6 Months (24 weeks): Getting Closer!

So this past Friday, we hit the '6 months' mark! We were thinking "WOW! 6 months already?!?" Time has absolutely flown by and we are so excited to meet our little man in only 3 & 1/2 months.

24 weeks = 6 months!

Over the past 2 weeks....

Symptoms: heart burn (still) and itchy stomach
Cravings: milkshakes
Aversions: none
Sleep: Still uncomfortable but figuring out this pillow thing.

June 13th we went for our 22 week check up. He is growing perfectly and his heart rate is ranging from 149-151. I have to have my glucose test (yuck) done July 6th so hopefully that will go well. Then, we start going every 2 weeks. That will begin my THIRD TRIMESTER!

David felt him kick for the 1st time on June 16th. He was using his stethescope to try to hear Little David's heartbeat and he actually kicked right where he was listening. It was the coolest thing ever! I loved seeing the look on David's face. It was like Little David was saying "I'm here Daddy!" Lil' David has been moving around A LOT! We enjoy watching my stomach move and his kicks are getting stronger and stonger. He's not a performer though...as soon as anyone tries to feel him...he's as calm as can be!

Last week we went on vacation to Garden City Beach with the Mosteller side. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed spending time with everyone! David and I went to Build a Bear Workshop and stuffed Lil' David's 1st bear named Sullivan! We had so much fun and can't wait for Lil' David to get to hold him and love on him. I think he already enjoys the ocean. When we were down at the beach each day, he put on a show by moving my belly around non-stop. (Yes...I was wearing a 2 piece. A tan belly is much cuter then a pale one!) We also went to Wild Water (a waterpark) which was fun...however I didn't get to ride any slides of course. And knowing me....that wasn't easy being a spectator! But we had fun & well on our way to turning David Jr. into a water baby!

Fun in the SUN!

Today, David started a new rotation. He works for 24 hours, then is off for 2 days. Yes, he gets to sleep and yes we are very thankful for this new schedule. He will be home more now and it will be great to have him home like that when Lil' David comes! I grew up with my parents working this type of schedule for most of my life and it's great for making family time! David is excited...however, it will take a while for me to get used to him not being here at night. (Security sysytem = installed!) Plus, he's off Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years! Wahoo! (If you are familiar with this kind of schedule...that's a miracle!)

We will begin the nursery soon! Right now it's pink & green so it definetely needs A LOT of work! We have already registered and 2 showers are already scheduled! We will do a whole post on the nursery when it's done! The only thing I'm telling is the theme: SPORTS! Of course!

We cannot be more thankful for our wonderful family & friends. I get giddy inside when I think about how fast these next few months will fly by!  Like I promised....I'll be posting every 2 weeks!

Love y'all & God Bless! :)
