On how everything is awesome

You know how you imagine different phases/moments of your life, what you'll be doing, how you'll feel, how the whole world will be right (or in some cases wrong)? A lot of times those moments turn out so much worse than you imagine (like finding out I was pregnant put me into panic instead of happy contentness) AND other times they are exactly how you imagine those moments to be. Life right now is one of those moments. I'm 26 weeks pregnant and guys life is so awesome. I'm not even sure why except that everything you accomplish when you're pregnant becomes a big deal. Like dressing cute, carrying groceries to the car, exercising, sleeping well, cleaning the house, etc. Instead of just being annoyed at boring chores it kind of becomes a "yeah that's right, I did that and I'm 6 months pregnant, booya!" I'm loving the time I have to spend on myself to work out, or resign myself to the couch because I'm hormonal, cook yummy things, and clean and read and organize. I'm also relishing the time Jason and I spend together where it's just the two of us and we still have all our freedom. 

  Besides that the second trimester has been a dream compared to the first and now that I'm entering the third I know that will get hard (I'm already having back pains and leg cramps and big belly problems) but honestly it has to so I will want to push this baby out. 

I guess mainly I'm just feeling so blessed. Also, another thing to be happy about? This package came in the mail the the other day

Words can't even express how perfect this is and how excited I was when I opened it.

And since I haven't posted many pictures of me with a stomach here are a couple....
