This isn't the greatest photo I've ever taken, but I was told I'd regret not having any prego pictures of me later so here it is! I'm 6 months pregnant now....25 weeks to be exact. So far everything has been going well. The morning sickness didn't last long at all. Once the first trimester was over, I felt great. This second tri-mester I have felt really good. lots of energy! We have been busy at home working on house projects such as installing new flooring downstairs, painting, replacing light fixtures, etc. I figured this was a good time to do it while I still had energy. Now I'm at the end of the second trim-mester and I'm starting to slow down a bit. Mainly because my stomach is getting bigger and I don't move around quite the same. It's summer time right now and there is a heat advisory in Houston, which means it is hot as Hell!! This is probably the worst time to be pregnant, but we don't really get a choice do we?!?! :) So these days I spend a lot of time indoors either at work or at home. For excercise I run around my house nesting....all the time! I can't do enough to get ready for this baby. Somehow I think cleaning out closets and drawers is going to prepare me for a baby. hahaha. For real though, we are moving the guest bedroom into our office and the office will no longer exist in it's own room. The old office will now be the guest bedroom. I am converting the dining room into a reading room, which will have a desk with a small computer, kind of taking place of the office. Anyway...all this because of a baby!! :) I have a million things going through my mind these days like: how do I change a diaper, what if I drop the baby, how will the dog react to the baby, how will Avery react to the baby, will I ever sleep again, when do I get to have my first glass of wine after pregnancy (haha), what are we going to name this baby? What and who is she going to look like? You name it...I've thought of it! I guess this is what it's like to be pregnant for the first time. I do enjoy it with all my heart. It's totally worth the sleepless nights and the uncomforts of being pregnant. I love that I'm carrying a life that will affect my life, my husband's life, my step-daughters life, my whole family's life, other people's life...it's just so cool! I feel honored by God. Anyway, I'm rambling on. It's been a long time since I've written so I thought I'd check in! In 3+ month's you'll be seeing lots of baby and family pics...so stay tuned!!
