The Time Has Come

Okay, here we go. The first baby bump picture. A terrible one at that because I took it myself amidst the unpacking mess.
Another thing to report, we moved! It all happened within four days! Wow it was fast and stressful and exhausting! We had help from some amazing people! Shout out to Morgan, Alex, Larynn, Darren, Reese and my awesome bro Brad. These people saved our butts and my back! Thanks again you guys! We have some pretty awesome friends.
We moved into a town home in North Salt Lake. No we did not buy it, we are still renting but it was a steal of a deal so we jumped. It's a two bedroom, twice the size of our last place with a one car garage and a little grassy backyard. We have been here for a week now and so far it's been GREAT for us.
No more construction truck noises every single morning, no more dusty cars and porches from the huge dirt piles on the other side of the wall, no more partying smokers as neighbors, no more mysterious pot smells coming from who knows where, no more waking up from banging on the walls at 5 am, no more trying not to be too loud when friends come over!! Yay, I will not miss apartment living. Now, maybe in the future we will have to go back to that lifestyle but for now I will enjoy every second of life without it.
Pregnancy update: I am about 14 weeks now. Just entering my second trimester and wow it's a beautiful thing. Morning sickness has now faded and body fatigue is mostly gone. My body no longer looks like mine. As you can see from above I am starting to show a little bit. It still just looks like I am fat but I know I am pregnant so I am fine with this pooch.
I also bought my first couple of pairs of maternity pants this week. My tummy was over being dug into by the rim of my pants, followed by a hair tie stretching out over my navel.
Let me just tell you that maternity pants are wonderful. Why can't I wear these at all times? Is there something wrong with that? Because I honestly plan on wearing these when I am no longer pregnant. Wearing them is like wearing stretchy pants at all times! Which means room for a full belly after a great meal, what I have always dreamed of.
Baby is the size of a large orange and apparently moving a lot but I still cannot feel it.
As Braden watches my belly grow, he gets more and more excited about being a daddy. It is the best thing in the world to see that love grow over time. Oh wow this pregnancy thing is just too fun. Honestly, so far I LOVE IT.
Oh yah and one last thing. Tomorrow we are heading to Washington to be with the Harkers for Thanksgiving and we are so excited! We are driving, don't worry we have snow tires. Plus, Braden and I LOVE roadtrips together. We also love Wenatchee. Excited to spend time with beautiful family and friends in a beautiful place.
