24 weeks

I finally made it to this monumental week! I was so excited to hit 24 weeks because the baby becomes viable. If he was born now he would have a 50/50 chance of surviving which isn't great odds but it makes me so much more comfortable. Having had my sister deliver at 29 weeks it makes it even more important to me to hit every week. I don't believe that I will have the same problem that she did but seeing her go through that it still makes me nervous.

This week has been great because I'm finally showing. I had to switch over to maternity clothes because my pants just weren't as comfortable and I thought that I might be cutting off the circulation to the baby. Now that I got some pants and some shirts I am much more comfortable and I think they make me look even more pregnant. I have actually had people come up to me and ask me when I am due. So exciting!

I thought that I would throw this picture in here for Wes. It's like pulling teeth to get him to take pictures of me and sometimes I get a little crazy.

I also went to a consignment sale and got so much great baby stuff. I went with my wonderful mom and sister who helped me so much. They set out and snagged all the good stuff there. I wouldn't have gotten anything if I had just gone by myself. I was able to get two strollers, a Peg Perego regular stroller and a jogger. We got a bassinet, a bouncy seat, and a Kelty baby backpack for Wes. I could not believe how well that we did and now we are pretty much set on the big stuff. We got a crib from my sister that Wes is refinishing as well as a swing and a jumpy. His room is starting to look like a baby's room and once I have my shower I know that I will be set.
