7 Months

This pregnancy sure has flown by and I can't believe that in 12 weeks or so, we will be meeting our little baby girl! I think it has been awhile since I've posted a belly shot (probably because we have been gone for the last 1.5 months) so here I am at 28 weeks/7 months pregnant...




I'm feeling great and I'm excited to be in the final home stretch of this pregnancy! I just had a check up with the doc yesterday and so far I have gained 12 pounds total and I am measuring right on track. This makes me terrifically happy... we'll just see how the weight gain fares after all the yummy holiday food that is coming our way. Hopefully I won't lose all self control :) I am still exercising and I enjoy getting a good workout on the elliptical and with water aerobics. I love feeling this little girl inside of me and I can most definitely tell that she is getting bigger and bigger seeing as she has just recently started kicking up in my ribs. I love it!

I haven't done an update on Ethan for awhile but he is SO much fun and is growing up entirely too fast. Who replaced my little baby with this non stop talking and oh so fun little boy?! I'll do a more detailed update later but here are just a few highlights on Ethan.

- He knows and can recognize all of his ABC's. Thank you Dr. Suess for writing the ABC book.
- He was at least "pooped" trained before we left for Europe but that has gone completely out the window and we are back at square one...sigh...
-He loves to play with kids and can share pretty well
-And he LOVES having all of his aunts and uncles home for the holidays!

Someday when I get my computer fixed i'll post on our amazing trip to Europe! It was so much fun and quite an amazing experience, but we are most definitely excited to be home- for a few weeks at least :) Merry Christmas!
