24 wks or 6 mos Pregnant

So I have made it to the 24 week mark! 24 weeks certainly sounds less intimidating then 6 mos.
I am not working right now. Which SUCKS because I hate being home all the time.
I could never be a stay at home mom. I know...I am going to get a lot of flames for that comment, but I could be a good stay at home mom, if I didn't have to be a good wife too. Being home all day is NOT good for my mental well-being at all and I think I would be pretty worthless as a mom if I am totally mental. But that is a discussion for another day...another post...
Anyway, here are a few bullets about 24 weeks...

• The baby kicks A LOT. At this point I can see her kicks and punches under my skin...it is gross and amusing all at the same time.
• I don't sleep well AT ALL. I can't get comfortable at night....I could get a body pillow/pregnancy pillow, but I would have to sleep in another room. Our bed is just not big enough for Jeff, me AND a huge pillow.
• I am fat. I hate it.
• My appetite is REALLY strange...I think because my belly is so big and stretched I just don't feel like eating, I feel overstuffed.... but then I get to the point where I am so hungry that I am about to faint...that feeling comes REALLY fast and is REALLY scary.
• I am very hormonal and that is making life very UN-Harmonious right now...
• I hate it when people say I am not the first woman to get pregnant and have a baby......as if I didn't know.
• I feel alone and misunderstood....A LOT.
• I am afraid we are not going to have everything we need for the baby and because I have been talking about all the baby stuff for so long, Jeff is tired of ALL THINGS baby and has no motivation or desire to continue trying to aquire baby things...this is my own fault....I am even tired of it all.......but being tired of it is NOT going to get the things we need.
• I hate being unprepared and having to scrabble at the last minute.
• I am tired. Mentally, physically, emotionally........I am ready for this to be over.....
• I know it SEEMS like I am not happy about this baby anymore, but I am....I am OVERJOYED to meet this baby, but I am tired of being pregnant....I hate it....
• I am scared.

Cheers,

Kira

21 weeks. It's a......

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We went to the "general anatomy" Ultrasound today....also known as the "big one" :-) She was just PERFECT. Healthy and VERY active. So active that the sonographer had a VERY hard time getting pictures of what she needed. HAHAHAHA.
She was kicking and punching, arching her back. Having a FULL ON TANTRUM in there. Lord, I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I was SO SO sure it was a boy.....she is just SO ACTIVE and I am always feeling movement going on in there, I thought, SURELY this is a crazy, kicking little boy. NOPE, it is a crazy kicking little girl. I actually get worried when she is not moving because she moves so much ALL THE TIME.

Anyway, needless to say Jeff and I are just tickled pink (pun intended) and cannot wait to meet our beautiful baby girl. We are still tossing around names, but will probably keep the name a secret until we meet our beautiful baby girl.

I leave you with a picture of Miss. Thang in a 4D shot that we got for FREE!!!!!
