Pregnant
We
found out we were pregnant Thanksgiving weekend 2001. Stacy had a pretty
good pregnancy overall. No morning sickness, except for a couple days
when she took her pre-natal vitamins on
an empty stomach. After we figured out that was a bad idea things were
pretty smooth. In the third trimester she had a little blood pressure
issue, and major swelling. Nothing significant enough to endanger the
mother or the baby though. The most negative event, with the obvious
exception of the actual delivery, was that she swelled so much that
she had to have her wedding and engagement ring cut off. That was tramatic,
but they were easy enough to put back together after Carter was born.
At
18 weeks we found out that our baby was Carter and not Elizabeth (or
both). Stacy wanted to know the sex and I didn't. She won. Actually,
by the time we had been pregnant for 18 weeks, I was ready to know too.
