size isn't everything, but...

I'd like to think I've been handling most of the bodily changes and accompanying discomfort pretty well.  After getting a Snoogle, my sleeping infinitely improved. But since I can't sleep on my back, I flip sides every hour or two.  Last night was a low point - my feet are starting to swell, and they look huge!  I soaked them in Epsom salts, elevated them... all to no avail.  I finally gave up and tried to go to bed just to escape the pain.

soaking didn't help :(

D and I are headed to OKC tomorrow to visit our friends, Ashley and Nathan, and we couldn't be more excited.  It's a yearly tradition (for the past four years, anyhow) to attend their son Elliott's birthday.  And since Archer (their youngest) is an early January birthday, they combined the parties and are basically accommodating our schedule so it doesn't coincide with my no-fly period.  After meeting on our honeymoons five years ago, we've been (virtually) inseparable and I wouldn't have been able to navigate this pregnancy journey without her!

I love her!

Up until this point, aside from the morning sickness early on, I've felt like nothing TOO spectacular (aside from the fact that Shaun EXISTS) has been happening that I needed to document it.  But now that our little peanut is moving around so much and the belly is oh-so-apparent, it seemed like a good point to jump in.  Life is going to change in a big way very soon, so I'm going to try to capture all of it. :)

Thanks for coming along for the ride!
