Ever Expanding Everything!

Andy's Side Profile at 4 1/2 Months
My Side Profile at 4 1/2 Months

I am officially half-way through my pregnancy(okay well now I'm two days past the half-way mark... and if you consider that the Ultra-Sound Tech said we should move up my due date a week because of how large the baby is measuring... emphasis on baby not me...even though I am...technically I could be a week and two days past the half-way mark)!
I can't believe how fast the weeks are flying by now. The first three months seemed to drag on, and now every week seems to fly. I don't really know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I'll take it! So with that being said, and after a lot of, not necessarily nagging, but encouragement from my friend Elise, I decided to update and let the world know (or at least a select few in the world unless there are others who I don't know that are looking at my blog...your lives must be exciting if you feel the need to read this)-- that the baby and I are growing along just fine. Except that leaves me not looking fine... but it's for a good cause.
We also found out last Tuesday that we are having a baby girl-- and could not be more excited! She moves a ton, and Andy has already felt her... it is probably one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced, and it's fun knowing she's there, especially when she round-house kicks me in the middle of Relief Society. So what if people in my new ward think I have involuntary spasms... I'll take any sympathy I can get :)
The majority of our time is spent thinking and talking and planning for when she arrives, so we continue to work and go to school... and I still spend money... now it's just on her. We are getting excited for Thanksgiving as well--- I fly out in a week from Saturday and Andy flies out the following Monday to spend it with my family. It's been about six months since I've seen some of my family members and with a new niece that I get to meet--- I'm really looking forward to this trip (let's face it... I'm also looking forward to not working and all the food that will be consumed... making me less fine... and helping the "Expansion Project".... multi-tasking was always one of my stronger suits!)
