Barefoot and pregnant


24 weeks

I am now in the last week of my 2nd trimester. I can't believe that it's already gone by so fast! I'm starting to show a lot more and people (including my previous students at school) are finally getting over the fact that I didn't just gain weight, or get implants. :) There really is a baby inside of there! I actually have proof of that, too...I finally felt Little Bit kick with my hand!!! I've been feeling it move on the inside plenty, but tonight he/she actually kicked my hand. That was an awesome feeling! Sadly, Drew is in Gulf Shores right now and he didn't get to feel it. Hopefully, Little Bit will put on a show for him when he gets back tomorrow.

I don't get nervous until I start thinking about my friend Ashley, who is due any day now. For some reason her delivery date makes me more anxious than my own due date. Somehow it gives me a reality check that my time is just around the corner. This is me and Ashley at a recent wedding shower.

Other updates with me and Little Bit: My ankles keep doing this magic trick of disappearing; but they reappear after I go swimming or do Water Aerobics. That has been my saving grace, especially now that I'm back at school teaching. The human body is such an interesting thing! Also, I'm close to getting my full appetite back!!! I still haven't been able to stomach steak (my favorite food ever) or a lot of chicken, but I do like chocolate again!
