Pregnancy Update

We have been having tons of fun and staying really busy lately. The weather has been so beautiful and we have been enjoying it. But since it is late and I am tired that will be another post for another day. As for the pregnancy I am now 25 weeks and feeling pretty good. I am starting to feel uncomfortable and not sleeping too great, but overall I am just fine. I am constantly feeling this girl move around and I swear she is doing somersaults all day long. I feel like my belly is huge, in fact I just packed up a bunch of my maternity clothes because they wouldn't cover my stomach. If it weren't for Shade maternity shirts that are made extra long, I would have no shirts to wear. At my last appointment at 24 weeks I had gained 8 pounds in one month, Yikes! I think my doctor said that I have gained a total of 17 pounds so far, but he said it was just fine. Hopefully I won't gain quite as much as I did with Ella, but I am not going to stress about it. I am so much more active this time around thanks to my friend Jen, who got me excited about wearing a pedometer and trying to get in 10,000 steps a day. We will see if it makes a big difference come July or August. I have had several friends have babies in the last few weeks and it gets me so excited for our little girl to get here. I am in the process of getting her nursery put together and I will post pictures when it is done. Also, we are almost positive that we are going to name our girl Alice. It feels good to have a name to refer to her as. Thanks to all those who offered their thoughts and opinions, we appreciated it! Anyway, this is me today in all my glory...

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone. This is Ella all dressed up for church last week in her Easter dress. Unfortunately, this was the best picture we could get. I still thinks she looks pretty cute. :) Enjoy!
