Looking forward to: Feeling my baby. I'm still wondering if there really is one in there... ;)

Charles gets home on Thursday (finally! This was a long trip) and I think he could be surprised at how much the belly has grown. Unfortunately the boobs are still the same size. Getting sick of reading in the baby books that I "probably have gone up a cup size or two by now"... Ironically, my boobs are the only thing that DOESN'T grow when I'm pregnant. Yeah...I'm awesome like that ;)
