I am now 24 weeks pregnant and feeling pretty good. I think Jack-boy is growing a lot because my abdominal muscles feel sore from stretching…

My last appointment was at 22 1/2 weeks and the results from our anatomy ultrasound were great.
I had gained 10 pounds according to the doc.
He still loves eating beef and drinking milk.
My belly button is getting flatter and I suspect it will pop out rather soon. Hott.
Mr. Baby moves and kicks all the time! I love it.
Our favorite thing to do these days is watch baby move in my belly and play “the poking game” with him.
We set up his cradle in our bedroom. We are grateful it has been loaned to us!

So far, Marceau does not get inside the cradle, but rather loves to sleep on the floor underneath it. Whew! He’ll make a good guard cat…

I had my last work trip and feel so relieved I no longer have to jet-set around unless I want to.
Now, I’m nesting. Big time. Cleaning everything. Making household project lists. Organizing closets. Donating excess.
We’re getting ready for you, sweet baby boy!

Yeah baby Jack!
Can’t wait to say hello to you (by yelling at your mom’s tummy)
Ali… you’re totally sticking out your belly… 🙂 ha ha. You look adorable. Can’t wait to meet baby Jack. You should make a shirt that say’s O’Lantern on the belly for halloween. Then, he’ll be a Jack O’Lantern. 😉 He will love the sweet cradle! Keep the updates comin’! xxoo E
I swear I wasn’t sticking out my belly! And yes, I think you just nailed Jack’s Halloween costume for this year, and next year, the year after and the year after that until he makes me stop. And then I’ll tell him it was Aunt Erica’s idea. 😉
Each day is so special watching Jack grow with your nurturance. I love the halloween idea. Dad
OMG Ali!! I’m so excited for you. Your belly is so cute! Can’t wait for more pics!! I would love to see that belly in person, lets get together soon!
