24 Weeks

Well we have been pretty busy since the last post although we have finally been in town for the last two weeks. We are 24 weeks today, I still cant believe how fast this has gone by so far. I have been feeling great. I am finally starting to show. Little Allison has been kicking like crazy. You can see her kick at times, but its very cool to feel her kick so much. She mainly kicks after meals and at night when I am getting into bed. So far its not keeping me up as we all know how much I love to sleep. Yesterday I woke up around 5am and she was kicking me in my side. It feels like a big thump over and over :) Still very sereal as you think maybe that was just something going on in your belly. Last weekend Sara McCarroll went with me to Babys R Us, I owe her big time as she helped me register for stuff I have no idea about. It was so sweet because we spent almost 3 hours in there with her cute little girl Kynleigh. Kynleigh did awesome and just hung out the entire time, very impressive. Wills brother,Tommy and his family came in on Tuesday March 16 for their spring break b/c Jack had a baseball tournament. They stayed with us last week, which was fun! We cooked and hung out with them as well as Will's other brother Jim and his family. Then my mom came in on Friday and we shopped literally until we dropped as most would say if the shopenator is with you :) She is great because she helps you think of great ideas and will help you get what you need done. We registered at buy buy baby and then looked for baby bedding. Will and I have so much to do as we havent done anything with the nursery. I have found the bedding but I need to order it. We also have to order the crib and furniture. I feel like I am running out of time, which I know we still have a little less than 4 months but I can feel myself getting anxious. Maybe that is the nesting stage coming up. Problem is that the next month we are out of town almost every weekend with weddig showers, bachelorette parties, easter etc. But I love being busy and getting to see all my friends. I still havent gone maternity clothes shopping, but with all the stuff coming up I think I will need to or at least figure out what I can wear with my belly band. At this point in my pregnancy, not too much has changed except for my growing belly. I still eat about the same although I will say I eat what I want. We go to the doctor next week for a check up and I will do the gestational diabetes screening where you drink this sugary drink, so that should be interesting rather than the typical appointment where you weigh in, pee in a cup, and get your blood pressure checked. Will finally felt the baby kick 2 weekends ago!! He was very excited... He had tried many times before but didnt have the patience when she wouldnt do it on cue but finally he felt her kick. Very Sweet!!!
