3 pros of this week: [1] Being in Chicago and seeing my Chicago family and friends! [2] Jelly Belly finally meeting Chicago family and friends for the first time. [3] Steve feeling Jelly Belly for the first time this week! I was laying down on the bed, and Jelly Belly started moving, and I could see my belly move with the movements (my first time seeing my belly move), so I yelled for Steve immediately. He’s been patiently waiting to feel the baby, and Jelly Belly is now big enough for him to feel and see the movements! The look on his face was priceless! My sister also felt Jelly Belly move for the first time! She freaked out and didn’t know what to do, but it was the cutest thing!
3 cons of this week: [1] Not being able to see all of my friends in Chicago. [2] Feeling like a whale… [3] Not getting a good night sleep! 🙁
Looking forward to: Our one year anniversary! Can’t believe it’s been a year already since we got married! <3
