We're still here!

Since Jason is not very good at updating his blog, I figured I'd get on and write a "mommy post". We've made it to week 19 and things are going a lot better than previously mentioned. Although I am still experiencing random bits of nausea, terrible indigestion and the headaches (we won't go into those), it all pales in comparisson to the horrible morning sickness that was the first trimester! I must admit, I haven't been the easiest person to live with these past few months and pregnancy hasn't exactly been the most fun I've ever had, there have been some wonderful things that deserve mention:

1. Feeling the baby move! He/she isn't all that active but I can feel movement about once or twice a day now. It makes me feel so much better to feel something going on in there - don't have to worry as much as I was the first 18 or so weeks and it gives me something to look forward to everyday! I also think that pretty soon, Jason will be able to feel some kicking on the outside, I felt a little something last night but he was passed out...his loss!

2. Maternity pants. I swear, women everywhere should invest in maternity pants for normal, daily wear. These aren't the maternity pants of our parent's day and age...imagine normal pants that ride a little lower and have elastic in the waist. My newest pair even have a zipper and button, look totally normal but are AMAZINGLY comfortable. Don't see any reason to get rid of those post-baby...

3. Knowing at the end of all this there will be a little baby to show for it. I'm not the most sentimental person and thus far my maternal instinct hasn't really kicked in but, I am SO excited to be able to bring the little one home and be a mom - I feel like we have so much to teach and share with him/her that everyday is going to be a new adventure - getting into the thick of the holiday season is getting me all excited for next year because we'll have one more little family member to share it all with!

Well, I'll try to update this blog more often...I know that when I read blogs, it's very frustrating to go months without any news! And, we have exciting news next week, one week from tomorrow is the big reveal. Boy or girl? What do you think?
