24 weeks


I am now 24 weeks. I am on the down hill side of pregnancy. This pregnancy has gone by super fast and painfully slow at the same time. I can't believe I am already at the 6 month mark. I feel fat all the time. I can't breath, and I am perpetually sick. I had gotten ride of a cold that hung on for a month and a half. I was well for two weeks, and now I have picked up an other cold. I think it should be illegal for pregnant girls to get sick. Just when I think that all I can do and feel is all the blah parts of pregnancy, I feel the baby move. It is the most amazing feeling in the world to feel life inside of you. It is indescribable. Reece loves to move around late at night. My favorite part of the day is around 7, laying on the couch and feeling Reece do summer salts and practicing his high kicks in my tummy. I love it. It is like a little secret that only he and I share. I would gladly take all the bad that comes along with pregnancy (well, maybe not the heart burn) to be able to feel this little guy kick me from the inside. A couple days ago was my target ultra sound. I love the 4D ultra sound pictures. It is amazing to see their little features. Reece looks just like Evan. It is such a wow moment to be able to see this human being that is being made slowly through out the months. To see him suck his thumb and rub his eyes..he is a person..and I get to be his mom. How awesome is that.

It is crazy to see just how much he looks like Lauren and Evan already. I am anxious to kiss that little face of his.

Can you tell that he is rubbing his eyes? I love how his little fists are up right by his face.

16 weeks left to go!! I can handle that..

I love feeling the baby move, too! Even though it is not a gentle caress most of the time, it is awesome to feel such vibrant life inside you!
