Meet my cousin Ty

This my little cousin Ty Miller. My mother wants grandchildren so bad she always wants to babysit Ty! Ty spent yesterday in the wonderful fall of Wyoming with my Mema! Sure wish I could have been there with them to play in the leaves.

Barely there baby bump!

Hey everyone watching! This is a picture from last week when I was going on 15 weeks. I didn't feel up to taking a more current picture for you all. Can you see it? Look hard it's there! This week will be 16 weeks on Monday! Four months!!! I can't believe it! Yes that is a belly button ring. . . :-p

Going on 15 weeks!

This week we'll be 15 weeks pregnant! Our baby should be 4 inches long and weigh 2.5 ounces. He/she is about the size of an apple!

I've gained a little over six pounds and that's been hard for me to handle! Bryan continually tells me, "there's a difference in being overweight and pragnant Laura, you won't be able to run it off right now!" I know it's for an amazing new Barthelmess life!

Outstanding Instructional Strategies Award

On Tuesday, Glendale American Elementary held their first "Amazing American Citizen" award breakfast. Once a month every teacher nominates an amazing student in their classroom and praises them for the job well done! Parents, students, and staff attend the breakfast. This time the administration decided to include three amazing teachers. One teacher was awarded for her amazing vocabulary instruction, a first year teacher was awarded for his amazing class management and I was awarded for my outstanding instructional strategies. We each got a framed award and our principal described why we received the award. I felt very honored and blessed that my administration had notice my hard work.

Monday is 14 weeks!

On Monday both Buzz and the baby growing inside of me will be 14 weeks old! My how time flys.

Another game, another doctor's appointment

On Friday night we joined our church, Estrella Falls Baptist at the D-Backs game. Earlier that day I had my second visit with our baby doctor! I got to hear the amazing heart beat of our first child. Also my headaches have come back and Friday I suffered from an extreme one. So bad that I wanted to leave the game and was sick on the way home! The doctor told me it was normal. . . everyday I thought! Luckily she said they should be going away since I'll be entering my second trimester soon.
