An Update

Hello everyone -
Yesterday (Wednesday) I had my first visit with the doctor, a little late I know, but such are things. I was there for 1 1/2 hours, the nurse went over all the tests that could be done, and everything that had to be done, how much weight I need to gain over the pregnancy (30 lbs!), nutrition and all that. The doctor examined me and said everything is progressing normally, and that I was one of the healthiest pregnant women he had seen (hooray!). I also got to hear the baby's heartbeat, which was 159, but we won't know if it's one or two for two more months. (For those of you who don't know twins and triplets run in my family) Tomorrow I will be officially done with my first trimester and I'm really excited about that - the neasua is starting to decrease and the back aches are beginning :)

Tonight I am teaching a free exersice and health workshop for the city, I have about 30 people signed up so I'm excited about that and I hope it will have an impact on somebody's life.

I am close to being done with my 3rd semester of grad school, which makes it offically half way done! I'm hoping I can finish most of my classes before the baby comes so I'm slightly looking forward to having the computer to myself when Brian is at Basic Training. I should be completely finished by Oct/Nov and I will have to go to Vermount in June of 09 for one week to take a final class and offically graduate.

It has been rather cold here the past few days -40 with the windchill, today looks like it may be a bit warmer at -20 and by the weekend we should be in the positive digits again :)

I hope everyone is doing well!
Meredith
