24 Weeks, 3 Days

Well, I guess it's about time to update everyone on our progress! Things are moving along rather quickly now. I feel like my belly is larger everyday! (By the way, pictures to come soon...they are on the camera and I just need to load them up). We went to the doctor on Monday and she said that everything looked good. I have gained a total of 13 lbs so far, which she said was good....it still freaks me out to see the number getting so high on the scale though! :)

The baby is moving around all the time now. He is very active in the late afternoon and when I go to bed. Since he likes to move so much a bedtime (and since he getting so big) sleeping has become somewhat of a challenge, but I guess that doesn't really go away for a while now!

Jon has started work on the nursery/house in preparation for the baby's arrival. He has pulled up carpet, is about to put down toe board (or something like that) and start painting. It has all started to seem very real recently and we realize we have quite a bit to do before July 15th!

Pictures to come soon....promise!

spreaking of gaining weight, during the last month of my pregnancy (when you have to go to the doctor every week) there was one week when i gained 4 pounds... in one week. they told me i needed to stop gaining weight. i just gave them a blank stare. just how does a pregnant woman stop gaining weight... besides giving birth... which would make her not pregnant anymore.... hmmmmmm

Don't worry about the numbers on the scale! :) In the two weeks before I delivered, when my blood pressure was going up and I was retaining so much water, I gained 13 pounds, all fluid....yes, in TWO weeks!! But I lost 26 pounds within a week of giving birth, so it goes away quickly! Just enjoy it while you have an excuse to be heavier than ever. =)
