The belly is growing

"Everything grows rounder and wider and weirder, and I sit here in
the middle of it all and wonder who in the world you will turn out to be."--
Carrie Fisher
"The most important thing she'd learned over the years was that there was
no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one."-- Jill
Churchill

Here I am at 22 weeks on Christmas Eve Day! It's hard to believe my tummy is getting so round--like a bowl full of jelly (although my tummy is actually hard, not soft!) My parents requested this picture posting and I must admit it's a little strange to put my belly on my blog. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
