pea in my pod?

feels more like an animal in my belly!

as the baby is growing i'm starting to think the title of my blog is sounding more and more silly. over the past couple of days, i am almost certain that this baby is going through a major growth spurt. my lower back has been killing me! to the point where i wanna cry sometimes. :( i'm trying my best to remember to do my daily stretches but i sometimes forget. the baby is moving sooooo much more now too. at least once every hour and the movements aren't feeling any less strange... in fact, they are starting to feel even more weird. it's to the point where you can see my belly shaking and shifting. eric has been amazed by how strong the movements are. i know this is all a sign that the baby is making much more progress as each day passes but i'm also worried about the toll this is going to take on my body as time passes. i'm officially six months and it's hard for me to think how things will be at 7, 8, or 9 months... eric has been especially supportive (thanks babe!) and i'm so grateful for that.

eric and i don't traditionally celebrate valentine's day but since it fell on a weekend this year, eric was inspired to make reservations for us at our favorite italian restaurant. it'll likely be a very low-key valentine's day as eric has been sick the past couple of days. probably dinner, movie, and then pajama time! happy valentine's day everyone.
