Over all, My pregnancy has been extremely pleasant. At worst, quite tolerable. 

Sometimes I get winded walking up the stairs. 

Sometimes I take it personally when someone's car is leaking exhaust ( so MEAN!).

In the beginning, I had a sudden disdain for green vegetables of any kind. 

And when I roll over in the middle of the night sometimes it's a surprisingly challenging shift. 

I'm learning to brace myself for large movements like that...but when you're half asleep you kinda forget...

This morning, when I woke up I thought about all kinds of practical and logistical things, then I stood up and noticed the weight of this critter pulling forward from my center. "Hi, baby"

It's getting REALLY real. 

Upon checking in to the digital world, I am yet again FLABBERGASTED at the support that is rolling in, and I must continue to thank you all for your generous gifts to our new family. We are already nearly 2/3rds to our goal of funding this home birth! HOORAY!

A Great Big Belly Bump, 

Danielle, Dan & Sweet Baby

P.S. Below is a photo representation of why Dan and I will make such (um...) great parents...
