24 Weeks

How Far: 
24 Weeks



Baby Cain, we are 6 months and going strong! 
Baby Cain is the size of an ear of corn.

The best best best part of being pregnant so far is: You move all the time. It is so amazing. Also, now when you move, people can see you! We were sitting on the beach and you started a kicking fit. I should add that The Rays and Coach all saw you from several feet away. Now it is fun to mark what makes you move the most... It pretty much happens when I calm down or get still for a long period of time. I find myself doing things to get you to move more. However, you are totally on your own and only like to move when you feel the urge. Although your daddy feels that it is him that get you moving most when he plays his random music. 


How I Feel: 
Hormones are for the birds! Whew! 
Riding to class, sitting in class, riding home from class.. THEN working at the computer for several hours at a time is KILLING my back. Luckily, we are practicing for Bradley Method birth and a massage is highly recommended. I will gladly take that massage! 
Plus, lots and lots of stretching and exercising helps too. I am reminded with every friend and every piece of literature that exercise is important. I am working hard to keep this up. A few beach trips are in the near future and they will be nice for relaxing. I need to remember that round ligament
 pain is no joke. It kinda sneaks up on you and BAM... takes your breath away.

I am so very thankful for Spark and easy 2 mile runs.

 I also went into hardcore nesting mode. I spent three full days cleaning out the garage and then going through each inch of the house and getting rid of stuff. I had a yardsale early one Saturday morning and then took the rest to Goodwill. Now we are officially cleaned out. Next task... take the blinds down and bleach them. I once thought nesting was a joke. Um... no. SO for real.


Maternity Clothing:
Summers are great for wearing yoga pants and tanks all day. That is pretty much what I have been living in. However, I am still able to throw on a few pre-maternity pieces. I don't do this much because I really don't want to ruin my regular pieces by stretching them out. Plus, they really are not that comfortable anymore. In fact, my most loved Nike shorts that I am know for living in, well... they are just blah these days. Gimmeeee the yoga pants.


Cravings:
Sweets. Any sweets. All sweets.
Junk.
BUT... we went to our favorite restaurant with our BFFs this week. (Mexican) This place has hands down the BEST broccoli dish. I ate a whole plate and then considered asking for more to go. I try and try to make mine like theirs... I just can't. It is so good. (Now I am considering going to get some ASAP now!)

Nursery:
Nothing major happened in this sweet little room this week. However, wait for next week! :)

Sweet Baby Dub:
Oh. Dub. Dub is great. I really have ZERO worry about him adjusting. Which kinda makes me want to start worrying. I mean, I know people worry about their dogs adjusting to such change, but for some reason I have peace about this. I may be wrong. I pray I am not. It breaks my heart to see people giving up their dogs because they can't adjust well to the new addition to the family. I just really don't see that being us at all. (Praying!) I do sometimes worry when he barks at the wind blowing, but then again... Baby Cain is hearing all this now. In my mind I am all like..."Well, that is your BFF... better learn that sound quick!"
