i hate taking pregnant pictures of myself, and being pregnant isn't my most favorite thing in the whole wide world i'll admit, but i've decided that baby #3 needs a little blog time too, so here he/she is in all her 6 1/2 month glory :)
i was so shocked when i took the test back in february, not cuz we weren't trying but cuz we didn't have to try long, and dust was super excited with this positive pancake breakfast. so fun!
i felt great to begin with of course, but the sickness started up around 5 weeks. it was ramen (specifically picante beef flavor), saltines, and carrots/cucumbers and ranch that got me through my 4 weeks of torture. nauseous 24/7 - blah!!! i swear there's nothing worse, but i was thankful it was only a month and sooooo thankful for my ramen, which i'd never really eaten before in my life but became my nightly ritual! haha
i've also grown to love fruit loops and goldfish for snacks - which again, i've never really eaten, and watermelon is pure heaven to this pregnant girl! mmmmm!
it's been quite an adventure being pregnant on statia. i'm a hot blooded person in general (thanks for that dad!), but being pregnant and living in the caribbean has made me appreciate cold showers on a whole new level! haha i'm ALWAYS hot, but it makes the beach all the more enjoyable and makes me appreciate a nice little breeze and rain and the cooler early mornings and late nights all the more :) i've been shaking my prego belly at zumba and going on lots of walks and trying to stay busy to keep the lbs off, but i feel like i'm about right on track with my other pregnancies. the comments about my big belly are becoming a daily occurrence here and seriously people……i know my belly's big!!!! haha
we are so excited to welcome another little "monster" to our family. beckam's convinced it's a baby sister and decided to name her eric til we convinced her that eric is a boys name and now, it's cara. ( love you lott's!!!) maddie loves touching my belly and relates it to the word baby although i'm not sure how much he truly understands. we can't wait to get back to canada to see our doctor and perhaps get an ultrasound at 30+ weeks and can't wait to meet this little kicking wonder!
i'm a little nervous about being a mother of 3, but i know we'll muddle our way through and figure it out eventually :)

K, seriously weird.. Raman noodles were my thing with Owen too. Not warm though, I'd cook it in the microwave, then drain almost all the water, put half a seasoning pack in and an ice cube, and enjoy my 70% cooked, cold raman noodles... and it seriously was the best thing EVER! Crazy pregnancy things!
Also, you look really good, I was going to say that those zumba classes are doin you good cause you look like a cute, fit, pregnant momma! Love it! Can't wait to hear more baby things in the future!!!
