Best Moment this week: This week people have started to ask when the baby is due and comment if they didn't know I was expecting. So, I guess I finally look pregnant, even to strangers, which is kind of nice. Especially after someone commented "Oh, now we know you aren't just fat." Aren't people kind? Another moment this week that was kind of fun for me was at the doctor's office. The OB nurse was trying to find her heartbeat and was poking around kind of hard with the probe cause the baby kept wiggling away. One thing we have learned about this baby is that she does not like to be poked and prodded. She gave the nurse a huge kick and we got to hear it over the speaker. It was so loud the nurse jumped! This one may be a little feisty...
