Providence Easter Egg Hunt and Other Preggo Fun

Last week we held the Providence Easter Egg Hunt. This was my first event to work pregnant and at almost 16 weeks I was starting to drag a little. It was great fun, as usual, and the kids seemed to really enjoy it. Next year we'll have our own little one to "hunt" with. Yes, I know; he or she will pick up one egg, try to eat it, and that will be the end of the search, but won't it make for a good photo opportunity? The photo above is me and my friend and neighbor, Rebecca-- a fellow preggo who's 4 weeks further along.

Since my last post, we received our Triple Screen results and it was negative. This is a blood test performed on the mother between the 15th and 2oth week and measures high and low levels of AFP and abnormal levels of hCG and estriol. A negative result means I have a low risk of carrying a baby with a genetic disorder, so it's good news.

Also last week, I attended my first Strong Mommy water aerobics class at Baptist Wellness Center and it was fun. I hope I can continue to keep up because I can definitely see how this workout would be hard when I'm further along. This should help me stay healthy and active, and with less discomfort than other hour long workouts.
