Here are some belly pics. I'm about 24 weeks (6 months). I can't believe this belly is going to get even bigger!!
Side view (OMG!):
Andrew and I are busy packing up our house because we are moving. We are buying a house that is just a few miles away from where we live now. It is a very exciting time for the Slavinskys! We will be renting out our current house. So, if you know anyone looking for a house to rent near Southpoint, let us know!

Spring Break and Other Stuff
I had an amazing Spring Break. I got to see Jewel at a private Concert in Dallas. She even talked to me a bunch during the show (I was in the front row!!). She played a lot of really rare songs that have never been on albums, but that her hardcore fans know from bootlegs. It was great to meet all of the other Jewel freaks.
When I got back from Dallas (it was a solo trip... lots of "Chrissy-time"), I left to meet Andrew and his parents (and Chumlee!) at a house we rented on Topsail Island. I had a few days of fun in the sun at the beach. It was nice to just relax, read, and cuddle.
Today I saw the doctor again. It was a short visit. He measured my uterus (the baby's living quarters) and it is about 25 centimeters, which is a few inches above my belly button. There is no hiding that I am pregnant now. It is pretty obvious in whatever I wear. I haven;t gained a ton of weight yet, just 7 pounds since I first found out I was pregnant. The doctor thinks that is great! I know that I have a lot of pounds ahead of me before this is over!
Our little girl is starting to get more organized in her movement. Before last week, I would describe it as a general squirming, where now it is more of a real kick (or punch) that can be felt from the outside too. I have to say, that it is pretty awesome.
4th grade advice, "If you have a girl, let her play with cars and 'boy stuff' too. If you have a boy, let him play with dolls or whatever. You want your kid to be well rounded right?"

3D ultrasound
The 3D ultrasound is super freaky in general. I liked this one though because you can see our daughter's face. It looks like she is sucking her thumb too! I did that until I was 8 or 9 years old... so she's already like me in one way!!

20 weeks-- Belly pics included!
I am half way there! Only 20 more weeks to go! Ha-ha. As Andrew said, the easiest half is done... now on to the hard stuff!
I am feeling extra pregnant today so I have decided to share some belly pics (now my sister can stop nagging me!):
I went shopping and bought some maternity stuff this weekend. I have noticed that maternity clothes really accentuate the ol' gut. In fact, I had several people ask to touch the belly today at work, which was a first. I really didn't mind it either. I have a friend who said that anyone who rubbed her stomach when she was pregnant got a belly rub in return!
This little baby girl moves all the time. She squirms a lot when I sing (she's a Jewel fan of course) and after I eat something. I haven't had any weird cravings, although I could go for some veggie sushi right now... maybe Andrew will be into that for dinner. :)
Andrew and I have some ideas for names, but have decided to keep that a secret for a while. Maybe even until she is born. We want to keep something a surprise afterall.
