Okay... I'm over pregnancy. I'm tired of waiting and just want my baby. :)
Here are a few of my pregnancy updates...
1. My belly is growing like crazy!!!
I've finally officially entered my 6th month. This weekend two people came up to me and told me that I'm 'really' showing now. Last week I was getting dressed and realized that my belt doesn't fit anymore.... I'm getting pretty used to clothes not fitting, but belts?! I was happy to find that Russell's belts fit me great (for now anyways). I measured my belly this week... a whopping 35 inches. Holy cow.
2. Russell felt the baby move!!
Russ finally felt the baby move this week! It was a really sweet moment. He kept saying "I think I felt it... no... did he move?..." Then, he kept poking me and rubbing my stomach to try to get the baby to move some more. I was so excited! I've been waiting for that moment for two months!!
3. I'm incredibly emotional!!
Today there was a rediculous snow storm. All of the roads were closing, so my office closed early at about 2:00. I was so excited, that never happens!! I got home and started folding laundry and watching TLC. The show 'A Baby Story' came on... I bawled my eyes out. The smallest things send me to tears... last week I started crying when one of my clients wanted out of their lease (luckily no one was around; how embarrassing), and any commercial with any sort of sentiment at all will send me for the tissues. It's a good thing that Russell is a very patient person.
4. I've started having Braxton-Hicks contractions
About three weeks ago I had the first one. It freaked me out... I thought that I was having the baby. I started having them pretty regularly after that; probably about 2 or 3 times each day. My doctor said that's pretty normal, and that I probably don't drink enough water (which is true). They're the weirdest thing though... all of the sudden my stomach is hard as a rock. I guess that's one cool thing about pregnancy... I have a super tight stomach, no sit-ups required. :)
That's about it for now. I have another doctor's appointment next week, I'll try to post some pics then.

I would watch the Baby Story and cry my eyes out too!!!
Please post BELLY Pics!!! I want to see your baby belly so bad!!! I posted belly pics so you have to also!
Oh Chels,
With every symptom your were talking about, I totally felt your pain. My Braxton Hicks were bad and started about the same time. I was sure that Haley was coming 3 months early. I sat on the phone with my nurse for an hour. Little freaked out, but this was my first pregnancy and I had no idea what was going on.
One more.... All Eric had to do was look at me cross eyed and I would cry. It is all worth it!
I can relate to all of this Chels! That is so fun!
