Since my last belly update I have certainly grown. LOL I'm starting to really like my bump. It's so fun. I had a conversation with my friend Brooke the other day (she has a 5 month old) about the things people say to you when you're pregnant. So far I've gotten "are you sure there aren't two in there?", "with this fast paced world I think mothers shouldn't find out what they are having" (said after I said I couldn't wait to find out) "you're huge", "you are showing a lot", "I didn't get sick at all". Anyway, I just had to get these out there. Mainly because it's funny. If I didn't have a husband that told me how beautiful I am while pregnant these comments would probably get to me, but most of the time I feel cute and I think that is good enough. :)
My morning sickness has started to subside. Praise the Lord!! I seriously wanted to die. I still take some zofran only when necessary. I'm also starting to get that second trimester boost of energy, which feels great and helps me get a lot done with the photography. Sleeping has gotten better as well. I bought this pillow called a "snoogle" from target and I love it. It's this cylindrical pillow shaped like the letter "c". In fact, Matt calls it the "letter c". He's not such a fan b/c we can't snuggle when I'm wrapped up in it. LOL poor fella. Last night we both got a chuckle because I said, "I'm sorry baby, but I have to sleep with letter c tonight". I guess you had to be there. :)
Last week we went to the doc for a check up and regular testing. I am proud to say that so far I've only gained 5lbs! I'm very happy about that. :) We also got to hear the heart beat and it was 155bpm. I absolutely loved that sound and started to cry when we heard it. Matt just held my hand with a big grin on his face. love him.
So finally here are some pics taken this past sunday on Mother's Day at my in-laws house. I got so annoyed with matt because he wouldn't make a normal face at the camera so this is the best one. what a turd. I also wish i still had on the pink dress i wore to church that morning, but this will have to do. :)
love you all...

Olivia, you look great!!!! I know Aunt Vonda and Uncle John can't wait to be grandparents!!! I also checked out your photography site, your pictures are wonderful... I guess I am a little biased but I definitely think Megan's are the best! Wish I could have made it to the wedding....
Aunt Vonda called me, but when I lost my job I had all my contacts tied into my outlook email versus personal (big mistake) but can you pass on my email? afezio@gmail.com
can't wait to see more updates,
Aleecia
You're too cute! Love the belly, can't wait to meet the babe!
Hey Aleecia!! Great to hear from you. I will definitely pass on your email. You were greatly missed at the wedding. Matt and I are planning a visit not long after the little is here so hopefully we'll see you then. :)
much love.
You look great and wow only 5 pounds. That is impressive! Enjoy every minute.
