24 Weeks

Doctors appointment went good.  Blood Pressure 124/80 and the ultra sound to double check the spine went good.   Baby girl cooperated and we were able to get some 4-D images.   Riley took the picture of my belly (hence why it's blurry and my head is cut off)  he did pretty good though.

The 4-D image distorts her a little, but you can see her eyes are closed, hands up by face and the feet and toes in the foreground.  It was so cool to see her movements in 4-D, of coarse I cried.

Negative Nancy: Starting to grunt when bending over and sitting up...

Positive Polly:  Got to see baby in 4-D and almost done with the baby room 

Waistline: regular jeans with a belly band and I have a pair of maternity jeans I wear also.  Maternity shirts are still too big.  Gained a total of 12 pounds since 10 weeks, my goal is to only gain 20-25 so I really need to crack down!

Cravings: I don't have the privilege of having cravings…I eat what I can.  I am really thirsty all the time and I really enjoy Iced Tea.

What I miss: doing all those things that are bad for you….drinking, tanning and eating bad foods

What I am looking foreword to: Announcing the name…we finally decided on a middle name

Ryan: He is currently going with the flow, trying to keep me happy (like letting me paint the baby's room a million times until I find the right color)

Riley and Tate- Riley knows the baby's name and wants to know how to spell it.  He thought the 4-D picture was cute!  Both boys are adjusting to the bunk beds really well!  Riley asked me today "momma? where's the baby…in your belly?" I responded, "yes bud, the baby is in mommy's belly"  Riley continued his inquiry " does it hurt your belly?" I said (without thinking)  "no, but it will when she comes out…"  Riley then said  "COMES OUT!?  Out your butts?"  I carefully thought about my next words "well, how do you think the baby will come out?"  Riley slowly thought "No, the baby don't come out your butts, i thinks, she comes out…ummm (lifts up his shirt)…out your belly button!"  I agreed. :)
