24 weeks!

The belly has really popped in this past 3 weeks!  I am addicted to my bella band since nothing buttons anymore but that thing is a life saver!  I actually feel like I am pregnant now, not just fat hahaha.  After dinner out with the hubby one night the waitress (at IHOP yummmmm) asked "is the baby happy now?" hahaha!  That was the 1st time a stranger commented on the belly and it made me laugh.  I feel really good and still haven't had any massive cravings for anything specific yet.  I gained 7 lbs this month so officially I am at -9 LOL.  I'm sure that is gonna change real fast now!

Taylor is moving all around now and I can notice patterns, especially at 4 pm and 9 pm I get some great movement and get to watch my belly jump like crazy.  It's so fun to feel Taylor move in different spots on my tummy.  It tickles and I LOVE it!  Sometimes late at night if I haven't felt Tay all day I talk to the baby and I'll get a little nudge and I know he/she can hear me :)
I am starting to feel the "nesting" come on but in true Holly form it has nothing to do with acutal cleaning...I wanna organize!  I am on a kick to get plastic bins and start archiving clothes and crap that we used to have room for but don't any more!  The garage is gonna be FULLLLL soon!

The nursery has had no progress lately but thats mainly because of time, so soon we will get the crib built and hopefully a chest and bookcase in there this month!

I LOOOOOOOOVE IT! Makes me all sappy! So happy for you and belly, totally made me miss those butterflies and that bonding that only comes between a mommy and her baby.

Oh ya- I forgot to mention I couldn't find my bella band! =( I looked through all my stuff, I must have given it to someone else. So sorry, did not mean to get your hopes up.
