September Belly

My September belly is looking large these days.  It looks so big in the picture, but I don't feel like it's that big already!  I still have 2 months to go!  According to the doctor, I am measuring just fine and my weight is good.  Baby is doing well and moves around all the time.  Her heartbeat is at a good pace, so we're SO happy about that.  Hoping baby girl continues to grow just like her momma and daddy want her to.  Elena has always been sitting so low in my stomach, but I think since she's starting to grow even bigger and at a faster pace these days, she's moving towards my ribs.  I find myself needing to adjust more often now when I've been sitting for a long period of time.  No complaints, though!  She's been very good to me this entire pregnancy. 
Pregnancy has been a wonderful experience for me and I've learned many things about myself so far...especially when it comes to food...as most of you know, I am not an adventurous eater, but I'm doing my best to eat a variety for baby...I am hungry quite often, but have to eat smaller portions as I don't have a lot of room to put all the food I want to eat!! 
I have realized: I DO have a taste for Chef-Boy-Ardee mini-ravioli, S'mores have never tasted SO good, bagels with peanut butter are a great snack, I can eat a pound of steamed asparagus and not think twice about it, even though the thought of Chinese food during the first trimester made me gag, I have found my love for it again, bacon is and will always be delicious at anytime of the day, raspberry yogurt is the best, canned pears are one of my favorite fruits, I'm addicted to fresh fruit-raspberries, strawberries, apples, midnight grapes, and Carnation Instant Breakfast is perfect for my weekday mornings!!
I just can't believe we're on our way to week 31...it's incredible how fast the weeks go by.  She'll be here before we know it!

 Oh, mom and dad, please stop taking my picture!

 OK, I'll smile for you, but just this once.

I'm tired now and will just sit here and look cute.
