Baby Update

Here's a little baby update. I am approaching 24 weeks and feeling really good. Getting more and more of a belly and sometimes that's good and other times frustrating when clothes are too tight or it gets in the way. I know that I have a ways to go and I will only get bigger. whoo. I got a pretty awesome head cold last week and am finally getting more over it. I really didn't want to take anything so I have been pretty stuffed up and trying all sorts of home remedies. 

I feel the baby more and stronger. Sometimes it feels like I have a fish hanging out in my stomach flip flopping around and then I think.....Do I really have to go to the bathroom right now? =)

I was feeling really cute and happy for church on Sunday so I thought it'd be a good time to take a belly picture. I have been doing well physically during the pregnancy. Sometimes I am a little more on an emotional rollercoaster and poor Justin has to figure out what to do with me. But the good days most definitely out weigh the bad so it's bearable. 

I got a little crazy at D.I. the other day. I can't help it the clothes there are only a dollar! one dollar! sometimes two but if it was cute and the right size....why not? I feel a little bit better that now she'll have something to wear when she gets here. 

I like to go on walks in the morning and sometimes my hands get a bit swollen and hard to bend. This particular day my CTR ring was really digging into me. Darn that pointy shield. I tried for a while to get it off with no luck. Finally after lots of lotion it slid off. I figured it's probably better to get it off while I can then waiting and might not be able to later. My wedding rings still fit and aren't a problem for now. It's been a few days and my finger has finally left the ring imprint. 

We have been working on the room that our baby will be in. All the fairy sticker things are gone and the purple is done. 

We wanted a fresh slate to start with so we started with white. Justin has made a cute plan for some of the walls. Bit by bit we are getting things done. We got a crib last week on KSL for a good deal and then we are planning on getting a car seat this month. 

All is going well and we are getting more excited. I have my next Dr.'s appointment in two weeks. This one should be fun I have to do the sugar drink and blood tests to see if I am at risk for gestational diabetes. I don't think I am but you never know. Last appointment I was measuring right on track and the baby's heart rate was in the 150's which is just where it needs to be. I feel so so blessed to have everything going so well, sometimes I feel like I need to be prepared for the other shoe to drop with something hard but for now I will be grateful and continue doing what I am doing.
