6 months already!

I am already 6 months! I am starting to feel the effects of my big belly now, not to mention little Hunter sure moves a lot more! It feels like he is playing the drums the way he jerks and stretches around in there so fast. I can even see his little 'booms" he makes from the outside now too. There is this spot under my right rib that he especially likes nestle in - what a rascal.

I also seemed to sprain my right foot this last week - I am not adjusting well to getting up and about with a large mass in my belly. Brandon thinks it is hilarious the way I walk now - I have a 'natural' pregnancy wobble he says, but now I gimp a bit too. I will have to work on being more careful so I don't add anymore unnecessary attention to myself, ha ha. :)

Plus, we decided this last week that we'll be moving! Are we crazy or what? I must be nesting. :) There were some concerns about the current place we are renting that were making me nervous for a little snuckums running around. The new place will have hardwood floors and NO stairs! yay! And a backyard for Violet to run around in (now the whole neighborhood won't see me in my jammies early in the morning while she takes a pee break - wohoo!) So I am sad to be leaving my friends in Oly 2nd ward, but I will be in Audrie and Matt's ward now - which will be fun too! It will be a bitter sweet move, but I will be happy when it is over with. On the bright side - it really helps us organize and get rid of the junk we collected through the years. And that makes me very happy :)

How far along? 24 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: + 20 pounds
Pants fit? absolutely nothing fits right - it drives me crazy
Pregnancy symptoms: I still have heartburn now & then. Plus now I have some rib pains and backaches. It is getting harder to get around, but really I do still feel great!
Sleep: I am getting better sleep now! Oddly, I stopped using a pillow for support and it feels much better. I still can't sleep on my right side - it goes numb, ha!
Best moment this week: Brandon is really getting to feel the baby move a lot more now - I love it!
Miss Anything? My skinny face! The weight is catching up on me a little. Yes - I see it!
Movement: Lots of movement in there - he likes to stretch out and wiggle.
Food cravings: Hot cocoa, mozzarella sticks and slurpee's still. Really am loving the ice cream lately too.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I am getting back to eating normal again! I will eat bacon, but it just can not be made in the house. The smell sticks around and that makes me queasy.
Have you started to show yet: It is no secret anymore - surprisingly I got away with it up until about now. Strangers are more confident to talk about the bump!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Very silly, but I am definitely saying "NO" a lot more!
Looking forward to: Being moved into the new place!
Stretch marks? No! So far so good.
Wedding rings on or off? On - no issue there yet
Labor Signs: Nope - better not!
Belly Button in or out? It is definitely starting to poke out a little through my shirts, but it's still an innie with a slight 'outie.'
Last Doctor Visit Update: I had a check up with the Midwife and all is still fine. She says so far it is a normal uncomplicated pregnancy. I couldn't be happier, of course!
