Pregnancy Update

I'm about 19 weeks along and definitely LOVING being pregnant. I thankfully never threw up once and am very fortunate to have had an easy pregnancy so far! (knock on wood). I do get tired earlier at night and my running pace has slowed a bit and now includes some walking breaks, but overall it's awesome. And yes, I'm trying to avoid maternity clothes as long as I possibly can. Working from home definitely helps with that, but here's a tip for my friends thinking about starting a family; get a good belly band! It allows you to not have to button your top button to stretch your normal shorts/pants longer!

On the BEST note, I've finally started to feel movements in my belly and can even feel them with my hand when I press in that area. Derek has also felt them with his hand and we both can't get over how amazing the miracle of birth is. I feel him/her mostly in the morning when I wake up and then at night when I'm laying down relaxing. I LOVE it.

Stay tuned as next week we find out what the sex is going to be! We both kinda think it's a boy, but would obviously love either the same.

What do YOU think it is?
