Week 24 Review

My Favorite Thing this week...
My favorite thing about week 24 is AT kicking SO much more! He actually wakes me up occasionally "saying hello". Okay, I know what you're saying, 'yeah Shell, that's cute NOW but just wait'. Oh, but dear friends we have waited so long! I just laugh and love knowing he is happy and comfy in his temporary home! Each kick is special and just between us. When he doesn't kick for awhile I really miss it. Quite often I will see my shirt "jump" and I just giggle. I wonder if people around me think I swallowed an alien or something. Haha! A couple times over the past week a couple people couldn't tell that I was pregnant! Actually, it was just one sales person but still! I almost cried!

Funny Symptoms this week...
Well, that's not really anything special. I cry about EVERYTHING! And I mean everything. I cried watching "Beauty Shop", and two other movies this afternoon. I cried during Shrek 3 two nights ago. I cry while singing songs. Don't get me started on everything in Japan...I can't watch the news anymore. And, if anything really upsetting happens, just lock me away for at least a couple hours. Craziness I tell you! And the scatterbrain thing is in FULL swing! I drove 45 minutes into NJ recently while trying to get to Target which is 10 minutes from home. I get lost going out of my driveway! Haha! It is so pathetic that I had to share with you so you can laugh!

A Wonderful Memory from this week...
My terrific sister (in-law) threw me a baby shower at mom's house while we were in Georgia last Saturday. It was so lovely! Several of my best friends came and we enjoyed visiting and great food! I was so amazed by everyone's generosity and thoughtfulness! I couldn't believe it! My mom helped a lot with the shower too. It was such a blessing to see all the love that Marcia and Mom put into these few precious hours just for AT and I!
Our visit to Georgia was great overall. It was wonderful to spend some time with precious friends and family. We also got to spend most of Sunday with Mema and Grandpa Eagan (Roland's grandparents). It was a wonderful visit, they are just so terrific! I enjoyed spending some time alone with Mema while we cooked dinner and Roland and Grandpa did...something, I'm not sure what to be honest. Ms. Lori came to the shower and we got to eat dinner with her afterward. It was nice to get to visit. I got to spend some time with girlfriends that I rarely get to see. We got some alone time with Grami and mom too.

As the second trimester wraps up we are in full preparation mode now which is so much fun! Our home is starting to look like a baby lives here which is just incredible for both Roland and I! We are so thankful! We hope you are having a terrific week as well. Blessings to you!
