24 weeks

I know it's been a while, but there really wasn't much to say. Things are going well. I started feeling the baby move about a week and a half ago. It is the strangest feeling. It freaks my husband out, it's really funny. The first time he felt it, he yanked his hand away. It was pretty cute.

I've got a pretty good workout schedule going. I attend a water zumba class & prenatal yoga class on mondays, a regular zumba class Wednesday & Friday, and a longer more relaxed prenatal class on Thursdays. I want to be in as good as shape as I can be. I feel pretty good after all my workouts, so it's been pretty easy to keep up with it. I would have to say the hardest one is getting in that cold pool monday mornings, but once I start dancing in the water, it's all good. The regular zumba classes are fun and its challenging to keep my heart rate under 140, but I manage.

I've put on about 14 pounds so far, and only in the past couple weeks have I really started to show. I kinda like the special attention. Cars stop and let me walk, people hold doors open for me, it's great. Although, I'm not looking forward to the part where strangers want to give me advice and/or touch my belly. I'm not the touchy feely kind of girl.

I cleaned out my drawers this weekend of all my non-maternity clothes to make room for my maternity collection. Which I believe is almost complete, thanks to a gift card to Motherhood Maternity & Gap/Old Navy, a few thrift stores and of course Ebay. I spent $40 on a hugh lot of maternity clothes, which gives me lots of items to work with.

Yesterday, we celebrated our 3 year anniversary and Saturday we are flying to the Dominican Republic for a much needed vacation/baby moon. I'm pretty excited. We only just booked everything. I was beginning to worry that we were not going to be able to take a vacation before the holidays and before the baby.

Dec. 15th, we get to spend 3 weeks with my in-laws, who I love. They are great. I bet we start and finish the baby room while they are here. So far, we haven't made much progress.

Well, I think that catches me up. Another Ultrasound is tomorrow and hopefully, I'll scan all the pics so far and get them up here.
