A Little Update with a lot of Good News

First off, I love my life. I really truly do. Everything seems to be gong swimmingly. I am very blessed. The pregnancy is going incredibly well. Little Ele's kicking so often and I adore it. I woke up in the middle of the night last night to her just kicking away and I was so excited. I haven't slept well in the past anyways so I'd much rather wake up to my little baby kicking me than severe back pain or something like that. I have also been doing great in regards to my health throughout the pregnancy. I am almost 25 weeks along and I still have yet to gain weight in fact I am continually getting smaller. I love this fact and even more importantly so do my midwives. :) They are so proud of me for eating really healthy and enough for the baby. (I would never try and lose weight while pregnant) But when you have more to loose and your eating habits change because a. I want to be healthy for my baby, and b. because that's what the baby likes and wants, It basically threw me into fantastic eating habits. Multiple meals a day lots of lean protein, fruits, and veggies. I am loving every moment of it.
I for the first time in a very long time looked at myself in the mirror and was excited about what I saw. I felt beautiful and that hasn't happened in awhile. I am slowing transforming, I would say getting smaller (parts of me are) but basically I'm transforming from an overweight person into a beautiful pregnant woman. I love that my belly is starting to truly look like a pregnant belly instead of a fat belly. I wanted so badly to look pregnant and be a cute pregnant lady and I truly feel I'm getting there.
My sister Anna got married and it was a wonderful sealing. I cried like a baby (again pregnant remember ;) ) She looked wonderful and I really like Matt he treats her the way she should be treated. It was a nice relaxing day and I got to do the flowers. I'll try and get pics up later... I'm also working on getting my website up and going. If you know anyone who would like to have me do flowers for their wedding or small funeral arrangements, I'm looking for some to do, at cost, to build my portfolio.
Alright so this isn't the shortest post ever but there's your update. Oh and as far as my nesting is going. We have officially finished our main floor. And we're on to the bathrooms and bedrooms next. Our pantry looks amazing! and so does our front room. :)
