17 Weeks

This past week flew by!  Monday was my first day back to school after Christmas break.  On Tuesday my lightheadedness and dizzy spells got the best of me when I nearly passed out during a lesson.  Doctor's orders sent me home to rest.  On Wednesday I drove up to the hospital for some blood work, they're testing for anemia at this point in time.  This sweet little bundle of joy sure has brought a lot of interesting difficulties!  Luckily it will all be worth it in the  end.  


Only 10 more days until we find out what we're having!  


I borrowed this pregnancy update from a friend... It's a fun way to keep y'all updated without having to bore you with all of my blabbing. :)
