Turning over a new leaf...

So, I abandoned this blog two years ago.  It wasn't really a conscious decision, but there were some difficult times in there that I guess didn't put me in the bloggiest mood.  However, much has changed since then and I'd like to use this blog to update anyone who cares to be updated on the forthcoming changes in our family!   I'm 24 weeks and 5 days (yes, still counting the days! :)) pregnant!  Our little girl has started kicking (at times quite hard!) more consistently over the past few days.  Today I had a little fun watching my stomach as it bounced up and down around her kicks/punches/dolphin flips (who knows what she's doing in there?!).  Andy has only been able to feel her once as she seems to stop flipping around pretty much as soon as he puts his hand on my belly, but I have a feeling he'll be feeling her quite a bit more in the near future.   I've been not-so-patiently waiting for my belly to grow and it's recently started to.  A few strangers have recognized me as pregnant; the key one was the TSA agent who mercifully allowed me to step out of the huge security line at Logan airport a few week ago- so appreciated!  Needless to say, Andy, Zu and I couldn't be more thrilled to be where we are today!  Here's a recent picture taken at 24 weeks even (please excuse the double chin... ;)):
