So, probably no one ever reads this thing anymore. If you read this post, will you please comment? That would be great.

For those who didn't know, we're having another baby! It's a girl this time and I am SO excited. Husband is a bit nervous because he doesn't have a lot of experience with girls, but he'll be fine and I'm sure she'll have him wrapped around her little finger in no time.
I'm lazy so I haven't scanned ultrasound pictures onto my computer, so I don't have any of those. But I have a couple of belly pictures. I did those with Jeric, so I feel like I ought to do them with this one too. For comparison, here is the 20-week picture and the 22-week picture from when I was pregnant with Jeric.
My due date is officially February 1, so I'm 22 weeks and 2 days today. I'm expecting her to come sometime the first half or so of February.
20 weeks with baby girl (Sept 14)
22 weeks with baby girl (Sept 28)
The white shirt in the last picture is officially a maternity shirt, so I think I might take all future belly pictures while wearing the same shirt. But I reserve the right to change my mind.
I feel like I showed a LOT faster this pregnancy, and I think I'm a lot bigger than I was with Jeric at this point, but I don't feel like the pictures really show that. I was less sick this time around, too, which was nice, especially since I really wasn't all that sick with Jeric! I do feel like I've been more emotional, and I've gained weight more quickly (though I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that I didn't lose weight the first trimester like I did with Jeric). I really have been blessed with easy pregnancies so far, and I'm very grateful. Baby girl has been moving around a lot lately (I don't feel her as easily as I did with Jeric because I have an anterior placenta) and she's already almost up to my ribs!
Jeric loves giving hugs and kisses to baby sister, and sometimes he sings to her, too. He sometimes asks to hold her, but I just tell him she's too little and has to grow big big big in mommy's tummy before she can come out and he can hold her. He'll be 2 years and 5 months old when she is born.
