Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
I have enjoyed the last few weeks celebrating the birth of Jesus, spending lots of time with family, and eating lots of GREAT food! My mom is an AMAZING cook and every time I come back from visiting them, I swear, I gain at least 5 pounds. This time though I don’t really have to worry about losing it. For once I don’t have to make a New Year’s Resolution to work out, get in shape and loose a little weight – in fact, being pregnant, I need to be gaining weight to have a strong and healthy baby! Woo-Hoo!! Not that I am going to go crazy and gain tons of weight, that’s not good for us either.
Anyway, here is my first baby belly pic, taken on Christmas Eve. I was basically 15 weeks along (on Christmas).
Jer was talking to a friend of his last night and said, “I already feel bad for this baby because we don’t even think about it. Every few days I’ll say to Em, ‘Oh yeah, you’re pregnant.'” 🙂 I, of course, remember that I am pregnant every day – but already this baby is falling prey to second child syndrome. I was taking belly pics at 10, 12, 13 & 14 weeks when I was pregnant with K, and now here is my first pic, at 15 weeks with Baby #2. Well, I guess some belly pics are better than none at all, right?
I hope everyone has a very Happy New Year!! I am not one to make resolutions. I have tried in the past, and they never last very long, so I have just kind of given up on that. I am going to try my best though to blog more often than I have been lately. I would love to look back at the end of 2009 and be able to read about my thoughts and feelings and happenings in my life over the next year!
