8 1/2 Weeks and Counting!

So, I am now 31 1/2 weeks as you can see from the ticker at the top of the page. I have enjoyed this pregnancy, although not at much as my first one, up until a few weeks ago. Now, I realize that I do not get as "big" as some people and maybe don't even gain as much weight, but I am definitely uncomfortable and ready for the end. Its hard sometimes to hear how tiny I am compared to everyone else but I know how blessed I am to be able to carry babies so well and to have so few complications. I guess inheriting hips from my Mom's side of the family isn't so bad after all (at least during pregnancy).
I finally got around to taking some updated belly pictures so these are all from yesterday, except the ones with five bellies. Those are of Tk, Tia (who's having twins also in May), Samantha, Chris and I all a few weeks ago.

I'm going back to school next semester! I know the semester starts in April and I'm due May 4th but I'm only going to be taking one class so I think I can manage. I'm both excited and scared to go back after being out of school for so long!

As for the rest of our happy little family, Samantha is getting over a cold and getting three molars in all at once! She is dying to be able to play outside with out freezing. She is still grasping the fact that the baby in Mommy's belly kicks her when she sits on my lap or lays on me. She will get a confused look on her face and lift up my shirt to see what it is. I have to explain that its the baby but I'm not sure she really understands what that means. When we ask her where the baby is though she knows its in my belly. She learns new words everyday and loves talking!

Chris has been busy with school and work, as usual. He is enjoying his classes though and ca'nt wait to start the paramedic program, although it looks like they're going to change the start date to fall. Which is both good and bad but either way he will be pretty busy next semester as well. Samantha loves when Daddy comes home in the evening to play with her!



The one from the front is for my Mom.
