You finally look pregnant

That's the comment I've been getting this week. It's so funny, it goes from you're not showing at all to, you're getting so big!! There are certainly a standard array of pregnancy comments, sometimes they get old, but I know that everyone is just expressing their excitement and I appreciate that. Although, the "you're getting FAT!" comment is not one I appreciate. I'm working on a comeback. Let me try it out here. It goes something like, "so are you!" Not a winner? No, I guess not either. But the fact is, I've only gained 7 pounds. I'm pretty sure that doesn't equal FAT.
Justin has been feeling her light kicks, but Sunday she gave it her all and let him have it. It was great. I've notice her kicks are consistently much stronger than before. Today I had a strange sensation, I think she was stretching!
I also wanted to praise God for providing for us (over and beyond what He already does). My wonderful hubby got a bonus this week! His boss said it was because of his hard work! How awesome is that?!! Reason 1: Justin deserves the recognition; he is SUCH a hard worker. 2: we have been praying specifically for some extra funds and 3: God softens hearts that we think are not soft. Thank you GOD!
Okay, now for the picture. I think the bump looks different depending on what I wear. Sometimes I feel like I just have a pot belly. Here I am or rather we are at 22 weeks:

You're precious! Definitely still a skinny minny who looks pregnant. NOT FAT AT ALL!

I'm so glad Justin got recognition at work. He IS a hard worker who deserves some credit from time to time. Isn't it amazing how God works?

Are you saying I should've paid Justin in currency other than McDonald's Double Cheeseburgers and/or Chicken Sandwiches?

definitely a glowing, beautiful pregnant lady!

Hey try to look at it positively though. At least they are not going behind your back saying, "man Hilary is eating to many donuts!"

Okay, sorry I just had to add that. Beautiful pictures though, and I am looking forward to see you guys very soon!
