Growing Baby!

Bracken often comes up to me and pats my tummy while saying, "Mom, the baby is growing!" I have to laugh, but it's true. I had a big growth spurt these last few weeks, and I'm finally measuring where I should be. Thankfully I'm past feeling nauseous as long as I eat protein regularly and take daily naps. It's amazing how much faster this pregnancy is going. With Bracken I always knew how far along I was (weeks and days), and approximately how big he was and what was being developed at the time. This time around I usually have to think for a minute to remember exactly how far along I am, and I don't keep track of the other fun information very well. Probably because I already have a very active little guy to chase around all day. But I love feeling our baby move and kick all the time, and we are all excited for this new little boy or girl to join our family!

Shantel--Sorry, I left a response to you earlier but it must not have been saved. I got the necklace at Payless Shoes around Christmas time.
