Long overdue update!

Hello! I have sorely neglected this blog!! But, all is going very well. I am free of sciatica this week and am mobile which is awesome! I am nesting llike crazy and trying to hold off until after the baby shower to go on a massive shopping spree! Don't know if I had mentioned before but we decided to name our son Gabriel Anthony Ford! Tomorrow I have an ultrasound appointment to see how little Gabe is doing and how much he weighs now! At 7 months he was 2 lbs. 6 oz so I bet he has gained at least a pound or so in the last month!! I have gained a little over 25 lbs which is more than I had hoped but it's okay because my swelling is basically nonexistent in my legs and feet and I feel great. So, I just have to stay active, try to fight off the urge to eat ice cream three meals a day and I will be fine. Pregnancy has honestly been a breeze, it's the recovery and weightloss journey afterward that I am dreading because I know that will be the real challenge!! I will post some pics of me at 8 months!!

This adorable picture was taken at my daughter first birthday, its not directly of me but oh well!
