24 Week Update

This week, the baby is approximately the length of an ear of corn, and probably around 1.25 pounds.

I am starting to outgrow the early maternity clothes I received - which is just too bad really. You hate to have to get more now that we are over halfway there - but such is life.

We are 24 weeks along. The baby will be full term at 37 weeks, but most likely will come between 40-42 weeks. So we are nearing the home stretch. Yesterday, Mike and I bought her first real stuff. We got a storage unit for her belongings (clothes and toys etc.) as well as a cute little onesie and a hoodie. So today we worked on cleaning off one of our bookcases so we can make room for her dresser/shelf thingy.

It has been storming like crazy here, and poor Monty the dog is scared silly. He keeps shaking and panting. Every once in a while he forgets there is a storm and recovers, but as soon as he hears the thunder again the shaking starts all over. Hopefully, his little sister will not be as frightened of storms as he is.

Well, that is all I have for today. Tune in next time for more exciting adventures.

  1. Poor Monty! Tater says that he can come visit us any time he wants... we only get thunderstorms a couple of times a year. I think there's only been once (maybe twice) since we've been here that Tater had to be scared.

    And yey for being more than halfway there! My goodness, how time flies!

  2. At this point things proceeding as planned are MUCH better than excitement. Except for Mom and Dad's excitement. You are getting excited about how much this is going to change your lives, right?
