Oh boy! I'm 6 months along and nearing the end of my second trimester. Time is moving fast! I feel like we have lots to do but it's not too overwhelming (at this point). I had my first baby shower this week given by Brent's co-workers. It was so sweet of them to do! Baby got some cute clothes and diapers (yay!) Now for the weekly pic :)

Week 25

Baby is the size of a BIG eggplant! He weighs nearly 2 pounds! He's starting to plump up and so am I! I feel huge and I still have 15 more weeks to go. We have a list of our top 5 names for the little one but we're waiting until we see him to choose his moniker. For now, he's "B2" (I call Brent "B").
