Only 8 more weeks until our due date for "Shrimp" #2. We have an appointment with our midwife tomorrow afternoon, but so far everything is normal and proceeding as planned.

It's nice to feel more relaxed and not have the worries and uncertainties we had as first-timers. We definitely need to take more pictures of my growing belly and post them soon.
