week 24 - our growing baby

has it really been that long since i've posted?! wow... it's been over a week. here you can see my growing soccer ball. that's about the size of my belly right now if you can believe it. baby b continues to be quite active. i am still encouraging him to stick to the 7/10/1/4 schedule. strangely enough he does actually seem to cooperate around 10 and 1, both AM and PM :). he is about a foot long (more than half way there in length!) and weighs over a pound - which means there's about 6 pounds to go, right?

every day, God shows us what a miracle this journey is. and, every day it becomes more real. my clothes don't feel comfortable anymore, even with a rubber band. so i've graduated to stretchy pants AND stretchy tops now. i am still trying to sneak in a pair of heels every now and again, but i'm mostly on flats these days. people on BART tend to be more open to letting me sit down if i'm not sportin' 3.5 in. heels. and in fact - a woman on BART gave up her seat for me. IT'S THE REAL DEAL!!!
