24 weeks or 6 months

This pregnancy has gone by extremely fast. I don't know if it is just because we have been busy or what but I can't believe I only have a couple more months. In two weeks I will be in my THIRD trimester. I consider this to be some what of an easy pregnancy. I have had all the symptoms you read about online but very few of them stick around longer then they have to. Currently heartburn is the only one I can't seem to get rid of and it happens mostly at night. Tums are my best friend. Also when I wake up in the morning and try and stretch I get charlie horses in my feet and on one side of my stomach. (which makes waking up not so fun). A fun side note: I seem to have dislocated two of my ribs while being pregnant, not sure how it happened because they are higher up and no where near where you could be kicking me. MAN DO THEY HURT! I am hoping that they go back into place before long because this week as already been torture, I can't do three more months of it. I feel your movement pretty strong these days. You have started your own schedule too. You wake up and go crazy about the same time every day. Thankfully for Mommy, when my back is hurting the worst you lay low and try not to bug me too much. I appreciate it. Daddy can feel your kicks too! We love sitting in our bed at night watching tv and just feeling you bounce around in there. I think I will miss that the most when you are out in the real world. My body has made all sorts of "wonderful" changes while being pregnant. I find it so interesting how much has to change in order for you to be made inside of me. My body is no longer my own, and though I may be sad about it at times, you are so worth it. So far I have gained a total of 11.5 pounds. That is going to double by the fall. Wow. 

I feel like I still have so much to do to get ready for you, but at the same time I have to wait because I still have not had a shower to celebrate your arrival and I'm hoping to get a lot of the things I need from there before I buy it all. Right now you have plenty of clothes, a few blankets, a swing, pac n play, two cribs with matching bedding, a hooter hider, baby sling, diaper bag, a couple stuffed animals and really that's about it. We need to start stocking up on formula and diapers soon.

Plus not to mention that we are moving AGAIN in just six weeks. Oh baby girl, since you have come into our lives life has been a very long "trial storm". This in no way is your fault, I was talking to Dad about it last night... when something so amazing and close to Heavenly Father happens in your life (you) the adversary works twice as hard to make your life rough and to forget your blessings. At times when things seem their darkest it is so hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You think a lot "why me?" With the Lord, all things are possible. Well I know that things will always turn out the way they should. And I hope you grow up knowing that too.
