I'm pregnant and that is the only thing new in my life...

Newest noteworthy pregnancy news... this kid is moving a ton and I can SEE it!!  On a few occasions I've sat/laid down and simply watched my stomach dance.  It is bizarre.  I think it'll be weird when I don't have anything inside me moving. It happens in the mornings when I'

Some kids I work with are showing my belly more attention since my growth spurt during Christmas break-- and I told a few that I actually saw my stomach move when he kicked.  One said "gross" and then they proceeded to walk around with their hand inside their shirt "kicking" it out.  Being pregnant and regularly seeing 7-10 year olds has been a pretty fun experience!!

While I mostly feel OK because these body changes are supposed to happen- I can definitely agree with that statement.  Your growing body gets SO much attention!  And then you look at the 10 pictures that your husband took of you and can find something wrong with each of them.

((Did you like the title to this post??  I realized it appears that I've become that person who only talks about her pregnant self.  Please excuse that!!  I really don't want to be that-- it's just the only new thing that's going on around here!  And I know there's some people that I don't see everyday who appreciate the update! ))
