Over halfway! It seems like I can see my belly getting bigger every day at this point...and based on the fact that Will sometimes can't help laughing when I get up, I think it's probably true. I can't even imagine what it'll be like in a few months...woof.
As a sidenote, now that I'm probably going to be on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy, I have crazy ideas about how active I would be if I wasn't. You know the classic mindset "I'd totally be training for a marathon, if not for this newly-sprained ankle"......I literally have dreams about yoga and pilates and elliptical machines now that they're off-limits. So special.
I don't think I've had especially odd cravings lately; chicken noodle soup and salads basically always sound good, as does chocolate milk at night....and now that I think about it, I did ask Will for sauerkraut last week. (Hard to make that one sound normal.)
I know that they say that babies get most active when the mom is resting...this baby is taking advantage of the fact that I rest around the clock by kicking kicking kicking (interspersed with rolling and pushing against my tummy) all the time. Between that and the fact that this is how Darcy likes to nap, I feel like there are pretty constant demands on my attention:
But at least they're both cute.

Prayers for you during this long wait, but I'm so happy to hear that the baby's nice and active and that things are going (relatively?) well! If you need more reading suggestions:

Thank you for your prayers! We're so grateful. And I LOVE "A Soldier of the Great War"... I think I've read it six times by now :)
