17 1/2 Weeks

Here is my belly as of today. I'm starting to feel really big. I'm beginning to wonder how my skin is going to stretch enough to get as big as its supposed to! I think I'll just run out of skin. Ha ha, thats probably how most people feel.

My most exciting news is that I have felt the baby move now and I feel the baby move everyday! Baby Gerber especially likes music! The baby was kicking around like crazy when everyone was singing in church.

I'm finally getting over my nausea I think. Its nice to not feel like you are going to throw up all the time! I'm so thankful for my health and I pray for all the people who feel sick all the time.

I have started to sleep with about 5 pillows. My joints have become more relaxed lately and when I lay on my side my hip goes out of place. So now I have pillows to support me and to help my hips not to hurt so much.

As you can see we have our tree up and we are so excited for Christmas!:) We got some snickerdoodle cookies that we want to pass around to our friends and neighbors around us. Of course we will have to eat some as well. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

13ish Weeks Pregnant!

As I'm sure you all know by now, I am 13 weeks pregnant! So is my sister Emilee, in fact we have the same due date.:) I decided to add some belly pictures of me. In the maroon shirt I am 8 weeks along. In the striped shirt I am 13 weeks. I'm glad I took the picture back when I was 8 weeks along because I can actually see a difference between the 2 pictures.
Everyone has been telling me that they can't see anything. I think that the nausea is finally starting to subside. I just hope I didn't jinx
it. A couple of weeks ago we got to hear the heartbeat for the first time! It made everything so real and it was reassuring to know that the baby is healthy with a heartbeat of approximately 160bpm.
