happy valentines day & past the half way mark!

 The only sad part about today being Valentines day is that the heart shaped candy and pink and red decorations start dwindling after today. Who doesn't love February for that reason alone? 

Anyway, I have a pretty handsome Valentine. I am a pretty lucky girl.

We leave tomorrow for CA, so we will be celebrating there hopefully on the beach with the sun on my face!

This is BIG…no, not just my stomach...I made it past 20 weeks!! I feel like time has actually starting moving now! And guess what? I feel the baby now! I thought the day would never come, but sure enough I feel those little pinch/flutters every once in awhile & there isn't a better feeling. I'm excited for Josh to be able to experience it with me! 

I am feeling so so much better, although I have had a couple weird out-of-nowhere throw ups (like at a movie with friends last weekend). Lovely, right? We have another ultrasound tomorrow & I couldn't be more excited to see our little guy again. 

I thought my belly "popped before" but I think it happened again, because now there is absolutely no chance of hiding it at all. I am trying to embrace it, but it is actually really hard for me. It is really strange to not feel very in control of my body. But, I know our little boy is in there trying to grow & it is a beautiful thing.
