So, it's been a while since I have been able to post but with Bachelorette Parties, a trip to New Orleans, Birthday Parties and Bridal Showers too, I have been a little on the busy side! I think the best thing to do is just to add a few pics of the fun couple of weeks that I have had and start fresh from there....PS, I am not leaving Mike out of these pictures on purpose. Unfortunately, most of my activities were without him, but don't think he didn't have a little bit of fun too. He got to go to Arizona with the boys for Ryan & Pete's combined bachelor party...I am sure he has lots of great stories to tell, but unfortunately, he didn't bring any pictures of the evidence home!!!

I am in my second trimester now and feel absolutely great. Most people say I should have tons of energy now, but I am still pretty tired. Other than that, my early pregnancy symptoms are all gone and I am feelling very blessed that this has been such an easy going pregnancy! I wish there was more to say but so far, I sometimes forget that in just over five months, we will have a little baby to wrap our arms around!

What's happening with the baby this week: The baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). He's busy moving amniotic fluid through his nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in his lungs begin to develop. His legs are growing longer than his arms now, and he can move all of his joints and limbs. Although his eyelids are still fused shut, he can sense light. If I were to shine a flashlight at my tummy, for instance, he would likely move from the beam. There's not much for him to taste at this point, but he is forming taste buds.
