HALF WAY! HALF WAY!!
I know it sounds completely cliche, but I can not believe how quickly this pregnancy is going. I can't believe I'm half way to the due date! In some ways I feel like I've been pregnant (or planning this pregnancy) forever, and then I feel like the baby is gonna be here before we know it and I've got so much to do (graduate, pass boards, figure out jobs) before the arrival.
The baby is still doing soft little movements pretty often. I'll go a few hours without feeling anything and sorta freak out and lie down on the couch and will the baby to move. I'll mentally speak to the baby until I feel a kick "Kick...and kick now...kick, kick, kick" I'll say quietly in my head until the baby kicks or I give up and go about my day. 99% of the movement I feel is to my insides (I'm assuming this is b/c I have an anterior placenta. Am I right sisters?), which is so different from how Piper moved and I wonder if it will feel this way through the whole pregnancy.
I've never really had a pregnancy craving before but twice this week I've been willing to mame and kill someone for a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich. Each time I've indulged my craving and woo nellie, it was nice.
I can't get over how big my tummy feels. I went to tie on my jogging shoes tonight for an evening power walk and I had to do that thing where you tie your laces on the outside corner of your shoe because your belly is too big to lean directly over and just tie your laces in the center of your shoe. Do you guys know what I'm talking about? I looked at my shoe sorta flabbergasted for a minute because uh...I've got potentially 22 more weeks of growth and I'm already having trouble tieing my shoes?
On a completely different note, how pretty is this rose? Patrick has always wanted a traditional rose bush for our yard (he doesn't like Knock Out Roses) and I got him one for our 8th Anniversary (Happy 9th Anniversary today Malloys!) and it is blooming so pretty!

Thanks. And thanks for the card. It was the only card given or received. Sarah I'm worried about how you're going to hide that belly when Mark visits. I've told you how he feels about pregnant women right?...not a fan. Good luck. Don't expect him to help tie your shoes.

Cute wibble tummy. I would like to see a comparison with Pips tummy.
