Update

Well, my third trimester is just around the corner. I'll be six months this Saturday April 18th, which is the day we leave for Hawaii! Yay! The baby this week should be the size of an eggplant. She is a little longer than a five dollar foot long (13 inches) and just under 2 pounds (1.9 lbs). She has been moving SO much lately, it is such an amazing feeling! The best is when I can feel her on both sides of my belly, like she is in a full on stretch! Anyway here is a picture of my belly today:
(I have more pictures to come but I can't find the cord to my camera so pictures from my phone will have to do) Alot of people tell me I'm small for being six months; so far I've gained about 16 pounds, but wow am I getting big! The other day I was trying on clothes out of my closet to see what I can take on our upcoming trip, well not much fit. So I made my way to the mall with my mom and tried a bunch of stuff on. It's funny because I was prepared to gain the obvious baby weight, but I don't think your ever really prepared! I don't know how to explain it. I know I'm getting bigger but I didn't know how big I had actually gotten! It was refreshing when I heard another prego lady in the store trying stuff on say to her husband, "Look how big I am, when did this happen?" Pregnancy has been a lot of fun for me, it's been a really good experience so far and interesting to see how it affects me. My body is changing every day and I feel great! But let me just say how much I love my mom. She is SO amazing!!! She knows how frugal I've been about spending money lately and she knew that I needed some summer clothes that I could be comfy and cute in so she bought me some stuff that fit my new baby body and she even bought me an adorable swimming suit! I can't wait to go on this vacation, it is very much needed! It's weird to think this is our last vacation just as me and Zac with no kids! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure vacations are great with kids too, but believe me we'll be enjoying every last minute of it! :)
