90 days!

new years resolution: try to actually ENJOY being pregnant instead of worrying all the time about being fat. this is going to take a lot of hard work on my part, but i figure the amount of energy i've been putting into worrying about gaining weight can be better spent trying to enjoy this. I mean, i only have 90 more days, that's only 3 more months! and as long as i'm doing what i can to be healthy, i'll just have to stop stressing out about being fat. I am sure i'll have to be reminded about 50 times a day about this resolution.
The baby kicks a LOT now. sometimes she kicks so hard it startles me. and if you watch for it, you can see her kick most of the time. She likes to kick most when i'm ready for bed. She kicks for brett now instead of hiding from him, which he likes.
I got some winter boots right before we left VA, and they have been the best thing ever! it snowed for like 36 straight hours, and making the 25 minute hike to school without boots would be gross. and then when it suddenly was 45 degrees, and all the snow melted and became even MORE gross, i was even more grateful for the boots. I haven't slipped on any ice yet, but statistically i think it is just a matter of time. i'm really careful, but there is a LOT of ice.
Classes are going well. i really like my schedule. after almost a year of 8am classes, it is really nice to not start til 9:30 each morning (and fridays i only go from 1-2 in the afternoon). Brett has a class on tuesdays and thursdays at 7am. ew.
now without further ado, this week's picture (27 weeks):
