Well in two days I will be 16 weeks along making 4 whole months of pregnancy. The things I have enjoyed the most so far about being pregnant are first not having a period (mine were not pleasant when I had them) and second but most of all how much closer I feel to my sweet husband. Being pregnant has kinda helped us to break down some communication issues we had and helped us to become more team oriented as we prepare to become parents in 5 months.
Every thing with the baby still feels unreal to me even though I heard the baby's heart beat last week. I think when I heard it I was expecting to hear like a squishy swooshy weird sound and I was actually shocked when it sounded like a real heartbeat only faster. It all kind of blows me away but it still feels like it's not real mostly because I am still living life as usual I just started classes last week and I still fit into most of my clothing I read a lot about baby stuff but I did that long before I was pregnant. I think it will feel real to me when I can feel the baby moving inside and when I see my tummy looking a little more pregnant and a little less like a had a large salty lunch.
I went to education two weeks ago at BYU it was really nice I learned a lot about how to be a good wife and mother. I'm so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ that lights the way in a confusing world. There is so much hope amid all the scary things my kids will have to deal with growing up and I am eternally grateful for my parents teaching me the path to follow so that I can show my children the path too.
In other news the school semester that just started its going to be very difficult. I will have a lot of home work and time consuming homework at that but hopefully I will learn to be a better artist though it all. My painting teacher is obsessed with teaching us how to grind our own paints and become like Rembrandt or Di Vinci, not to mention he gave my husband a B+ in his drawing class and now he cant' get into Harvard Med School because of it, I will try to put my bitterness aside and learn as much as I can. My drawing teacher is nice but he is going to have us spend the whole semester on two large projects and read books and talk about emotions and feelings and stuff which could be fun and sounds like and easy A but I think I will feel more like and English major than a person who is trying to learn how to accurately draw the world which I will be expected to do. My other drawing class is focused on drawing the human head I hope she teaches me how to do it better I am worried about her class because she wants all the home work drawn from life ( 100 sketches and some large projects) and well, it is hard to get people to sit there for a half hour or more so you can draw their head especially when you suck at it and you are going to be too embarrassed to show them the picture in the end. I also have an illustration class that will be very demanding, I hope I can learn to organize my time I guess it will be good practice for when the baby comes.
Well that is it for me for now happy Labor Day tomorrow!

Sounds like a very busy semester! Good luck!
Can't your husband retake the art class to get a better grade so he can go to the school he wants to? If you are ever up this way maybe you can draw my head. I will hold real still.:) When do you find out what you are having?
