24 Weeks

I missed posting about week 23 but that's ok. :)

I am 24 weeks as of yesterday. Baby feels like he has grown a ton or else he is doing crazy gymnastics inside my belly because it has been a bit sore lately. I have been having trouble getting comfortable to sleep for awhile, but now it has hit full force, despite that I love my growing belly and little baby boy inside!

I don't know if it's pregnancy, arthritis, or plain just being worn out (or a combination of all 3), but I have been feeling pretty tired again lately. My hips and lower back have also started to ache, have been for awhile, but seems to just be getting worse. Though I wouldn't trade any of that for the little baby inside! I am happy to be uncomfortable and achy for the short span of pregnancy.

I have a doctor's appointment on Monday, my mom's birthday (Happy Birthday Mom!). Crazy to think that after this appointment I should only have 2 more monthly appointments before I go to to the doctor every 2 weeks, and that is really when it feels like the home stretch. Time is flying by!

No names are really coming up yet. I sent Stephen a short (and by short I mean like only 3 or 4 HaHa) list of names that stood out to me that particular day while browsing names. I won't say I loved any of them or knew for sure I wanted to use any of them, they just stood out so I typed them down and wanted to get Stephen's opinion. He said he didn't mind one of them. So there is one name that we both sort of like, but who knows if it will end up on our list to choose from HaHa. (Although it is starting to grow on me.) I don't think everyone else will really like the name I'm talking about, but with Noah I came to realize that it's not about what everyone else likes, it's about what we like for our baby. ;) Hopefully we can get a short list of names going. I'm kind of stressing about it HaHa. I know we still have time, but time is going by so quickly! I would just like to know we at least have some options picked out before it starts getting close to full term.

All is still going well! I am very grateful to be pregnant! We are all really excited for baby boy #2 to joing our family! (Not so excited we want him to come too early though HeHe. Excited for him to come when the time is right!)

Whatever happened to Juan Louis?? Or Don Julio? Haha. Actually, I think Carter is a cute name. You should name him Carter :)

Oh that's right! How could I forget about those names?!
Our friends just named their baby Carter, so I wouldn't feel right about naming him that. ;)
