2nd Trimester here I come!!!

Dear Hope,

August 24^th ~ Today marks 14 weeks… I am officially in my 2^nd trimester and loving every minute of it!!!! I am still very tried and some days have the yucky nausea but nothing I can’t handle! It has been so fun telling everyone and showing off my “bump”!!! I can’t even express how happy Brian and I are and already counting down the days until we meet our baby girl.

I have posted some “belly” pictures and as you can see I am growing by the day!!! In the one picture I am wearing a pin that says “3 months” – my mom bought me these (while in Arizona) and each month the pin gets a little bigger as my belly gets bigger.
