Our Baby is getting STRONG! Yesterday, Rick & Paul & I went to Toronto for the day. Unfortunately, it was drizzling ALL MORNING and early afternoon. We had planned to go to the beach on these cute islands...so we did that but we got soaked and it wasn't much fun. It's probably really pretty and cute there when it's sunny.
Anyway, we got to dinner time and as we were waiting for our food, Baby Girl kicked me SO HARD in like...the bladder or somewhere inside me that I cried! That was crazy. She really is getting big!
A few days ago, I cleaned up her room a bit, and we added the second major piece of furniture (the first was the free changing table!) It's one of my old dressers from when I was 12 through my teen years. It's pretty and white, and we really like it. I'm so excited to put all the clothes I have from garage sales and gifts from her grandparents in it :)
Plus, since we're using cloth diapers, I think the first drawer may be diapers and cloth wipes. We have another dresser to pick up of mine from Uncle Mark's too, so we definitely have enough space for her clothes and even some junk! haha.
Well, that's about it for now. We love baby!

24 weeks, 3 days :)
Everyday I am more and more amazed at how there is a real, living, moving, growing baby inside of me! She (yes, in case you had not yet heard, Baby is a girl! Much to our surprise!) is getting so much stronger! I feel her nearly constantly, from morning to night, most commonly when I am sitting either in bed or on the couch. I've also felt her while swimming. Friends and family have also started to feel her, and if you want, I welcome you, too!
I had another doctor's appointment today, with a glucose test. I didn't expect that, and it wasn't the most fun thing. Had to drink a bottle of liquid that was very similar to flat orange pop/soda. Had lots of sugar in it! Then I had to wait for one hour. During that hour, I was bored, sleepy and nauseous! I haven't felt nauseous for a while, so I was a bit surprised by that one. But apparently that was from the liquid.
Then they drew 3 vials of blood and will get my results back to me in a couple days. I sure hope I pass, because I hear that if I don't, I have to come back for a three hour test! It's a shame they don't tell me exactly what they are looking for.
So the rest of the doctor visit was...boring. Of course. But this time I only had to wait 20 minutes instead of an hour and a half like last time.
Uterus is now at 24 cm (as compared to 21 last time).
I GAINED 9 pounds! Which brings total pregnancy weight up to 16 pounds, which is still within normal and good range. I didn't notice any different eating habits this month (except I had ice cream a few times!!) so I'm not sure how this happened, but okay! It is what it is. And since I lost weight last time and a month earlier, I'm still on track.
Oh, and baby's heartbeat was steady and loud, of course.
Rick and I have been excitedly reading about what Baby is doing now. She can hear outside of the womb! (That makes sense--whenever my mom wants to feel Baby, she says, "Kick me!" and Baby kicks!! It's funny :) ) She is about 1.25 pounds and 13.5 inches long. (Check that out on a ruler--it's amazing how big that actually is!)
That's it! Only about 3 months and 2 weeks left til her due date!!! <3
