Baby Update

So after all the fun and games of trying to figure out this blogging thing and posting pictures, I finally got what I wanted....UGHHH.

Here is the photo of the 12 week old "little faraci".
I am at week 18 1/2 and will post the next ultrasound photos in March when we go. Hopefully to find out if it is a boy or girl. No more baby news...excpet I am tired all the time and can't wait to feel it move. I think I feel flutters but no kicking. Kicking needs to come first though...tough soccer players kick!!!

Health teacher on Drugs

So this is a funny story to update you on last weeks happenings.

On Wed I was fighting a major headache so I took my "new" pain meds the doc gave me that are save for pregnancy and work much better than tylenol. I took one at 4pm Wed, and another at 9pm Wed, and went to bed. Unfortunately I woke at 6am to go to work with the same pounding headache, so I took another one at 6:30am with my breakfast of toast and cereal.
Now here is where it gets funny...So I am driving to work and all the sudden feeling sluggish, slow and dizzy. The road is getting further and further away from me...Longer almost. I am thinking the headache pill is having a different effect one me now. I get to work, about 20 min later and can barley get out of the car. I am sluggish and feel like I am floating way above the ground, me feet not even hitting. I weave into work to find my colleague Dave, he takes one look and me and starts laughing because apparently I am not walking in a straight line and I am slurring my words. Needless to say at 7:45am I was lying down in the nurses office unable to teach my first health class of the day. I was in the nurses office until 10am passed out cold. She checked on me and gave me food and water and looked up the meds I took. It was so weird...I have no idea why they affected me so different one day and not the other. ANYWAY...I refused to go home because I felt better and did not want to use a sick day...So I went to my 10:15am Health class. My 7th graders are doing a very large research paper on drugs. I was still slow and unsteady so I informed them of what had happened and they all laughed at me. I told them "drugs are bad" and "you should never take them" "even prescribed drugs can have effects." They still laughed and were very good in class as I sat down and tried to focus on teaching them. They had a good laugh as they pronounced to the whole school that their "Health teacher was on drugs today in class."
NICE eh...If it is not one thing it is another...Baby doing fine by the way...No drugs for it. (Don't be worried the madicine is baby safe--so I am told...that's why I have it)

Hello bloggers

Okay...I have decide that I need a family blog...my brothers have them and they are so much fun to see and read...so here goes.

The Faraci faimly will try and post interesting stories and thoughts and, of course, baby updates on this blog.

Angie just had her 16th week prenatal appointment and all is well. The baby has a speedy little heartbeat and is doing fine. We did bloodwork to check the normal things and any abnormalities...yikes. Angie was placed on anacid meds to help with her uneasy stomach and given stronger headache meds...so all medicated as well.

In one month we have an ultrasound visit to find out if the baby is healthy and growing as it should, and if it is a Boy or Girl...if the baby cooperates and we can get an accurste reading that is. So we will let you know when we find out.

Due date is July 22, 2006...so summer is going to be fun.

Keepin this first one short....I want to get home and walk the doggies... :)
