so,
my baby is a bell pepper

[yes, we skipped the avocado and turnip weeks.
quite frankly- YOU try to find a turnip!]

i am about 18.5 weeks and here’s the thing:

i get the buzz now about the 2nd trimester.
i am feeling great
and finally coming to terms with the body that is 3 sizes larger than i have ever been…
i would even say, that besides not having jeans to wear anymore,
i kind of like looking and feeling pregnant now.
the last few weeks have been a battle,
but i am just trying to embrace the fact that i am giving my body to motherhood for the next 10 years or so…
lets pray for a few months of in-shape in-between all the hustle.
maybe cc will want to join me in that 
[seeing as he has put on a few “just to be nice”]
i have felt some pancake flippin going on, 
but no huge movements yet,
and sometimes, if i wait five minutes, the pancakes were just gas after all…
but the big news is,
we get to find out what we are having next week!
so,
just for kicks and giggles, 
we are going to have a poll– and i won’t even tell you my premonitions…
don’t forget to vote, 
and we will share next week when we know who’s swimmin in there
