Happy New Year!

Wow I cannot believe it is 2012!  How does time fly by so fast? Last year my first blog post was "Oh, The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss.  I can tell you looking back on 2011 it was a perfect prediction for the year.  Look at all the things that have changed in the last year for Mike and I. 
We adopted Cora.
We both got new jobs. 
We moved from Alaska to North Dakota.
We bought our house.
We are expecting our first Baby.
WOW!! That is a lot for one year.  I have no idea what this coming year has in store for us, other than Blueberry coming that is, in about 60 days!!!

How far along are you? 30 weeks, 3/4 of the way there!

How big is baby? about the size of an Squash! 15.2-16.7 inches long and 2.5-3.8 pounds!

Maternity clothes? yes all the time, pretty much none of my clothes other than my large sweatshirts fit. I am wearing one of Mikes t-shirts today.
Weight -Loss or Gain? Gain, doctor said it was looking good and that is all I am saying...Belly definitely growing, I feel like the Grinch except it is my baby bump vs my heart that is growing.
Sleep: I love sleep currently, now having to get up at nights but still only once. It has been taking a bit long to get comfy and I MUST have a pillow between my legs otherwise my hips kill be the next day.
Any Movement? Lot of movement! Blueberry does somersaults kicks me and punches me on a regular basis.  Mike has felt Blueberry Rolling this past week too!

Food Cravings? Well with all the sweets around for Christmas Anything I can see looks good
Food Aversions? Nope none of those
Belly Button in or out? in but definitely stretching, Blueberry is trying to make and escape out of it

What do you miss: the occasional glass of wine, being able to bend over easily
