24 weeks

How I'm feeling: Pretty darn good. Again, tired most days. This baby has got to be sitting side to side in my hips or something because my hips are aching quite a bit lately. Luckily a little heat and stretching seems to help. I really shouldn't complain because life could be worse, but its my blog, so I can do what I want right?!  :-)
Fetal movement: lots! I can now even feel little feet sitcking out from time to time. Which is kinda fun because now I can start to poke this baby back!
Weight gain: 11lbs
Wearing wedding rings: yep
What I'm most excited for today: Watching vi be a big sister. This weekend we made some real progress on potty training. I loved watching her be so proud of herself - it was just adorable. 
What I'm most afraid of: going into labor right around now. This period of time between like 23-28 weeks is always nerve racking to me because when they come out this early, they are so fragile and outcomes are so unknown. I will be excited when I am out of this zone. 
Cravings: none really. Boring I know. I guess if you count my need for coffee or a latte on a daily basis.
Anything make you sick: not really, another boring answer. 
Miss anything: a chilled white wine in the summer time. Or summer time mojitos. Oh, or margaritas. Summers are good for drinking...

Speaking of names, not sharing first off, sorry! :-) I think we have a boy name, but the girl name... I change my mind weekly so we shall see.

22 weeks

This blog post is a little early (not like me at all), but otherwise it may not get done!

How I'm feeling: Well I'm currently on a 24hr call shift in the hospital on the 4th of July while everyone else is having fun in the sun, barbequeing, and drinking... :) Really tho, I'm good. Ask me again tomorrow after I'm done with my shift! Baby is doing good. Moving A TON. Doing pretty large kicks/jabs now, which is fun.
Fetal movement: see above
Weight gain: 9lbs
Wearing wedding rings: yea
What I'm most excited for today: finding out the gender of this little stinker. Also looking forward to the baby snuggles. Those are just the best. There's nothing like holding your new baby, taking in that cute little new baby smell.
What I'm most afraid of: having enough time to enjoy two kids. There never seems to be enough of it for Violet and I, now we're adding another into the mix. I hope I can love them both enough in the little time we have.
Cravings: fruit, I think I may go get some after this!
Anything make you sick: there have been a couple smells lately that have made my stomach turn while at work, but in my line of business, I come across a lot of funky smells...
Miss anything: I easily forget how much harder it is to work out when you're prego. It's just so much easier when you're not carrying extra weight and don't have a belly in your way.

The little guy/girl is kicking me as we speak - just loving it!
