Counting down one week more, Now we're done with week 24!
How far along? 24 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +25lbs
Maternity clothes? yes and now I have a pair of MATERNITY JEANS! Never knew how much I missed actual jeans until I got a pair back on! So excited and they make me feel great!
Stretch Marks? No Stretch marks, but I have decided to start using baby lotion all over...I think it is just a good habit to have :)
Sleep: Every night!
Best moment this week: Being able to wear JEANS, feeling great about being pregnant and the way I look and having a good check up at the Doctors along with Noah beginning to move like crazy!
Food cravings: how about aversions...moo juice. yup that is right every time I drink a glass of good old cows milk lately I puke. Hoping it is not my childhood allergy returning and it is just a fluke, but for now no milk. However, ever since I can not stand milk I have wanted Vanilla Ice cream...go figure.
Gender: team peen!
Labor Signs: nope and let's keep it that way four 16 more weeks!
Belly Button in or out? in-e
What I miss: Not being randomly kicked in the bladder and feeling like I am going to pee myself :)
What I am looking forward to: Going home to Michigan in a few weeks and seeing all of my family and friends. Reading more Stories to Noah.
Weekly Wisdom: Take time to slow down and just focus on your baby and your body. Do something EVERYDAY that just makes you feel good about yourself, from painting your toes, to putting on makeup, taking a walk, a nap, or just sitting in Silence. Yes this time is about your baby, but it is also about you. Love Life and everything that comes with it.

This last weekend i got the itch to do a project and I began with Noah's Nursery! Needless to say once i get the itch I almost always have to do the project until it is done. So I bought the supplies on Wed afternoon after my doctors appointment, and the madness began. The painting was complete by Friday night at 9:30, including the 76 1/2 dots on two walls! Although the nursery is not completely done I wanted to share some photos of it on here! Wes was kind enough to help me hang the shelves on the wall and in the closet along with the curtain rods! I hope Noah enjoys the bright colors and things to look at when it is all complete!
Saba had to help supervise the entire process!
Hand painting all the edges on the dots with the tiniest brush ever!

I plan on shortening the curtains eventually so the fall just above the bed. 
Most of the Winnie the Pooh figurines I had over the years.
The consignment shop table, The rocker from Mom and Dad Sutton and the hand made Bassinet/cradle from Dad Sutton! I can not wait to see the crib he is making for us and get the bedding on it!

Noah's Nursery!
Needless to say I got the bug to do ALL the projects this last weekend, but the biggest of them was painting and putting the nursery together! I had friends who said they would help, but I am just the type of person who has to get the project done the moment I decide to do it, so needless to say starting on Wed after I saw the doctor the painting began. By Friday night at 9:30 pm the painting was complete. All done by yours truely. I enjoyed doing it though and being able to bless Noah with a fun filled room. Wes helped me install the closet shelves, and shelves on the wall along with the curtain rods too. Although it is not completely done I wanted to share the beginning of the progress. (there are no pictures of the closet because I really have to organize and clean it out now!)

Week 23!
How far along? 23 weeks, and as excited as i am to meet our little man, I think I am going to miss being pregnant too!
Total weight gain/loss: ummm...so I suppose I should keep answering this since I started it...but let me just say that I think somewhere in the last two months I forgot how to add the difference between my scale and the docs because I didn't put on the extra weight over night. Anyways I went to the Doc's on Wed and the official weight is +24 pounds, GOD that is scary! Worth it but scary that a human can gain that much in such a short time! Let's just say I hope the urges to run continue after I give birth!
Maternity clothes? yes and i love the Lion's T-Shirt from my brother!
Stretch Marks? amazingly I do not have any and I haven't used anything to prevent them...crazy
Sleep: Am I pregnant? I feel normal lately. One trip to the potty all night long and 7+ hours of sleep a night!
Best moment this week: Getting my neck and back adjusted and having my headache go away! Also having My first baby shower at Katie's house! So much fun! Oh and being able to clean my house all in one day! Loved it!
Food cravings: Nope, although one would think that with all that added weight would!
Gender: A Sutton Male
Labor Signs: nope
Belly Button in or out? in-e
What I miss: Having more than 6 shirts and a couple pants to wear! You am I kidding pregnant or not that is about all I had! I am going on a shopping spree when this baby weight is off!
What I am looking forward to: Bonding with Noah over the coming weeks, and getting the nursery painted and together this weekend!
Weekly Wisdom: Enjoy every moment, even when you get kicked in the bladder hard enough to make you almost pee yourself!

Our first Baby Shower!
Last Sunday my friend Katie threw us a baby shower! It was such a good time to just get together with friends and celebrate the new life that is coming into this world!
