Ever GROWING belly

So I am 24 weeks along (5+ months) and my belly is getting bigger and bigger by the day! It is funny for me to look back over my pregnancy so far and see how much my body has changed. I remember at 9 weeks is when I first noticed my belly looking different, of course at that point I was the only one who could tell, I tried to show Craig but he couldn't really see it until a few weeks later. At 14 weeks we had both sets of parents in town to help us paint our new home and they could tell I was preggo...so that was exciting.


Now people who don't know me very well can tell I'm pregnant but it was so annoying for the past month and a half I have felt like "geeze I'm totally showing" but only my close friends and family have been able to notice, and since it is my first pregnancy I am all excited about it and want to flaunt it. So now I am more than half way through and people are starting to notice...HOORAY!


I am also feeling our little guy move around a lot now. He is an active little one...especially when mommy wants to go to bed! Although he keeps me up some times it is VERY fun to feel him moving around inside me, it makes him so much more real. I actually started feeling him at about 16+ weeks. At that point it was just a small flutter but it was him in there, not indigestion. Now he is big enough were other people can feel him and see him...it is so strange to see your belly just pop up with a baby kick.

So, things are progressing well with the pregnancy and Craig and I can't wait for our little guy to be here...we are just trying to get everything READY before he comes.
