So I thought it was time to let you all know about the pregnancy is. To put it simply, it is great. I had pretty bad morning sickness in the beginning ( weeks 6-15) and then like magic it went away. One day I woke up and I had all my energy back with no throwing up. It was glorious to feel alive again. Since that time I have not one complaint. I still work 8-9 hours a day and make it to the gym about 3-4 times a week and ride my bike around. Running is no longer my main form of exercise, sadly, but the elliptical is slowly growing on me. I must admit that I really miss waking up early to go for my daily run. That is one thing I look forward to doing again. Funny story, last week at the gym an old man came up to me and said "Did you swallow and watermellon seed". I just smiled and "Yup, and it just grew and grew". We both had a good laugh.
Around 20 weeks again
The last week or so I have started loose my agility. I waddle around and can not bend over. I even had to take my rings off because my hands decided to swell up. At random moments through out the day I feel my ring finger to find to wedding ring and freak out. Then I remember its tucked away in a safe place. 
Graphic but it shows the full tummy. 34 weeks
I was always a little nervous about getting pregnant, mainly because of the weight gain and stretch marks. Surprisingly, those "bad" parts of pregnancy have not even bothered me. I can loose the weight and it's not like a was a bikini wearer before I was pregnant. I absolutely love feeling her move around and thinking about what she is going to be, look, and act like. It's corny to say but it really is a miraculous feeling. Nick loves to watch her move around, its creepy but you can see her shift from one side of the belly to the other. I can hardly believe that a real person is in there all squished up. I can hardly wait to meet her. Until that time I am enjoying my restful sleep and lazy Saturdays.
