Ok I know I've been slacking bad on posting. I am currently 24 weeks and since I havent posted since 20 weeks, I can safely say its been about a month! Well what has been happening to me lately?? Well for starters I look and feel like a full blown pregnant lady. There's no question about it now, I'm getting the comments from strangers like 'when are you due?... Is it a boy or girl?', etc etc...but THANK GOD I haven't experienced random stranger belly touches. I've probably just jinxed myself but I have been fortunate enough to steer clear of 'those' people. Honestly I don't even know what I would do if I found myself in that situation...knowing me I'd probably do nothing...unless of course it was a creeper old man or something.
I have been feeling A LOT of movement which doesnt just feel like little kicks and punches anymore. This little girl is apparently over a pound and around 12-14 inches in length so I'm sure she's just squished all up in there so any movment she makes I can probably feel. Even though I've been aware of her for several weeks now, this crazy feeling never seems to get old. In fact my new amazement is just watching my belly. I can actually see her poking out on various spots sometimes which is awesome!
Other news, we've started on the nursery...YAY! Over the long weekend we added a new dresser which will become half dresser, half changing table and we've also ripped out the old half done, mismatched floorboards and added brand new ones. Next project is wainscotting the walls and painting. After that, window treatments and closet organization. Hopefully I can get it all done in time...I know myself and projects (well this has been a recent discovery since we bought the house)...the projects take 10x longer than anticipated and my patience for them is 10x shorter.
My next doc appt isn't for another 3 weeks or so. It would have been sooner but he's going on vacation for a week and a half...that's right, get it all out of your system now because when September rolls around you're going nowhere...except Banner Desert Hospital. Speaking of Banner Desert, we've got three classes booked which should be interesting. Birthing prep, infant/baby CPR and first aid and then just a general baby care class. All of which I'm sure will be highly informative, especially the birthing prep class. I might have to bring a vomit bag for Bryan if they happen to show any videos. Squeamish that one...
More later (or sooner hopefully).....
