Thanksgiving week... ALREADY?

It's hard for me to believe the Christmas season is about to arrive... November has gone by very fast. Little Peanut and I are doing well, as you can see from the picture taken this past week at school. I have, however, been suffering on and off with a stuffy nose for at least 3 weeks now- a symptom of pregnancy I will NOT miss! :) Other than that, the second trimester has been rather enjoyable - Peanut is now going through many wonderful changes - The inner ear is now developed, so he/she can hear things with more clarity than before. I have now begun to see his/her movements poking from my ever-expanding belly, as he/she has gained more control over arm and leg movements. The baby's sense of touch has also developed, which probably explains all the movement! Peanut tends to be more active when I am at rest, and I have noticed movement now early in the morning as I am waking up - gone are the days of sleeping in for me! Oh wow, there are only 110 more days until March 12th!
