I am 24 weeks this week but the latest picture I have is 23 weeks!  We just have a hard time remembering to take pictures.


I only have a few minutes to post this so I'll just write a bit...

My mom came to visit a couple of weeks ago and it was FUN!  And she bought me some badly needed maternity clothes.  Oh--and she cooked Salmon for dinner one night and I ate it!!!

I have been feeling great lately, except for that super nasty ear infection I had a few weeks ago.  They couldn't give me the numbing ear drops because I'm pregnant but at least I was allowed to take oral antibiotics to get rid of it.  It was soooo painful.  It took twice as long to clear out than it usually does.  I eventually discovered that chewing gum was the best way to relieve the pain.  Lately my feet have started swelling.  I'm going to try eating less sodium and drinking lots of water and see how that helps.  And of course put my feet up when I can!

John is reading "Husband-Coached Childbirth" by Robert Bradley and has really been learning a lot about what goes on during pregnancy and labor.  He even teaches me stuff that I didn't know!  So cool.

Anyway, I'll have to write some more about what we've been up to and post a picture of John's new super handsome hair cut.  (Speaking of hair, notice how long mine is?  I can't decide whether to sell it, donate it, or just cut 6 inches off.  I hope I can decide soon because the length is really bothering me!)

Wow! You look great... I'd say you are expecting a baby! I'm sorry to hear about your ear, that sounds horrible.

Are you sure you aren't wearing that fake stomach from the maternity clothes store?

haha your mom's comments are always hilarious.

I think you should cut your hair off. I just did and it was liberating! :)
