24 Weeks

So I have officially have a little soccer player in my belly! Baby Boys kicks are frequent and regular and getting strong! Unfortunetly we can't feel them from the outside, so brian can't feel him yet.. but hopefully soon. I finally look like i have a minature basketball for my belly, i look preggo now and not just fat, and my belly expands past my chest finally! hehe I took this picture this morning and just have been obsessed i don't know why, maybe cuz its the first picture ive taken that actually looks like im having a baby :) My little boy is growing so fast 16 more weeks to go :) I am so much more in love everyday and can't wait to meet him!

Although everything is good and healthy with baby and I, we have had a rough couple of weeks, with family issues, some resolved, some not, trying to switch OB's ( which has been hell) Deciding to move out of the place were living right before baby is born, house issues, all 3 dogs got sick at the same time, school ( i think i spread myself thin this sememster) anxiety, its been rough! But hopefully we will make it through it all!

So about 2 weeks ago, I went on a crazy shopping spree, I felt as if i had nothing and was unprepared so I went a little crazy so i could feel like we are getting well prepared. Since the only big thing we really had was the carseat and stroller, i purchased the playpen, the swing, the bouncing seat, the activity gym for the floor, the baby bath tub, some more clothes, the diaper genie, the bottles, some pacifiers, and some odds and ends. Yes i went a little crazy and definitly broke my pockets. The only big stuff we have left is the nursery furniture, the monitors, and the breast pump. We still need a lot of stuff, sheets, blankets, lotions, diapers etc... well get there, but i definitly feel a lot better that we are some what prepared now.

Well that pretty much sums up my last month of excitement... Tune in for some more soon.
