24 weeks

Well, 6 month check up went good. I met with the nurse this time, and didn't get to see the little guy. This was the first visit I didn't see him in some way. He is very active and moving around a lot, so I know he is there. Oh yeah, and the big bump helps...)

Everything seems to be going fine. My uterus is measuring where it should, my blood pressure and everything else is good. We have started the discussions about epidurals and permeant birth control. I am thinking HELL YES on the epidural, and maybe an IUD on the birth control. I really hate taking birth control and I don't know if I am ready to say plug them up forever. Although another 5 years or so, I would think my body would say plug them up. It just seems so final. I am fairly certain I will not be having any more babies, but hey...you never know.

I am bigger and more uncomfortable, however I managed to make it to the top of Enchanted rock while camping last week. It was awesome, but tiresome.

Cute things Parker did this week. Lifted up my shirt and rubbed my belly saying can I feel him? Also told me that "when the new baby hatches, you will snuggle him and kiss him because he can't tell you he doesn't want to be snuggled and kissed"...oh so true!

Believe it or not, my boss told me he wished I could change my gestational period into that of an elephant. Meaning, he needs me at work and can't believe I won't be there soon. Well, that is how it goes....:)

I will continue to update and will check in with more later.
