Just kickin' it

Our little baby boy loves to move. He kicks, rolls, and runs his little feet or hands along my stomach all day (and night). I am so grateful for this because it lets me know that he's in there and okay. I go in for my 7 month check up and glucose test next week. Thankfully all the Christmas cookies are gone and not tempting me anymore.
We started cleaning out the office to make it into the baby's room. This has been a bigger project than I originally anticipated. I had hoped to have it finished in a few days but I was sick with a cold and tried to rest so that it didn't turn into something more. Thankfully I think I am almost over it. So this week we should be finishing up cleaning everything out and moving on to the painting. I will post pictures once we finish.
As of now our little one still doesn't have a name but we have some time to think about it. We have a list but neither one of us can agree on one.

24 weeks and all is well

I had my 6 month check up yesterday and the doctor said the baby is doing great. I however need to slow down on the weight gain. Apparently my cheesy crunch gorditas have paid off and I gained a little too much these past four weeks. My doctor is very sweet though and said it was okay but I shouldn't do this every month.


It's hard to know how much I gain between visits because we don't own a scale. Since all my maternity clothes have elastic or adjustable waist bands those are not a good indicator of how my weight is doing either. So I guess gone are days that I would indulge in a piece of chocolate cake or eat whatever sounds good because I am after all pregnant. I guess that's not a good enough excuse anymore. Veggies and fruit here I come!

Here's my 6 month belly picture.
