Finally fitting into some maternity jeans even though these are too long and baggy down the legs. Oh well. And barely stretching into my non maternity sweaters. I'm sure those days are numbered!
I can not believe I am already 6 months pregnant. This second pregnancy definitely seems to be going so, so much faster. I felt like I was JUST at my 20 week doctor's appointment and here I am having my 24 week one later today. The bump is so big and uncomfortable now. I feel like I have a 30 week belly already, whew. All the normal tasks are becoming harder and harder. Bending over to do anything is so painful and a hassle. I forgot what an Olympic sport it was to shave your legs. It's also wearing on me picking up and toting a toddler around. Luckily I don't have to pick her up TOO much, but ouch. My lower back kills me all the time and the past few days my stomach muscles have been so sore, like I have been working out. And no, I have not been. ha. Every thing else is just moving right along. I bought the décor for the nursery walls this weekend and since it's already painted gray and we are keeping all the furniture in there, it should be an easy switch. We got Tilly's new room (the current guest room) painted about a week ago and the plan is to move her in there in her big girl bed (the full size bed that's already there.. ah!) in January. That'll give her 2 months to HOPEFULLY be all adjusted and used to that being her room. I already have her new bedding purchased and will switch her décor with her, so all that's left for her room is a new chest that I am stalking Ikea to get back in stock. I really hope to have her room and the nursery 100% done in January that way the last 2 months I am not rushing to do anything. Crazy lady over here does not believe in last minute for anything! :) ha
Here's a little update for this month!
How far along: 24 weeks - 6 Months
Size of baby: Ear of corn (8.5in, 1.5lbs)
Sleep: The sore hips/back pain is here to stay. I flip and flop like crazy which in itself is an ordeal. I also still have quite a bit of bathroom breaks so I have just accepted I'll never be comfortable again until this baby is here. And then I'll still be awake.. just not in pain! ha
Symptoms: Well I mentioned most of this above I guess. My body is completely in full blown pregnant mode! The nausea has actually popped back up here and there at night sometimes too. This mama is ready for MARCH!
Miss anything: Feeling like a normal human being :) haha
Movement: Oh yea. This little boy is a mover and a groover just like big sister. If yall know Tilly in real life, you know that girl is the most active little thing ever. If she is awake, she is probably running or spinning in circles. She NEVER STOPS MOVING. And since she started off that way in my belly, I think I am just destined for super active kids. They 100% get that from Lance. I could lay on the couch all day long with a blanket and some good TV and be perfectly happy not moving. Oh, not those 2. Lance is the person who paces the house like a maniac when he is on the phone and can not for the life of him sit still. If he is sitting, something is shaking on him. It's hilarious to see Lance and Tilly sitting on the couch together.. both of their legs are bouncing like crazy. Drives me insane! I have a feeling there will be a 3rd little shaker sitting right there with them soon enough.
Food cravings: I just never get cravings really when pregnant. I am definitely loving sweets more, but never HAVE to have anything.
Best moment this month: Just continuing to grow and feel this sweet little boy get stronger and stronger in my belly. We can't wait to meet him in a few months! :)

And a little update on Ms. Priss. She is still as sassy and girly as ever. She is talking up a storm now saying full sentences and copying the funniest phrases. One of her favorites is when she sees new clothes and says, "oh my gosh, that is so cute!" haha! She is constantly talking to my belly and wanting to hug and kiss "baby Ivor". She is so obsessed with her baby dolls and any show that has babies in them. I really hope she'll be this excited about a new baby that is here and never leaves! haha
