i'm baaaack!

okay, it's time. i think an almost 6 month sabbatical is e-nough. don't you?

three big life updates:
1. in january, we found out we are moving to the midwest at the end of the year.
2. april 27th, stephen & i celebrated 6 months of wedded bliss. (it really is blissful being married to your best friend.)
3. may 23rd, we entered our THIRD TRIMESTER of the baby growing business!

...that's right! we are pregs!!

she's a she, & she's kicking with excitement as we speak, because mommy is back on the blog train.

we are thrilled! we love her to pieces, & at a whopping 3 lbs, she already has daddy wrapped around her little finger.

i have been doin' it old school style, writing in a belly book instead of documenting pregnancy on this bad boy, BUT i can say...i love being pregnant.

i'm not overly concerned with weight gain. i can proudly say that i have already put on a healthy 35 el bees in 29 weeks. the back pain is...tolerable. the having to tinkle every 20 minutes is...annoying, but expected since i'm practically drowning in h2o. on the plus, people are SO nice to pregnant ladies. i get to park in super special VIP preggo parking spots. everyone offers to help and tells me how cute i look. (which is the nicest thing to hear when i feel like a blimp carrying a whale on an ocean liner.)

anyhoo...i won't overdo it this first time back, but i have a TON of things to share, so stay tuned.
