Quick note from Laura!

Hey, Laura here!! Just had another monthly appointment on Friday! Everything is still looking good. I have gained 11 lbs so far!! That's about 4 more than my last appointment, whooops!! I've noticed some of my maternity pants are getting tighter, and it's getting a bit harder to stand up :) But I just keep reminding myself how much bigger I will get!! My belly measured 23 cm. Heartbeat was 140. Tomorrow I'm going to go in for my routine glucose-screening test.

Ian and I sat down and looked at our list of names.....surprise, Ian's favorite and my favorites were totally different!! We will find one, we will.

I can't believe how much chocolate and sweets i've been craving.......REALLLLLLY craving. If it's chocolate, cookies, pudding, cake, ice cream, I have to have it!!

Kicking up a storm!

Sorry I haven't written in a long time, but I guess no news is good news :) I have been feeling SPECTACULAR! Probably a combination of being out of the morning sickness but still not too big to maneuver myself around. And sleeping a lot. Most of the time I don't even feel like i'm pregnant!! But then baby Belanger kicks me and I remember again. Particularly when he kicks me in the bladder. That is a very interesting feeling!! Basically I feel like I have to pee really bad whenever he does it :)

I had the most wonderful time in Michigan! I got to see a lot of family and friends. I am very homesick...eventually we'll be back...I hope!! Thanks to my mom and dad and sisters for putting up with me for 10 days, haha!!

Below is a video I found on one of my baby websites that I thought was pretty awesome! I wanted to share it with everyone. Just for reference, i'm about 23-24 weeks.
