6 Months and Counting...

Another month has flown by and the 2nd trimester has been the best.  No more morning sickness and I feel great.  Honestly, I forget that I'm pregnant sometimes until I need to put on my shoes.  Or when ice cream drops on my belly...I don't know how it happens!  As you can see, my belly has grown and I've gained about 15lbs.  I've also invested in maternity clothes (jeans, dresses, shirts) this time around.  I love wearing the dresses!

Here's Baby #2's first photo at 5 months old.  Looks like he is waving with his arm but that's him kicking up his feet and waving with his toes.  The video we got was amazing.  Like Xander, Baby #2 is very active with strong kicks and punches.  Xander loves putting his hand on my belly to feel his little brother kick around.  Every movement that I feel, gives me relief that things are going well in there.  

Xander and Wil have been super helpful putting the baby's room together. Yes, Xander has his own power drill.  And yes, I'm afraid he will get hurt but I remind myself that he is growing up and I put on a smile.  Xander and Wil put the crib together (Xander's old crib/toddler bed) and look how proud he is.  He makes me so happy!

Happy 35th Birthday to me!  Wil threw me the best birthday picnic, he loves me!  He's an excellent chef and the food was delicious.  I'm so lucky to be surrounded by my family and friends who spoil me.  Thank you!
