The things pregnancy brings out...

So I just wanted to take a minute and do a quick update on the pregnancy. You all have been so cute with your emails asking how I am surviving. Things are going great, I am just hot and growing bigger everyday. I am no longer going in monthly to see the doc I have and appointment on the 6th then I start my 2 "weekers". We are so excited to meet our new little one, but are in no hurry to get her here considering what are friends have been through with their sweet baby boy, who decided to make his arrival sooner than expected. So I promised Allison she would never hear me complain NOT once. I just thought I would post some things about pregnancy that does crazy things to me as well as what it does to others.


The things pregnancy brings out:

1. What is it about perfect strangers who like to think it is OK to feel your stomach? Seriously!

2. I can't stand in one place for to long or else when I move you might as well whip out the good old oil can to lube up those hips.

3. My kid's are constantly asking how I am feeling or if they can help me do something, Kalli is always saying "Mom you can't do that your are "preg-a-nant" (as she calls it)". Riley will just come in randomly and check on me when he is outside playing. I love it!

4. I swear you see a side of your husband that just makes you fall that more in love with them, they just want to take care of you, it's the sweetest!

5. EVERYTHING I eat some how ends up on my shirt.

6. A perfect stranger will strike up a conversation asking about when you are due, how many this will be, etc. so it has been fun to talk to someone you may not just passing by or standing in line.

7. The cravings... right now I have to say it is 'world class chocolate' at Baskin Robbins (thank heavens they built one at The District)

8. Wearing what feels like the same outfit day in and day out, who makes these maternity clothes anyway? the cute one's are so hard to find.

9. What is it about sneezing anyway? I'm sure you all know what I mean :)

10. The best part is being able to feel the baby move everyday!

I know this is it for us so I am just trying to take it as slow as possible and enjoy. We can't wait to meet her, but in the back of my head I just keep thinking the quicker she gets here the quicker she will be 1 before we know it. Thanks so much to everyone for thinking of us.
