In other exciting news we were able to schedule a bunch of work to be completed on the house before the baby comes! We will be finishing our basement, getting new flooring in the kitchen, staining the woodwork we stripped in the kitchen and having several rooms painted! I can't wait this will really take some stress off and help to make the house more liveable when the baby arrives!!

24 Weeks! Even bigger now!

I think I'm about 14 weeks here! My how I have grown!
I am feeling HUGE these days! I am normally a very teeny tiny girl, weighing in at 100 pounds never really tipping the scales at more than 105 so to be weighing in at approximately 120 pounds is really taking a toll on my body, though I am hoping for some of that extra to stick around after I give birth!
