How is mommy feeling? I have been battling a nasty sinus and upper respiratory infection so needless to ay been a little miserale. My belly keeps getting bigger and bigger! She is starting to kick harder- not sure if its becuase she is slowly running out of space or just wants to remind me she is in there :)
