little miss giggle

J: Not that she wasn't before, but N and I have noticed that she is laughing more. A lot more. How's that for an unexpected symptom of pregnancy!

She laughs over dinner. She giggles in the morning. She even chuckled a bit when I found her in the kitchen taking a swig of lemonade from the bottle at 2 this morning.

She told me she thinks its how her body is releasing tension. (This is infinitely better than the crying-to-release-tension tactic her body was testing out the first few months.)

I can't even begin to express how deeply I appreciate this.

And really, its too bad this pregnancy thing has to end—I'm starting to really enjoy it.
