New Tricks

So this little girl is very mobile. And she's learned this new trick, it's called be still until mom is almost asleep, then kick her awake. Her kicks have gotten really strong now and sometimes I get surprised at them and jump. I think I startle her too, so I guess we're even. She's also learned the art of retaliation. If you push on my stomach, she'll kick back. It's kinda fun, except when I'm sleeping or at the chiropractor and she gives a nice good kick after getting my back adjusted.

She's getting bigger, and apparently I "just popped over night" according to people at work. According to them I was too small, and now I'm huge. Not sure how I feel about that.

 Also we're over peaches and have moved on to carrots being our favorite food. We bought a 3lb bag of them at Sam's Club and they're almost gone. I swear I have never eaten this healthy in my entire life. It kinda makes me sad and I have made a list of things that I am going to eat after she's born. Top of that list: French Fries, Brownies, Buffalo Chicken tenders and Banana Cream Pie. Not all at the same time though.

We also got mail from Aunt Meredith and cousin's Charley, Gabby and Dani. It was a pretty romper and shoes. (if you're interested the romper is from www.babylacerompers.com) Can't wait to take her pictures in this.
 This next picture is not my idea but Spencer's. If it were up to me no pictures of me would be taken. We're 24 1/2 weeks!
I feel like I've gained like 50lbs, but at my last Dr. appointment last week, they told me I've just gained 7lbs this entire time(although it's probably a lot more now!) I was a little worried since people were telling me I looked small but the Dr. said I was measuring a little big and the weight was okay, I just need to gain 1lb a week from now on.
