24 weeks

We've been asked a few times if our boy's name is a secret. It's not, I just haven't "announced" it. But for all you wondering, his name is Darren Taylor. We can't wait to meet little Darren and snuggle him tight. :)

Pregnancy is flying right by. I had my latest check up this week and I am measuring right on schedule and everything is going well. My next appointment is my glucose test / third trimester check up. Crazy.

We have been so blessed from friends and family selling/lending/giving us stuff we will need for Darren. Thank you so much!! I can't wait to start on his nursery and get things moving with decorating. :)

How far along: 24 weeks
Gender: Boy 
Weight gain: 18 lbs
Maternity clothes: I am set on maternity clothes thanks to sweet friends who have given me bags of cute clothes to wear. I am so thankful!! It was like Christmas morning trying on clothes that fit me... I almost cried.
Stretch marks: None
Sleep: Sleeping has been better. I do have some weird dreams every once in a while.
Best moment this week: Hearing Darren's heartbeat, a strong 138.
Miss anything: Nothing
Movement: Yes, he is very active. All the time!
Cravings: None at the moment.
Queasy or sick: Queasy once this past week from horrible indigestion/heartburn. Thankfully I had some essential oil rub a friend dropped off and it took my nausea right away and I fell fast asleep.
Labor signs: None
Symptoms: Started having indigestion & heartburn right before bed. I didn't have it with Winnie, so this is a new symptom for me and I'm not a fan.
Looking forward to: Planning the nursery and having our babymoon :)

Winnie sporting her Big Sister shirt like a pro! <3

She is getting so big!! 

Winnie on the move-

Literally, our little lady is moving... crawling.. army scooting... rolling... all.over.the.place.

A part of me wants to push her down  encourage her to wait... but another part, a huge part, wants to lead her and encourage her along. She is her own person and wants to crawl, so why not help her in the process? She is busy busy busy. 

One thing that makes us laugh is that of all her toys laid around her, once I pull out her bag of wipes she tries her hardest to get it. I think that is normal for babies/kids, I hear it often from other moms. Kids playing with the boxes the toys come in, or playing with plastic cups, or with the pots and pans, etc. Any who, the video I posted here is of our little lady crawling to get the wipes. I love her and all that she is accomplishing!! :-)
