Growing belly


I almost died when I saw this picture!  It's weird how you can look at yourself in the mirror and know your body is changing, but seeing yourself in a picture is SO completely different.  When I got home from church on Sunday Colton grabbed the camera and was like, "we need to take a picture of you pregnant because we don't have one yet."  I can't believe this is the first picture that we have of me pregnant!  I would have really liked to do one every month and watch as it progessively got bigger, but I never thought about it and when you miss the first couple of months what's the point of keeping track of the other ones?  But I'm glad we now have at least one of my 7th month belly :)

And as it grows, I am getting increasingly miserable.  It really just kind of hit all at once.  I noticed last weekend when I laid down in bed that it was like someone cut off my air supply to my lungs and I couldn't breathe very well at all!  So I have to sleep with 3 pillows to prop the top half of my body up so I can breathe decently.  I know that doesn't sound like a whole lot of pillows, but I am NOT a pillow person.  I like one pillow, lying on my back and sprawled out.  Well of course I have to change everything!  And have you noticed how hot it's been?  Well whenever you think your hot, please think of me and maybe you'll cool yourself off a little bit ;)  And I had heartburn at the beginning of my pregnancy and for the past two months I haven't had any so I thought wow, that was lucky!  WRONG  I have heartburn worse than ever now.  Sunday we had gotten some bbq from the picnic in Lincoln and ate it for lunch and then made chop beef sandwiches for dinner...it felt that if I opened my mouth I could breathe fire, but now I know not to eat bbq for two meals in a row.  I think pregnancy is a wonderful and really beautiful thing don't get me wrong, but enough is enough...COME OUT ALREADY!!!
