as of 7/16, i've known i was pregnant. i'm actually at about 17 weeks now, with a due-date of 3/22.

so, the first trimester has come and gone and it went without morning sickness or anything too terrible; just a lot of tiredness and some food apathy. no weird cravings, no sending the hubby out at odd hours for even odder things. just exhaustion and not knowing what the heck to do for dinner most of the time.

now, i'm in the second trimester and i'm starting to get my energy back. things are good. we've got the twenty-week ultrasound coming up, but we don't want to know the gender until it's born. we like the idea of being surprised and look forward to the experience.

yes, we have a couple of names picked out, but i've been told by other friends who are parents to keep those to ourselves. it's easier than dealing with unnecessary critique or random suggestions.

pregnancy has probably what's kept me away from doing too much art and updating dA much. my apologies, but this is a bigger, more amazing creation than i could ever accomplish with my wacom tablet alone!
