We’ve finally given in and we have now upgraded to Premium.  We hope to put up pictures soon with “my” camera that Israel got me for my birthday last year.  I say “my” in quotations because he begged me to let him buy me a digital Rebel.  (For those who haven’t caught on…HE wanted the camera and used my birthday as an excuse to buy it so he could use it!)  I’m not bitter though.    Anyhow, we haven’t used it much because we lost our battery charger for several months…but Daniel & Kerri so graciously let us charge our battery with their charger so, now we can use our camera!  Hopefully the upgrade will inspire us to take more pictures with Israel’s — I mean — MY camera. 

On being pregnant…I’ve been getting random calf cramps in my legs when I stretch in the morning.  Just one of those pregnancy symptoms that seem to have no apparent correlation to growing a baby!  Anyhow, I weighed myself this morning and I have succcessfully gained 10 lbs since pre-pregnancy!  I think that’s pretty normal weight gain for a first time mother.  Usually first time moms take longer to get big.  I am in my 23rd week, which means I’ve entered into the 6th month.  The baby is moving around so much.  The movements are getting stronger that Israel was able to feel the baby move the other morning.  Maybe Israel can give you guys more commentary on that experience.  The baby is still small so the bigger movements that we feel are when the baby actually does somersaults.  Feels like a fish squirming around my bladder. 

On baby room preparation…a big THANK YOU to John Yoon and my bro, Justin for finishing up painting the baby’s room.  It is a color called “soothing aloe”.  It looks really nice.  We didn’t get a chance to put the room back in order last night, but it will be nice to finally have that room available to use.  Israel and I started painting it maybe like 3 months ago and we haven’t used the room since then!  Now, for all of our over-night guests (like Jeannie & Jen this weekend!!) you’ll be able to sleep in a bedroom and not on the office floor…at least until the baby comes!
