As much as I would love to be able to shove pregnancy to the back burner right now (our show starts this weekend!), the belly will no longer let me even pretend to ignore it. Things to note:*The baby moves all the time, and seems to enjoy (or at least kick) the boys attempts at contact by hugging, kissing, and generally attacking my belly. Elliot remains the most "in love" with the baby/belly. Andrew and I remain at a loss for names, but excited for the surprise.
*Somehow, after 4.5 years of pregnancy and nursing, I am accustomed to sleeping on my side - though I'd still prefer my back!
*We saw our midwife 13 days ago, and she said I was not measuring any further than I had been at our previous appointment 4 weeks prior. That was good news to confirm that I truly am not any further along nor having abnormal growth. There is still just one baby with a strong heart beat.
*We have another appointment at the end of this month, and then we move to appointments every two weeks! Can the third trimester truly be approaching that soon?! I cannot believe how quickly time marches by.
*I'm still feeling great and rotating through the 6 shirts that actually cover my belly (oh yes, and managing to stain them by all sorts of cooking and eating). If you see me and think I am wearing dirty clothes, just know that they were clean when I put them on in the morning!

Can't wait to see you in one of your six shirts!
Me too! And I hope it might still be clean by the time we meet up!
You look beautiful!
Thank you Heather. When do you guys come back?
Just gotta say, that's a cute torpedo belly. :o) Your family looked cute, with you, on the front row these past couple Sundays. Have a good, safe weekend.
Deanna - I should have Husband take a photo from behind to demonstrate how out front it is =) I've enjoyed seeing you at church too. How is your birthday week going? Hope to see you when we get back (perhaps that coffee date with you, me, and Cherie?).
Yes, coffee/tea date sounds good!
I talked to Andrew about your family getting together with ours, too. Soon! I finally finished school here at home and the girls' classes end in early June. Then my vacation starts - yippee!
I saw Elliot loving and patting your belly before church began. I was smiling all the while. Such a sweetie!
It won't be long - I'd say 'hang in there' but it looks like you already are.... ;)
Cherie - Oh good, then once we get back from this weekend, and plant our garden, we'll both have lots of time to get in some face time. Congrats on another finished year!
Until then, I'll be hanging =)
You look so, so healthy and beautiful! Just looking at this makes me even more excited, I am officially 12 weeks on friday!
Hi Marianne, You look amazing! I'm looking forward to the next update. Are you still thinking girl? I hope your show went well. Thanks for linking to my blog, by the way.
Autumn! I am so excited for you. I think pregnancy is one of loveliest we get to do as women. I don't think I had a bump with my first until 17-18 weeks, but it really will go so fast!
Abby - Thanks for stopping by. I am so pleased to link to your blog. I love reading what you have to share. Hopefully I'll have another pregnancy update in the next few days.
