24 Weeks

Well, not much has changed. My stomach is gradually getting bigger. Some days I feel much bigger than others. Especially in that picture. Mr. Everett is becoming quite the kicker, or puncher. We've been able to feel him quite often. Some evenings Todd is able to put his hand on my stomach and the boy moves like crazy for 10 minutes. The kicks are much more stronger than they've been. I've been able to sit on the couch and watch my stomach move a couple times.

We went in for a check up on Monday. The nurse said he had a great heart rate...141. I'm measuring right where I'm suppose to be. He's sitting real low. The nurse kept trying to hear his heart beat up by my belly button, but couldn't ever get a good read. Finally I told her where I always feel him and sure enough once she moved to the bottom of my stomach she got a much better read. I thought he would have started to move up by now, but I guess he likes where he is. I wish he would move. Anytime I wear pants that are remotely snug, he's constantly kicking. Especially when I'm sitting at work. So I finally went and bought a pair of maternity pants, and I think he appreciates my investment.

All in all everything's goin pretty well. I feel great. I'm starting to get short of breath more often. Todd and I went walking yesterday and came home and my feet were bright red and swollen. Not too bad though. I'm just hoping the swelling doesn't get too bad over the summer. Only 3 1/2 months left! Time to me is flying by!
