I still feel great.  The big changes this week are 1) I'm feeling so much more movement,  and it's the greatest thing ever, 2) my belly is getting really big, 3) I can't be on my feet for over an hour or so without feeling a bit of lower back pain, 4) I'm starting to bloat a bit in my arms, face, boobs, legs, ass, hips, and my fingers :).  I had trouble getting my wedding band off last night when I was putting on my belly cream.  I'm trying to keep my new found sweet tooth in line, but it's tough.  I bought my usual Saturday bounty of fruits yesterday, but the nectarines would be so much better grilled and then put over shortcake with whipped cream as opposed to on their own.  Things are coming along well in preparation for the baby.  I finally found a crib that we love, the registry is pretty much done, and we have so many clothes.  I love that we were able to get so many hand me downs.  I have the clothing put into different age groups, but I need to get them into bins and label them. I don't think that we will need any night clothing, onesies, or socks for the baby ever.  I found an antique dresser in Sellwood that I'm going to pick up next week.   My next appointment is August 7th.  So far, so good.  I'm very fortunate and I know it.  I really just haven't had a moment where I haven't been so grateful and so happy about this baby.  I certainly spent the first 20 weeks being nervous about the pregnancy lasting and lamenting the sickness and fatigue, but I'm so lucky. 

Here's a pic of me and my belly at 24 weeks.  Oh my.
