease. It's ok if you've never heard of it. I'm a nurse and I've never heard of it. But I probably was exposed to it at work and developed some symptoms. So they tested me to confirm and sure enough.....so they told us there's a small chance it can pass on to the baby. Because of that, they're doing weekly ultrasounds to keep a close eye on her. Good news is, all looks good so far. And they told me today probably only two more weekly ones and the risk of her getting it should be gone. Which we are very excited for!! As much as we love getting to see her every week (and we probably have more ultrasound pictures than we know what to do with), it will be nice to know that she's healthy and have this behind us.

Not much else new at the Hamilton house this week. Ed's been keeping busy getting ready for his art show coming up. He painted a portrait of yours truly, which I actually think turned out pretty good. Check out his website for that one.
Have a good week!
