Pregnancy: Weeks 22-24

22 Weeks: I love feeling my baby move. Sometimes it's weird to think there is a little person inside of me moving around, but at the same time it is the most amazing feeling in the world. Parent Teacher Conferences were this week and they wore me out. With the longer nights and this baby growing like crazy, I was beat.

23 Weeks: This little boy has found my ribs! He is getting stronger each day and loves to give me a little jump start reminder that he's around. The first time I felt him move up in my ribs startled me. Now I just laugh and push him down telling him to relax. Sometimes if I'm watching my belly I'll see him move as well. I can't believe our baby is almost a foot long and weighs one whole pound.

We had Friendsgiving this week up in Idaho Falls and got to see our besties. We took some pictures for fun. My friends are quite talented.

24 Weeks: Baby is the size of a large zucchini, about 11.8 inches and 1.3 pounds. I'm starting to feel like a stuffed turkey. The other day I was feeling this little boy move around a little bit. I decided to play around with him and push on my stomach where he was moving. He'd move a little, I'd nudge him a little. After one of my nudges he gave me a little tap and then a huge kick that bulged my stomach and startled me. I seriously made a little yelp because I was so surprised.

Thanksgiving was fun and delicious. We went to the theater with my family to see the last Hunger Games movie and then had dinner at our new place. Nathan and I made most of the meal and thankfully the turkey turned out.

I am so thankful for Nathan and to have this cute little boy as a part of our family. I can't wait to see how he's doing at my next appointment next week.
