I suck

I really suck at keeping this blog updated. Oh well.

Happy Mother's Day! It's weird to be celebrating this holiday that all my life (so far) has been about other people. My husband is giving me an awesome spa day tomorrow...I get a pre-natal massage, facial, and mani/pedi. I am so excited! The day has been pretty good, considering our electricity went out at 6 am and didn't come back on until about 2:30 this afternoon! It was pretty darn funny to watch my dad & Alex cook us breakfast without power. It's definitely a memorable holiday.

Tomorrow is the big day--I find out if I have a penis or a vagina inside of me! Our appointment is at 9:30 am, and I am counting the seconds. After we (hopefully) find out what we're having, we're going to register and then I have my spa day. Oh yeah, I guess it's pretty obvious we took the day off work. It's going to be freaking awesome.

Things have been going well. I'm having pretty intense back pain, but overall I feel great! I still have heartburn/acid reflux, but it's not really interfering with my day to day life. My belly is getting HUGE, and I've only gained 4 pounds even though I'm halfway through the pregnancy. I'm happy. I'm eating more healthy than ever, and will start swimming soon. This baby is definitely active. I've felt flutters for a long time, but the past week has been insane! The baby is full-on kicking and doing gymnastics inside my uterus. The funny thing is, every time Alex puts his hand on my tummy to feel the baby, it stops moving! Tricky baby.

In case it takes me a while to update this site with the sex of the baby, check out my pregnancy site tomorrow night! http://pontusfamily.blogspot.com
