We're Expecting!!!

Joe and I are so excited to tell everyone that we are 12 weeks pregnant! We expect Baby Fait to enter the world May 21st. It is such a special time to have a baby because we have lots of birthdays in May. My dad's birthday is May 21st so it would be really special to have his first grandchild born on his birthday. I'm feeling pretty good. I've been nauseous quite a bit, but luckily haven't been too sick. I'm pretty sure my nausea was caused by the extra progesterone hormone that the doctor had me taking. Fortunately, I'm done taking those horrible things! I'm definitely excited to be out of the first trimester in a few weeks! The pictures above were taken at ten weeks. At this appointment we got to hear the heartbeat again. It was such an amazing experience. If you notice the measurements of the baby, according to books, it is actually quite large for it's age. Just another sign it is definitely our child!

Fait Update!

Sorry it has been so long since I've posted anything! This semester has been absolutely nuts! I'm student teaching and working. Joe is going to school full-time and working full-time. We don't usually see each other til about 10 p.m. It has been so hard! But we are definitely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I am wrapping up my first placement. I have been in a 2nd grade class and I have learned so much. Especially about myself as a teacher. It has been awesome! I will definitely miss the kids. They are great! So sweet. I have one more week in 2nd grade and then I go to 4th grade. I am so excited to 4th grade! It will be nice to teach kids that are more independent! I will finish the 4th grade placement the week before Thanksgiving and then I'm done! Yay! Joe has this semester, and then the spring semester and he is done. We will both walk in May! What the heck are we going to do??? It will be way weird not going to school! But it will be so nice to see more of each other! We hope everyone is doing well! We miss everyone and love you all lots!

Glasses anyone?

Here is a perfect example of why you should always wear your glasses if you can't see far away...

But, make sure you notice who won! Even without my glasses I can still kick his butt!

CALIFORNIA

We had a great time in California! We spent 2 days at Disneyland/California Adventure, 1/2 day at Universal Studios and then a Dodgers game, we did a day at Sea World, and two days at the beach. We were way busy but got some time to relax too. It was so fun to spend time with the family and just hang out by the pool. This vacation couldn't have come at a better time. With lots going on... we were able to take our mind off things in Cali. Here are some pics... More to come...

Surgery...

For those of you who don't know.... I had to have surgery last Monday, July 6th. I had two cysts on my fallopian tube. I went to the doctor because of some cramps and left there rushing into surgery. The doctor was able to drain them and he assures me they won't be back. It was quite the day. I've never had surgery so I was terrified but was so blessed to have Joe by my side to calm me and help me get through it. I am doing better now. My incisions are sore and I'm not up to full strength, but I'm making it through. Last week was quite eventful and I couldn't have made it through without my amazing husband, and our families. Thanks for all the prayers. Luckily, we leave for California on Friday which just happened to be perfect timing! We need a little getaway! Love you all!
