So we are now at 24 weeks… I’m nesting like crazy and trying to reorganize our house. And being home sick, I’ve been trying to find ways to amuse myself. So here are some self-portrait belly shots I took in the mirror today:

I feel horrible!
I have bronchitus and a sinus infection and I’m on a form of drug that is somewhat related to penicillin (to which I am mildly allergic too)!
I have been coughing like crazy – squishing poor Squishy up with my spastic diaphram. And I can’t breath, so I haven’t been sleeping very well – which makes me grumpy and irritable, which in turn makes Adam grumpy and irritible.
And to top it off my body has decided that this week would be a good one to start Braxton-Hicks contractions!
UGH!!!
A BIG thank you to Brendan who came over and painted our nursery on the weekend…. it’s Pooh Bear Yellow… and it looks fabulous.
Adam also put the crib together and threw the bedding on – and moved Squishy’s dresser in the room. So it’s really starting to take shape. Yay!
Squishy’s dad will post some pictures tonight!
My midwives told me that the second trimester is rather boring. Nothing too exciting happens, except the belly gets bigger and there is a lot of movement. They were right! The belly is getting huge and Squishy moves an quite a bit. Lately, instead of watching TV I’ve been watching my belly jump around. It’s one of the best reality shows out there! Other than that I feel like we are waiting… waiting for the next trimester, waiting for the next midwife appointment, waiting for the next ultrasound… 23 weeks and 3 days done… only another 16 and a half weeks to go! (I feel like a kid who’s anxious for Christmas in October!)
Yay… we may not have ever finished the wedding website… a wedding and a year and a half later…. but Squishy has a website ready – yahoo! Thanks Squishy’s daddy!!
Squishy’s little friend was born on Tuesday February 8th! His name is Kaari and he is adorable. Adam and I had such a fun time holding him and shopping for him. Now we can’t wait for Squsihy to be born! It will be babies everywhere in this building!
So we got the full results form the ultrasound at my midwife appointment today. Luba told me that some of the baby’s parts – head circumfrence, abdomin and internal organs – we’re only measuring at the 10th percentile at the time of the ultrasound. So right now Squishy is tiny. We are going to have another ultrasound int he third trimester. As long as the baby continues to develop everything will be okay. She said everything was functioning fine, and the heartbeat sounded great. So I was told not to worry at all.
But I’m a mom…. of course I’m going to worry a little!
