{Pregnancy}: 24 Weeks

24 weeks pregnant is such a good place to be when I think back to the first 17 weeks. I still have to take my zofran every morning or I get super sick, but it's such a stark difference that more than anything, I just feel blessed to be able to feel somewhat normal again.
 Call me crazy, but I feel like I should be writing more down about my pregnancy because I know that in various ways- I really am going to miss it.

Don't get me wrong- waking up multiple times a night to go to the bathroom, not being able to eat much in one sitting, heartburn, randomly blacking out/puking, and the ability to fall asleep practically anywhere aren't necessarily the most fun things I've ever done in my life.

However, feeling my baby move around and kick is the most priceless feeling in the whole world. It makes all the other stuff just melt away and fills my heart with pure joy. At least once a day, I like to just lay down and enjoy feeling him kick around. Sometimes I feel kind of guilty that I'm the only one that gets to enjoy it so much; Brian probably gets sick of me asking if he wants to feel the baby kick so often...but I just love it so much that I want to share it with someone else!

Speaking of kicking, little Baby Wilson is kicking full force nowadays. Sometimes if my hands are on my stomach, when he kicks it literally moves my hand up and out. He is pretty active and loves to nestle somewhere under my lower left rib when I'm sitting down...or maybe it's just his hand- who knows? (I don't necessarily enjoy that as much as HE seems to)!

And of course, he is already a little tease...but we already knew that after the gender ultrasound! He will be kicking a ton, then the second someone tries to feel him- he stops completely. It's almost comical how many times it's happened; I feel like the pregnant lady who cried wolf.

I could go on for days, but I will just sum it up by saying that I am so excited to meet him and I love him to pieces already. I feel so blessed to be able to carry his little spirit with me everywhere I go and I already dread the day that I have to be apart from him.
