Yes

Yes. One little word changed a whole lot in our lives! I do have an obligatory picture of the pregnancy test reading "YES" clear as day, but I will spare you, and just trust that you know I'm not lying about having a growing baby on the way. Instead, I'll share the pics of the progress this little guy has made over the last few months.

Incredibly, 25 weeks was almost 5 weeks ago, so I'm quite larger...and due for another photo soon.

I'm really not sure what to share at this point. I could rattle off a list of complaints that accompany pregnancy, but to be honest, from what I have read and heard from friends, I have been incredibly lucky. I had about a 6 week stint of nausea and morning sickness. My husband probably had it worse than I did though, having to deal with me and my very fleeting windows of time in which I actually had an appetite. There were a couple of emotional "episodes" though I would venture to guess that I already had the husband trained well to deal with them, pre-pregnancy. The biggest consistent issue I've been dealing with is acid reflux- which I had never experienced before (and never wish to again)- but it's been more or less treatable, if I stay on top of it.

So all in all, things are well in our world! Our baby boy is growing (at probably a more rapid pace than I would like), is incredibly active, and hopefully is getting ready to make his debut. I will go on record saying that it would be fabulous if he decided to show up early. Not too early- we still have a LOT to do to prepare for his arrival- but a week or two before the anticipated due date would be fabulous. Here's hoping he already knows to listen to his mama!!!
