25 week belly

I think these pictures speak for themselves! I am about 6 months pregnant now. We are enjoying Michigan for the most part (besides feeling like dirt poor college students again!). I got a job working at a cafe in a bookstore, which is pretty fun and Aaron is working part time at a grocery store. Definitely not the most glamorous jobs, but they will do just fine for now. About one month down and 2 to go in Michigan (but who's counting!?!?)

We are getting excited to meet our daughter in December and are starting to get overwhelmed with the things we need to purchase and have in place before she comes. Too many options if you ask me!! I've been feeling great, although sleep is getting interesting trying to navigate this belly! But I am trying to take advantage of long interrupted periods of sleep as much as possible.

One thing I hate about pregnancy is maternity clothes. I thought it would be fun to shop for them and get all these cute new clothes, but I leave the store feeling discouraged or cheated. I definitely decided that I am not fond of one store in particular (which will remain unnamed!) because I feel like you have to be in a special elite club to shop there. I would rather shop with the common people. :) And why the heck do maternity clothes have to be so expensive?? Lucky for me, most of the shirts these days work great for maternity, so I can get those anywhere.

Overall, I am enjoying pregnancy. It's amazing to watch my body change (although some changes are less welcome than others). And I feel privileged to be a woman. To be able to grow life inside of me is mind-boggling...what an honor.
