Ending 2008 with Big Belly!

Yay, 2008 is almost over!!! It was a very memorable year full of happy times - we found out that we're having a little baby girl, we celebrated our first wedding anniversay, we both still have jobs and life can't be any better! I just hope that the economy improves in 2009 and the world will be more peaceful....

We're almost 26 weeks pregnant! One more week and I'm onto third trimester! Can't believe how fast the second trimester went! Of course, when you're feeling great and having fun, time goes by much faster, unlike the dreadful first trimester! I hear that third trimester is not much fun either - constant trips to bathroom, heavier belly, sleepless nights, etc. But then, we still have so much to look forward to! We have 3-D ultrasound coming up in couple of weeks, we'll be decorating our baby "room," babyshower (yay!), and my ever growing big belly!

This week, our baby is about 1.5 pounds and 14 inches long, the size of an english cucumber. Wow, I can't believe our baby's so tall and heavy already! At my Dr.'s appointment this week, I found out that I gained about 12 pounds so far... So if the baby's only 1.5 pounds, where is 10.5 pounds going to???

Below is my belly pic at 26 (almost) weeks....

you know, I don't really trust the girls that weigh me at my dr.'s office.. Sometimes they say I've gained more and sometimes they say less... Unreliable.. I started to work out by the way.. you should too, it feels much better on my back and helps me sleep too! I've been doing either 30-minute walks on treadmill or stationary bike and then some arm and back weight training... I figure I'll need arms of steel to carry our baby all the time!
