here is me...at 23 weeks!

So, I have this funny look on my face because I finally decided to take a picture of my belly, which I don't feel "exists" enough to really merit the worth of a picture, but here you go. I also have that look on my face because I have been out of it all weekend. I think my body is trying to fight sickness so I have just been overly sleepy all weekend long.

Yesterday (Saturday) I couldn't stay awake for longer than 2 or 3 hours at a time before I would take a nap. I woke up at 8 because my cousin was leaving our house, so I wanted to make sure all went well. She left at 9 and I went back to bed until 11:30. Then I got up and got some things done, and ended up falling asleep in the chair downstairs from about 2 until 4. Then I was up until 6 or so, and slept again until 7:30. The BYU game started at 8 and I watched that until almost 10, when I fell asleep yet again, and slept until my husband kindly woke me up, walked me upstairs and tucked me into bed (I don't know what time it was), and I fell asleep very easily. I don't even know when he came to bed. I slept until 9 this morning, with no problem at all. What is the deal? I know many people have been telling me that I am pregnant and might have a hormone imbalance that is making me sleepy, but I really think it was more than that.

Anyway, we are good tonight, my husband and I made a fine Sunday dinner as a team, and we enjoyed it together. I am lucky to have such a happy, helping husband! It doesn't get much better than this. So, enjoy the picture that I still feel does not have enough worth to be posted, but many people have been asking. I don't feel that I look pregnant just yet, so I just hope I don't just look fat.

Oh...PS...my husband, this last week, felt the baby move for the first time. I was talking about how it was moving and so he put his hand on my stomach. As soon as the baby moved, Richard looked at me with wide eyes and asked, "was that the baby" and I said, "yes sir". Richard was very excited! It was a happy moment!

Happy Sunday! Have a good week.
Life is so good!
