Whoa!!!! There is a baby in here!! 25 weeks/ 6 1/2 months

So I woke up a couple of days ago feeling very pregnant . . . however . . . I wear sweats 99% of the time, so I don't really notice the belly. It wasn't until I got dressed that night to meet the Patricks and The Whittingtons for dinner that I realized my pants are a little tight and my long tee-shirt is getting shorter and tighter. I am still fighting the maternity clothes purchase and plan on just stretching all of my normal clothes till they will give no more!! Word to the wise: invest in belly bands! They are my best friend!

When Jeff took these 25 week pictures we were like "Whoa! There is a baby in there!!!!" This is my first expoused belly picture so if you get sick from it I apologize!! Perhaps all the front weight is how I pulled my back out again this week!!!! It is a good thing I don't have a job bc after the first 3 months of morning sickness, 2 weeks of "bed rest", 2 bouts of my back failing, and strep and the flu, I would def. have been fired :-) However, for some reason when people aks me how the pregnancy is going I still respond "great!", I think you really do forget the bad and only remember the good. (Wow I wish I could say that about some other experiences I have had in life! Ha!) They say that about child birth too but we will see . . . It is still a daily shock to us. I spend most of my time just kind of in awe yet panic that I may not have everything done in 14 weeks for her arrival but I can't wait!!

Up next pictures of the nursery . . . Jeff says I am micro-managing every little step but, hey . . . it's me we are talking about!
