24 weeks

Well, we’ve made it to 6 months. I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy has gone. Of course, I might change my mind about that in a couple of months! I've been feeling the baby more and more all the time. Ben was able to feel him move for the first time a week or so ago, too. I think feeling him move around has been one of the most exciting things for me! I had a doctor’s appointment today and everything looks just fine. Here I am getting bigger all the time…My parents came up over the weekend to bring us a crib and then they took us out to get a mattress, too. The crib is mine from when I was a baby. My Dad got it all fixed up and it looks good as new! It’s fun to have the baby’s bed in the room now. Funny story about the crib—when we were setting it all up, I accidently broke one of the metal pieces and it needed to be re-welded together. My Dad took the piece off and went to go to my local auto mechanic shop to see if he would be able to do it for us. About 5 minutes later he showed back up with the piece all fixed. He happened to drive by someone in our neighborhood (about two blocks from my house) welding in their front yard! So, he hopped out, paid him three dollars, and had him fix my crib! I bet that man was thinking my Dad was crazy, but what good timing for us!
