Week 16 belly shots!

Finally! Another belly shot posting! It has definetly grown A LOT since the last pics. I'm actually starting to look pregnant and not just chunky...YAY! It's just so cool to see my body totally change. Well, hopefully not totally, but you know what I mean :)

I went to Motherhood (a great maternity clothing store) last week and got some cute maternity clothes, so I'm feeling more attractive these days. It's hard to feel cute when your clothes aren't doing anything for you! I'm so grateful the current maternity styles are so cute...no tents for this lady!

We go back to the doctor on Tuesday and we are SO excited! This is the longest span of time we haven't gotten an update on our baby...4 whole weeks! We'll find out for sure what we're having and get to see how much the little one has grown. And by the looks of my stomach...it's a lot. I'll definetly post the new ultrasound pics.

Last night I went to a Christmas party a few of my friends hosted. It was so much fun! I love that several of the girls have little ones at home and offer so much support. It's awesome to be able to share this time with friends that have already been through it. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have them! My friend, Kathleen, even offered to take me to a lactation class once the baby is born. How great is that?!

On another note, this pregnancy is doing a number on my immune system. I read somewhere that a woman's immune system decreases during pregnancy so that it doesn't fight off the baby. I'm definetly noticing that I'm getting sick more. In the past month I've gotten a couple colds and yesterday I came down with a bad eye infection. Yuck! After a trip to the urgent care clinic at 2 in the morning I got some medicine and am feeling much better. It still looks like some one hit me in my eye, but it's definetly an improvement!

More to come next week!
