Belly Shot!

I was sick the entire week after Halloween. Being sick is never fun, but it is especially tough when you are pregnant. I don't usually take over-the-counter drugs even when I am not pregnant, so that wasn't as much of an issue. However, mucus secretion increases what feels like 100 times when you are pregnant and colds linger a little longer! Luckily I have the best husband in the world. Justin nursed me back to health and I am on the tail end of this thing!

I thought I would post our first belly shot since I am starting feel huge. This picture was taken at 22.5 weeks. It's really weird to go from a flat stomach to barely being able to see your feet in just a few months. Apparently this belly is going to get bigger - yikes!


FYI for pregnant women or women planning to become pregnant the best pregnancy item EVER is the "Snoogle" body pillow. I was having a little trouble getting comfortable with this new belly so Justin surprised me with a special body pillow called the "Snoogle". It's AMAZING!

Baby J measures about 10-12 inches and is a whole pound! His muscles are continuing to get stronger every week and the eyelids and eyebrows are developed:) Justin felt his first kick (or punch) last week.....SO EXCITING!

You have to be the CUTEST pregnant person I have ever seen.. and I am not even being a biased sis :)

It makes me more sad that I am missing this whole pregnancy, and am not able to physically be there for you... but I can't wait to see you two and baby J at Christmas... and in January and March too!!

Love Aunt-T

Uncle B is finally writing a comment, so you can see that I have been visiting your blog square-bear!!

I can't believe you are still exercising regularly, I think that's awesome, and definitely supposed to help you along the way.

I have a feeling that baby J is going to be the next Shaun White after I teach him how to snowboard, as soon as he can walk upright!!

Aunt T - Baby J is really excited to see (hear) you over Christmas! My belly will for sure be huge by then!

Uncle B - Daddy (Justin) will probably hope snowmobiling is his preferred winter sport, but you like that too:)

Sara! I just bought a Snoogle today before I even read your post! Glad to hear it helps, they say it's the best pregnancy pillow. Love the bump picture, so cute :)
