I had lunch with Jenn today after my dr. appt. She kept saying things like, "Maegan, aren't you so glad you're 16 weeks now!" She was right. I was so happy. I just kept mumbling a small, "Yeah." I was almost in shock, I think. I just feel so blessed. All week I've been crying for joy that things are going well. My headaches seems to be getting better, I can feel the baby move, David is doing well at Integrity, and I heard the baby's heartbeat every few days. Jenn has seen me cry so many times, but everytime she would mention that I got through today (16 wks. appt) I wanted to cry. I held it in and just smiled so big. Jenn is the BEST person to celebrate with, although Farrah is a close second. Jenn's joy for me was infectious and seeing her so happy only amplified my own joy. If you know Jenn, I know you can imagine the smile she had on her face; eyes squinting and all her teeth showing. It was lovely! I made my appt (9-14) for my ultrasound and Jenn got me pumped up for that too. She also made me an awesome salad --- OOoOOoo so good. I miss people making salads for me (Courtney!!)

Jenn is doing really well since having Hudson. He's really sweet and really laid back. He even slept 4-5 hrs. for her the other night. I can't believe she had me over 12 days after giving birth!! Her house was even clean. WHOA! People: Do NOT expect my house to be clean 12 days after giving birth. So, Jenn had asked me to hold Hudson while she went to the bathroom. I just held him and stared at him. I reluctantly allowed myself to tell him, "I'm gonna have one of you." I couldn't believe it. It was like I was finding out I was pregnant for the first time. His hands were peeling like a newborn; he stared back at me. It was bliss. Then, Brianna came and held him and he was smiling up a STORM for me. Who cares what they say, he was smiling at me! It was wonderful day.

Elijah has been to school almost 3 wks and has not received a bad report yet! YAY!
Brianna starts classes next week. She folds clothes like a CHAMP now too.
Brianna taught Elsa how to say, "NO!" recently. It's her favorite word now. She says it like she's angry and makes a mean face too. She learned how to say, "yes" too, but she much prefers to say no.
