I have survived the first 6 months of this pregnancy! Wow time flies, it seems like it was just yesterday when Daniel and I found out, now we only have 15 weeks to go. That doesnt seem very long at all. Overall the pregnancy hasnt been too bad there have been a few surprises along the way that I wasnt expecting, such as, I am surprised my face could get this fat (and I am sure fatter by the the end of all of this), I am surprised that Daniel and I could become even bigger procrastinators (we still havent worked on the nursery), and I am surprised I could become a bigger hypochondriac than I already was! The last one has been the worst, I really feel sorry for my family and especially Daniel for having to put up with me. Every little ache and pain and I swear I need to go to the ER. I am trying to relax, buts its been hard. I suppose it is just all new to me and up until now I have been relatively healthy, now all of a sudden I feel like I have to constantly look out for signs that something is wrong and I just want to make sure that I dont miss any of those signs. Anyway the pregnancy has been normal and healthy up to this point so I need to continue thinking that its going to continue that way. One very healthy signal that I am getting from the baby is all the movement that I feel now from our little girl in my belly. She takes after her parents and is a bit of a night owl. She starts getting active at around 6pm and doesnt stop until I fall asleep and I dont notice it anymore. Its funny because I am only supposed to be sleeping on my side preferably my left side. Alot of times my left hip kills me by the morning so I try to roll over onto my right side but as soon as I do, the baby starts kicking big time and doesnt stop until I roll back over onto my sore left side. Its like she cant wait until she comes out to torture me, instead she has to start now in the womb. So here are a couple of photos that Daniel took of me on the beach in the Outer Banks. We took a small road trip a couple of weekends ago. I am so huge!
