24 Weeks

I'm a few days late on this but its hard to believe I'm already 24 weeks along. Here's a quick synopsis of what Peapod has been up to this past week from my weekly emails.

"Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts her at over a pound. Since she's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), she cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but her body is filling out proportionally and she'll soon start to plump up. Her brain is also growing quickly now, and her taste buds are continuing to develop. Her lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help her air sacs inflate once she hits the outside world. Her skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon." Thank you babycenter.com.



She has been kicking all day long. I wonder what I've eaten that's given her so much energy?! Maybe she is just as excited about the weekend as I am. No big plans, just small relaxing plans.
Zzzz.
Knit knit knit.

That's my big plans so far.

I took new baby bump pics yesterday. Wanna see?





Yes I dared to take the bare belly picture...eek... TMI?! Even though I see it for myself everyday and don't think too much about it (most of the time...), seeing it in this picture sortof freaks me out!

Neat to see how I'm progressing though. I should be much better about taking weekly pictures, but I'm not. Sorry. I'll blame the Giant. He's the photographer... ;) Sorry Hubs.

Ok, that's all I've got for now.



Oh wait!! I'll leave you with this. On my way home today from work, I was driving on the interstate and saw something interesting. Caught in the corner of my eye, I saw a LARGE bird flying straight towards my car about 40 feet above. First thought, cool, he's huge! Second thought, hmm, that's a rather large fish in his mouth... as it flies almost directly above my car. Third thought, SPLAT!!!....GROSS!!! blood on my windshield! Final thought, PUKE! BLAH! *#$!@! GAG!!!!

It looked a little something like this...



...except over my car. (this is the image I got when I googled "bird flying with fish in mouth" or something like that...

Ok, NOW, that's all I've got for now...! Have a good weekend my friends!
