Finishing week 16...moving right along to 17!

We are entering into the mid-stretch of this pregnancy.  I am finishing week 16 today.  It seems like this is flying by faster than I could have ever imagined.  All vitals at my last appointment were right on target.  We will be announcing the gender next month.  Stay tuned for that!

I have been feeling like my normal self for the past month or so.  The tiredness has passed.  My crazy energy is back.  My inability to sit still for any length of time has returned.  All signs point to NORMAL in my life! I can't complain at all.  I have been feeling movement daily (sometimes by the minute).  I loved being pregnant with Connor and so far this one has been no different.  I love the feelings.  I love what our bodies are capable of doing.  I love everything about everything when it relates to pregnancy!  It is such a joy and blessing to have God give me such a gift.  I will forever be grateful for Him.

We are getting ready to start the baby room.  Our spare bedroom has collected various things since we moved in a few years ago.  This will be a real treat :).  We will begin the "prepare for life" phase in the next few weeks.  I will post pictures of our progress as it happens. 

My work schedule is tight tight tight until June 15 (so basically until this baby in born) so I have been trying to take it one step at a time in order to properly plan and conquer everything that needs to happen before arrival.  What a process!  This was way easier as a stay at home wife the last time I took on this challenge of pregnancy :). 

Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!  We have a full weekend of straight family and I couldn't be more thrilled for that!
