(I got a little behind, so you might have to click on the picture to see it better)
- I have "popped" within the last two weeks. I have seriously gotten so big out of no where!
- Candy is literally my life saver these days. There are times when I just feel a little queasy, but I KNOW that I am not hungry and that's not the reason for my nausea. I find that if I just eat a little candy, it helps settle my stomach. I realize this is probably not the best for me to be eating so much candy, but hey, it's better than feeling sick all of the time!
- I have a love/hate relationship with my maternity jeans. I love them cause they are more comfortable than what I was wearing before, but sometimes they are such a pain! I don't like wearing something tight on my belly, so I have to put the little elastic part underneath so sometimes they really start to sag like halfway down my butt! I feel like I am constantly readjusting and pulling on them. Also, they don't have front pockets which I did not realize until I was wearing them the first time. Apparently pregnant women don't need front pockets. I just picked up another pair of jeans from the Forever 21 line this past weekend and they also don't have front pockets. What is the deal??
- Everyone talks about how their babies kick them in their ribs. I thought I was going to be lucky since he has always kicked really low, but I can tell he is kicking higher and higher each day. It's just a matter of time before he's up there! I was talking to my mom about it this past weekend and she told me how I used to get stuck up there and she would have to lean back and work my little foot out of my ribs. Something to look forward to...
- Ok, he has found my ribs (I update this as I go along each week). He hasn't kicked them hard yet, but it's more like he is just realizing they are there and has started exploring them. Jordan says its like he is giving me a knuckle noogie. I am going to have to agree. It literally feels like he is just rubbing his foot back and forth... "This is fun..."
- Most people would probably be really embarrassed about the next thing, but eh, I don't care. My stomach has gotten HAIRY. Not like fuzzy. Jordan is constantly telling me I need to shave it. Um, pretty sure that prickly, coarse hair on my stomach would be 10 x worse. I have heard this can be kind of common anyway, so I'm not too worried about it. It's just kind of strange to see my stomach all hairy.
- At my 24 week appt (I was 24 weeks and 4 days), he was measuring like he is 26 weeks. So either I am running ahead of schedule or I am going to have a BIG baby. I was only in the 6 lb range, but Jordan was 9 lbs. Please bless it is the first option.
- I wish I could say I am done with the "throwing up" part of my pregnancy. But I seriously can't get past the 4 week mark. I will have a few great weeks (although a few rough days in between) and then randomly one day I will be really sick again. It's so weird and I can't figure out anything that triggers or prevents it.
- I *think* my ideas for his nursery are finally starting to come together. Buying boy's bedding sucks. There's just no better way to put it. I feel like everything has one of three things: sports, huge cartoon animals, airplanes. And those things can be cute in nurseries, but I was having the hardest time finding something that I love. And it doesn't really help that I have no idea where this nursery is going to be geographically.
- I have 15 weeks left. It seems like it will come soon, but seems forever away at the same time. But I am excited that we have lots of milestones in our personal lives to make the time pass by quicker.

You're looking so cute! It was fun to see you in Walmart the other day. :)
I felt the same way about buying boy's bedding. There's nothing out there! I ended up making my own, which was actually pretty easy and fun.
Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy!
