24 Weeks

How Far Along: 24 weeks. Officially 6 months pregnant! She is approx. 12 inches long and is on her way to becoming a little chunky monkey!

How I'm Feeling: Some days I feel like we've come so far (which we have!) and some days I feel like we still have so far to go. I am still enjoying this phase though, she is more and more active every day! I am also feeling excited and relieved because we found out this week that Dylan will be home from deployment early & in time for Layla's birthday. God is good!

Weight Gain/Loss: Haven't weighed since my last doctor's appointment, but I would say I've gained judging by the pictures I just saw of myself! I can mainly see it in my face in pictures, and I can tell I'm a just a little bigger everywhere else.

Cravings: Halloween candy! Ha. I'm balancing out my candy consumption with lots of vegetables. My appetite is never ending. I think I'm in trouble with all of the holidays coming...I'll be whale status in no time!

Gender: Girl. I am so excited with some little things I found at my favorite flea market to go in her nursery!

What I Miss: not much...maybe a good bottle of vino & sleeping on my back. 

What I'm Looking Forward To: Finding out when Dylan will be back. We have to plan whether or not I will move back to NC or stay in Atlanta. It will all depend on how late in the game they send him home..

Weekly Wisdom: Start collecting nursery items early. It's been less overwhelming and more fun for me to find random things while I'm out and about. It never fails, if I'm looking for something last minute I will not be able to find it! I want her room to feel collected, not bought. A good flea market is a great place to find some cool little things! Here are a few things I bought this weekend..

Vintage White Frame:: I'm planning to add a decorative "L" or monogram.

Small grouping to go on a shelf by her dresser!
