Brok's 1st photo shoot...

So I'm either really lame & lazy & just didn't want to take him in every 3 months for pictures or just broke (true) or whatever but we had our first experience with the professionals on the 21st... I loved the photographer, she was awesome, most would have just tried to get him to look forward & smile but she did some grea candids... here are the 6 poses we chose... it was very difficult because he was tired (I had to wake him up) & grumpy but they turned out so well... It took us an hour & one of the poses we didn't pick was the 2nd to last of him reading a book & screaming! it was funny but I didn't want to pay money for something I could get at home...

He is growing so fast lately... He has learned to shake his head no & will do it if you ask a question & has started saying MA when he wants me. He will scream it so loud! I love it.... (ps the last one on the right witht the teddy bear he really is long but this is misproportioned because I had to take an 8x10 & shrink it)

As for me, well I'm getting sicker by the moment... I have my good days but wow... I'm hoping this one is like Brok & @ 12 weeks I feel fine... only 8 days left til I'm past the 1st trimester... It's going really fast... not fast enough but fast... I also had to ask for less hours at work... We watched my boys last weekend & then this week since grandma is going to Italy for the month, I didn't have a day off & went from working 9 hours to @ least a 10.5 hour day... which I was not prepared for... I felt sick & neither of them could get home... so we'll see the suprises of this next week... We have our doctor's appointment on Thurs where we'll get to hear the heart... I love knowing that everything is ok... & judging by how I have been feeling, it has taken root in my uterus!

Kevin gets his second book of stuff this week to study for his big test in Sept... He has to get special permission to take leave during the next 5 months while he finishes studying & then takes this test (which is a really big deal & if he fails could leave us jobless....) so we're hoping & praying for him to be able to take leave in June when my little bro comes home from his MISH!!! He's never met Brok & has changed so much in 2yrs that I really want to see him but driving 5hrs alone or paying $99 for a plane ticket for me & trying to take everything for Brok & I was hard enough when I wasn't preg! Pray that we can get it!
