Six months has gone by...

Hello everyone who follows our blog. We have been busy this last 6 months with the addition of our beautiful baby girl! We love her so much! We love being parents and we're having so much fun. We've had a ton of exciting changes in our lives and hopefully we can keep everyone up to date...

You Look Better Than Ever

Let me start by saying I understand and am completely fine with the weight that needs to be gained while I'm pregnant. I always tell Spencer I would rather have a healthy baby and I'm not obsessed to stay "thin" while pregnant. I do try to eat healthy and exercise but let's be honest there is really nothing you can do to stop the weight from coming.
With all that said, I have discovered the bonus to gaining weight during pregnancy. The bonus is that as I look at pictures of myself before I got pregnant I look thinner than ever! Any pre-pregnancy size I used to complain about I now long for! Before if I looked at certain pictures of myself and think, "Man I look fat in that picture." I now look at it and think, "I look thin" and "How I can't wait to look like that again." It is a major self-esteem builder and makes me appreciate my size before pregnancy so much more.

You Know You're Pregnant When...

I have been very lucky and really have enjoyed being pregnant (for the most part). But there are a few things I have noticed as I get further along in my pregnancy and I wanted to see if other women have felt this way.

You know you're pregnant when:

1. You keep the Tums on the nightstand by your bed instead of the medicine cabinet.

2. You dread the thought of having to tie your own shoes because it takes so much effort.

3. You try to find the parking spots where you can pull forward so you don't have to back out and try to turn enough to see behind you (I make Spencer drive sometimes just because it's hard to turn around or even check my blinds spots).

4. If you spill anything it ends up on your shirt because your belly is too big to be avoided.

5. After you do the dishes or wipe the counters your husband points out that your belly is wet and you didn't even notice because you can't see the wet part he is talking about.

6. You work up a sweat when clipping your toe nails.

I promise I'm not lazy it is just really amazing how hard the simplest tasks become once you're pregnant and your belly grows so much. Feel free to leave your comments and give a "You know you're pregnant when..." example.

The Pregnant Belly Touch

Why do people think it's ok to touch pregnant womens stomachs? I understand it's a lot bigger and it's exciting but it's still my stomach. Just because it sticks out more doesn't mean I can't feel it when you touch my belly. We don't touch peoples stomachs if they're not pregnant so why do people think it's ok to touch when you are?
