Here are some stats:
- Waist: 38 inches....and growing
- Weight: gained 17 pounds....and gaining
- Pregnancy woes: heartburn (since about 20 weeks or so), leg cramps, nausea (only occasionally since week 15), fatigue (2ND trimester rocked! I'm needing a daily nap again...if only), wearing the same clothes over and over and over again...
- Pregnancy joys: feeling our Little Rascal kick, punch, and squirm, good complexion, excitement in the addition to our little family, no complications
- Food cravings: Soft pretzels, crisp bean burritos, fruit
- Food aversions: chocolate (love it, but hate the heartburn), hamburger (I just finished cooking 12 pounds of hamburger for the ward party....I don't think I will be able to look at raw red meat for a VERY long time!), anything I cook looks disgusting...
For the most part the baby isn't too much a factor in Jaxon's little universe right now. He will usually give the baby a hug and a kiss daily and he is really sweet to not "bump" the baby. If he does, he will come over and kiss my belly and say "Sorry baby!". I'm going to sign him up for a big brother class at the hospital. I think it will be fun, but we'll see. Jaxon loves other babies, especially his little cousins. I'm excited to see how he responds to the baby that is going to be joining his life permanently.

Your belly is so cute! I can't wait for nephew number 8! (well, 8 total, only nephew number 6):)
You are so cute I cant wait to see you guys it needs to happen before the baby comes and your even more busy than now!
What a cute little belly! I used to be jealous of little belly pregnant ladies but then I realized that babies are pretty much the same size and they have to be in there somewhere. So very fun to grow a baby.
Only 17lbs, sheese, you're my inspiration! Dito on cooking hamburger and having to wear the same clothes, oh wait, I'm not pregnant, Crap!
Ya those leg cramps are a beast - good luck for the home stretch!
