24+ Weeks

Wow, six months already! Time has flown by and I cannot believe I am now staring the third trimester in the face. We had another midwife appointment Tuesday and everything checked out well. I had to keep a food journal for three days and was asked to keep my homemade ice cream indulgences to moderation. Right, I'll work on that for you. This baby definitely does like food and I feel like I am eating all the time but trying to keep it healthy. Smoothies have become an almost everyday snack. The chiropractor helped a ton and I haven't been in over a week now with only one day of pain since. I am starting to feel more like I did early in the trimester and that has been a welcome change, for the whole family.
   Baby still moves a lot, mostly at night but also anytime I sit down or am in the car. I have made the mistake of looking for baby clothes a couple of times and I have to confess I am being drawn to the blue side. It could be because our entire family thinks we are having a boy and Jameson always call the baby "he." I had really strong feelings of girl early on but over the past few weeks I just don't know. I now keep picturing a baby boy coming home with us in August.
   I do know I have been thinking a lot about this baby and how excited I am to have a newborn in the house again. I can't wait to finally be able to meet this little person and introduce them to their big sister. In the beginning I felt like I never had time to focus on this baby but the constant rolling and kicking remind me of just how lucky our family is and how close we are to having "him" in our arms.
