Hello everyone,
This is my first pregnancy! I am 7 months along and anxiously counting down the days for this little girl to come out. My husband Matt and I are very excited to start our family and to think that she will be here in less than two months is a pretty sobering thought!

March 27th, 2008
So today I officially feel like a whale. Everyone at work commenting on how 'BIG' I look today. That makes me feel special inside.....(insert sarcasm here)........It now feels like I am carrying around a load of bricks, which kick, punch and do the truffle shuffle on my bladder! I am continually losing sleep and I am getting more exhausted by the day. I know I am complaining, it is just a very wierd feeling to have absolutely no control over your body. I feel like little Ella has set a putch in motion to overthrow my body and become a little dictator in my womb. She's a clever one, this fetus......However, everytime I do start to get the grumbles, she never fails to make herself known, whether it be by kicking, turning, sucker punching...what have you. Then, it doesn't seem so bad because I get to feel her, this living thing inside of me. It's more amazing than words can describe.........Today is my husband's Birthday..Happy birthday Matt!!! For your birthday I'm baking you a baby.........;)
