I promised a photo of me pregnant to a few followers. I have one (that is SO sad). I told Byron he had to take some of me this weekend. Which we forgot to do. So- we'll have to be more diligent this week! Here is one sample of me two weeks ago at 29 weeks. It's not a maternity dress, but only in the last two week has that really become necessary. I've been able to wear most of my clothes up until a week or two ago. (with the exception of pants. I needed the elastic waist much earlier). 9 weeks to go!




This pregnancy has been relatively easy on me so far. But last week- o my the reflux started. The doctor says its just because the baby is taking up more room and my stomach and lungs are being scrunched up. She also says it's very normal. She also says - this will probably last for the rest of the pregnancy. Yuck. I have now started (trying) sleeping sitting up. Which is impossible. And uncomfortable. Which means no sleep, and let's just say - sub par brain functioning the following day during class/lab. These last two months might be a little rough in the academic department- but I'm not aiming for perfect scores people. Passing will do just fine. I just hope to finish the semester before this baby comes! Dec. 16th is the end. Baby Branch can come anytime after that! (And preferably before the end of the year!)



In other news- one of our neighbors had her little guy about a month ago. He is just so precious. Byron and Johnny were roommates at A&M and we coincidentally ended up living in the same city- same neighborhood- one street away from each other. They are great friends and it will be awesome watching both Byron and Johnny 'grow' into this new phase of life with kids! (It'll sure be different from the all nighter video game expeditions. I hope.) I just love this picture of Byron holding a newborn. I've never actually witnessed Byron hold a baby. (Besides Wyatt Sidden and he was screaming at the time so Byron only lasted for about 10 seconds before passing him over. He wasn't smiling at all like in this picture.) It makes me excited to see the man I love become a father.
