The baby is kicking!




Well, I am now 22 weeks along-a little over halfway-and feeling great. Here are some pictures of me and my ever-growing tummy. We plan to take some pictures every month now, so those of you who live far away can "see" me while I'm pregnant.

My regular shirts are fitting very snugly now and I am completely wearing maternity pants. It was a bit humbling to buy pants with elastic waist bands, but I am much more comfortable in them. The baby is kicking a little every day now. It is especially active whenever I eat a meal. We've decided that banana bread and mexican are the baby's favorite foods because it was moving like crazy when eating those.

I am looking forward to my birthday on April 18th. My ultrasound is scheduled for that morning. It will be such a special birthday treat to see our baby for the first time. I will also be 25 years old-goodness my mid-twenties already.

Justin's job is going great! This year, he got a truck for work-a company vehicle. He used to have a loud, clanky van with the words ECOLAB written very largly on the sides, so he is very glad to have a new vehicle.

Expect another post after the 18th with our ultrasound pictures!

Hi Julie - Hope you 3 are doing fine. You look great as a pregnant mom! You both are truly blessed to be parents and will be a great mom and dad. God is so good! Renee and Colin are excited as well - 16 weeks along, a month behind you. Where do you find maternity clothes? Colin and Renee are thrift-minded and would like to find where you can get good deals on maternitywear.
You take care and blessings to you over the months ahead.
Love, Linda
