I am already 24 weeks along! I am really starting to feel pregnant. I am noticing that it is harder to be comfortable sitting for a long period of time and notice it is harder to bend over at times. The baby is kicking more now and he is more active during the nighttime, usually when I am relaxing.
People have been starting to ask me if I am pregnant--it is kind of a neat bond that you have with the world when you are pregnant--people want to talk with you more openly and people are very kind and generous as well. I have also noticed that same feeling of having a child---you become more connected with the world in some way.
We are still trying to ease Liam into the idea that there is a baby in my tummy--which is a very abstract concept for a 1.5 year old. When I lift up my shirt so he can see my tummy he now says "ball"--which I guess it does kind of look like that. I currently think it is cute that he thinks I look like a ball but if I wasn't pregnant I don't think it would be so endearing. :)
We haven't done much with the new nursery. We have a crib and dresser thanks to John's parents but are still waiting to find the perfect bedding and then from there do some painting--hope he doesn't come too early because we are still a ways off in being prepared. :)
