Becca has been very tired of late due to The Playere to be Named Later sucking up a lot of her energy. Being the nursing student that I am, I told her that her blood volume is increasing by 50%, but unfortunately , she lacks to corresponding increase in the number of red blood cells. This leaves her with a condition of physiological anemia, which is normal. Once the placenta is more develpped, she should feel a bit better and not so tired anymore :):) Please, don't anyone tell Becca how big of a dork she is about to marry!! I think our first child, Gus, is having sympathy fatigue in support of his mommy. I think I had some sympathy nausea this morning, although Becca hasn't had much of that yet. Maybe it was fear of my about to begin finals week at school.
Anyway, things are going well. She has been searching for a baby-changing table for the house and I have begun researching the benefit of cloth diapers versus disposables. Becca has started her prenatal vitamins that we got last Tuesday at the first ultrasound and I still take my Mega-Man vitamins because I want to be a strong (soon-to-be) husband for Becca and a father to our little Player!!
This blog was intended for updating you all on the baby, but we decided we should share a few wedding photos from Saturday (May 24) for those of you that were not there.
This is all we have for now, and we are leaving for Italy Monday, so you will have to wait until we return for more! We miss all of you!
Well, here is Becca at the end of 8 weeks. In regular clothes, there is no noticeable bump, but with nothing covering it, there is something there. Especially when we compare her belly to pictures from when she was 4 weeks pregnant. We are very excited to have the photos every week to compare, and Becca has already started putting together a book on Shutterfly with weekly updates we can someday show our little one!
