6 months completed!

I cannot believe that we've already hit the 6 month mark!
Time is flying by super fast! We feel so blessed! Kate is doing great, she's the perfect size for her age according to our doctor, she's very active, poking and kicking all the time. I am feeling great and I'm staying very active to keep myself in shape. I'm loving every minute of it. 
We did another little photo shoot yesterday and lemme tell ya - the belly is getting HUGE! I compared these to the month 2 picture (when I was still completely flat) and I can't believe how skinny I was before! I am hoping I can get back to that size again. And it's so funny to look back at the 3-4 month pics where I thought I had such a huge belly already. It is NOTHING compared to today... Hard to believe that I still have 3 months to go and will get even bigger.
The hilarious thing is that when I put my coat on, you still can't tell I'm pregnant at all, since the rest of my body is pretty much unchanged. So nobody is giving me their seat on the bus or tram... very bummed about that... haha.... Exciting things: so far nobody has told me I am HUGE, chunky, look like I'm having twins or asked if I'm due next month... Also, nobody has tried grabbing or patting my belly (WHEW! Huge relief... I would NOT like that.)

And the worst moment of pregnancy so far - sitting in the lab during my gestational diabetes test. I hear they do those differently in the US... here I had to come in first thing in the morning before eating/drinking anything, I had to drink the nasty sugary drink and then wait 2 hours to see how my body handled all the sugar. They took my blood 3 times - before, as the benchmark, then after 1 hour, and again after 2 hours. I have huge bruises to show for that... And I got SUPER nauseous after drinking the sugary drink. I thought I was going to throw up all over the waiting room (sorry for TMI) and it pretty much screwed me up for the rest of the day...
I have to thank God again for such a mild pregnancy and not having any morning sickness... I can't imagine feeling for weeks like I did that day... Ughhh... Results to come in a week or so.

Ok enough talking, here are some of the latest belly pictures.
