To.. 24 weeks!

16 weeks to go!!


I found this template on another blog, Im going to steal it :)


How far along? 24 weeks and 3 days!
Im feeling: I feel pretty good and continuing to enjoy pregnancy. I love all the kicks and movements, I cant wait to meet this little boy in June! :)
Milestones: Nothing really, we got our travel system (stroller+carseat) this week and we are registering this weekend.  Dan cant wait to get his hand on that gun lol.  He also wants to paint really bad so I need to make a final decision on the bedding.
Movement:  Baby Miske kicks me randomly throughout the day and is most active at night.  He loves to kick me when I lay on my back to take a rest from laying on my sides. Which I'm basically sitting up in bed since you cant lay on your back to sleep and he still doesnt approve.. or maybe hes happy about it, who knows lol. I feel like hes mad at me when he does that! ha!  When Dan feels my stomach, sometimes, the baby stops kicking, I read yesterday that it could be the babys response to feeling his dad... so sweet! I was feeling bad for Dan then I was like, aww he stopped because he feels your touch (recognizes Dans heartbeat Im guessing). 
What no one tells you: I heard at small group last night that every pregnant woman gets hemorroids after delivery.. um.. I thought it was just some? gross. Maybe that was an exaggeration.. I hope so!
Sleep: I normally try to sleep as long as possible since I get up a few times a night to pee/readjust/try to get comfortable.  But today I got up at 5:30 to go the gym with Amy this morning, I've been feeling really good all morning.  Im thinking that Im laying in bed too long on most days, I should get out of it after I feel rested and I need to stop being lazy!
Weight:  I feel like Im gaining a lot but the midwives arent too concerned.  Whats awesome about my weight is that the midwives have me down for 5 lbs heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight (so they think Ive only gained 13 lbs when its actually 18).. I didnt go to the dr until I was 10 weeks and by then I had put on weight in about a month after finding out I was pregnant.  I hope to only gain about 16 more since I have 16 more weeks to go but I bet I gain about 20-25 more. Im actually really happy about my body at this point though because 18 pounds seems like a lot and at times I still feel small, I am able to hide my belly if I want to and I like that.  I usually like to show it off though just not at work. :) Wonder where the 18 lbs are hiding? I hope its all in the belly! ha!
Food cravings: Pretty much consistency its sugar and chocolate.  Q96 just called me and told me I won donuts for my office.  I think I signed up online last week to register to win.  Its funny because Im the only employee in my office.. maybe Ill share them with the Ironwood/Signature Homes building since I work in their building.. maybe not though, donuts are my fave! Dan and I are going to the new sushi place across from Meijer on Saturday (Im hoping its not all raw so I can eat !) - anyways, Im looking forward to that, we seem to get a lot of sushi during the pregnancy compared to before I was.
Projects: Still cleaning and organizing.  I got a ton of baby stuff from my friend Melissa last weekend so I need to clean that stuff and put it away.  I feel so blessed!  Next project is painting I would say! :)
Currently Reading:  Nothing specifically, just read online 24/7. I ordered so many books from the library recently but everytime they were in over the past few weeks, it snowed and I couldnt go to Tolono to get them.  Im going to have to reorder them soon, Ive been bored of something to read.  The first one on my list is BabyWise, Ive heard it has some good points.
Names:  We have decided on a name, its official.  I think only 3 people know, one was by accident, the other two are two girls Dan told at school (cheater!)..  I told Dan if he tells more people then I get to tell my small group and my sister.. he hasnt slipped again, lol. Oh wait, I forgot I told two people last week, lol.. whoops! Dan said it was okay though.
We want to keep it a surprise until the baby is born if at all possible, our name isnt very common and I dont want to hear any opinions since we are decided!  We are still debating on a middle name though.
