26 weeks

This past week I had another OB appointment. Everything is going so well, it's almost strange how easy it's been after getting past the initial fertility struggles. My blood pressure is good, weight is good, no concerns, the baby is growing on track with a perfect heartbeat. :) We couldn't ask for more! I am starting to feel him more and more. Not just kicks, but movement in general. I can feel him turn or roll at times. Recently I feel him move to one side or the other and it creates a hard lump in my belly. Then, looking down, my belly is assymetrical. It's crazy! It's so amazing. This pregnancy thing has been great on my body. Too bad it took such an ordeal to get here.

Tonight we picked up the new dresser/changing table at Babies 'R Us. We're anxious to get the nursery all together. Right now it's all painted and the crib is put together. Curtis just needs some help getting the dresser up the stairs. Now we need a small bookcase and some kind of chair. It's all so fun! It's hard to believe I'm almost into the 3rd trimester. We are so grateful for God's graciousness to us through all of this. He is So Good! :)

Getting bigger and better- 24 weeks


My belly keeps getting bigger and this little one keep getting more active. It's so awesome to feel him move and so often. He is quite the little dancer sometimes. :) We've narrowed down the names to probably 2. I doubt we'll decide for sure until we see him face to face.

Today we had the nursery painted. It looks really good! It's blue on 3 walls and brown on one wall to match the bedding. So far we have the crib and last weekend ordered the dresser/changing table combo. It's all coming together. :) We currently have several showers planned. Two will be the weekend of Nov 8th and 9th with one on Saturday with Curtis' family and the other on Sunday with my family/family friends. Then one here in Indy on Nov 15th for Indy friends etc. And then one more with work on Dec 1st. It's all so fun! I love parties. . . Hopefully all of you have received invitations to at least one shower. If not, let me know.

Overall I'm still feeling good. I do tire quickly. Last week I tried to clean my whole house and kind of overdid myself and had a little back pain for a couple days. I guess I'll have to pace myself a little better.
