It's weird. My baby is the size of a blueberry, but I still can't really believe I'm actually pregnant. I've been painfully tired the last week or so, and my boobs (especially nipples) have been super tender. Other than that, nothing is really different.

So Glory is visiting! She'll be here about a month before she has to go back to Australia to finalize her visa, but it's nice having her in the house. Tuesday we all went down to this family street fair in the village (with James and Amy). It was great just walking around together.
