6 months already?!

I am 24 weeks pregnant today-- wow, how time flies. Everyone said it would, and now I'm really starting to believe it! The baby is kicking, squirming and rolling all the time now. S/he is most active after dinner and in the wee hours of the morning. I still have a feeling that this baby is a girl, but in all of my dreams lately it has been a boy. Who knows? As Jason says, "it's a baby." According to my weekly baby e-mail, this picture shows how big s/he is. I've received these emails every week since day one, but this one made me pause-- I can't believe the baby is so big!

The last couple of days have felt like spring, which makes me realize just how close June is! When I'm out walking the dogs and I see other families and mothers with their children, it dawns on me that in the not-so-distant future, that will be me! The dogs are not going to be so happy when I start taking walks with the baby, but unfortunately, a stroller and two bassets will be more than I can handle! Oh well, they still have their dog park.


I'm still feeling pretty good pregnant... well, except when dealing with a severely distended stomach after meals-- I swear sometimes it feels like I will pop! I can't even imagine what this is going to feel like in a couple months. For now though, I'm still smiling.
