Daily Regime


I grew up taking vitamins... so you'd think it was no biggie 20-some years later to pop some pills. well if you're ever around in the morning and you want to see something pretty comical, just watch me take my vitamins. if i only gag once it's a good morning!

When I was little I'd sit at the kitchen table with my meal-shake (no i did not misspell milk, it was nothing like a milkshake... protein and grainy and all) and my cup full of vitamins, with my mother in the car honking, waiting for us girls to finish our daily intake before school.. it was a rough life.

So now I still find myself staring at these vitamins, sometimes even waiting until dinner to take them. But I do it... all for this growing creature inside me :) pretty impressive how he/she already has me wrapped around their tiny little finger.

The Reveal!


I have waited long enough and can't "hide" the fact that I definitely have a belly. I've also started to get very excited and talk about the future of the Fergon family... so we might as well let the world know and share in our excitement!

Today marks month 4. Within the last two weeks i've gone from "i look like i just ate a huge meal" to "are you pregnant??" comments. We also had our first ultra sound today, which is quite remarkable, in a very surreal way- that God has made our bodies to create and host a human being and what we do in this 9-month process ultimately forms who this person will be.

Technology has also made we wide-eyed. Although my baby is 4.5 inches long I can see almost their whole shape and hear a "strong" heartbeat!

Amazing!
