* preggers update! *


yes, i apologize. it is long overdue. i'm now 27 weeks. so what's new? well, the passage from second to third trimester means the return of the dreaded hives. it's still not quite as bad as the first time 'round, but i still get itchy every few days, and they are as itchy as ever. the other thing is that over the last 2 weeks, i've really felt a difference in my growing bump (which is feeling more and more like a whale than a bump). i'm feeling a lot more weight and pressure in my lower abdomen. it just makes me that much more sluggish and the waddle is definately becoming more common.

we're also very excited because besides caitlyn, our little peanut will have two - yes TWO - more cousins to play with! derek's oldest bro brandon and daiso amy just announced that they will be having twins in march! there's definately not going to be a lack of friends to play with. peta's due in 4 weeks, and jacinta is also due in march. love it.

we've been horrible at taking weekly pictures of the bump - it's more like every few weeks rather than every week. but here are the latest:

week 26

















week 27
























there is actually another post i've been wanting to write (unrelated to pregnancy), but i guess that will be another day.
