Time is flying by! Baby enjoyed baby's first Thanksgiving meal, shared with the great grandparents from NC! Baby really does love the Thanksgiving spread--I have been craving holiday fare for quite a few months now and got lots of kicks and swirls in response to the goodness (followed by tryptophane induced sleep?).
Baby is growing so fast--approx 13.5 inches long and weighing over 1.5 pounds. The baby is supposed to start bulking up now and should be in the process of growing a thick head of hair. Tomorrow is the 25 week mark.
Baby moves a ton. Generally less kicking than I expected, but lots of movement nonetheless. Last week I had my 24 wk check up and the doctor could barely get baby's heartbeat to stay in the monitor for more than a few seconds before baby darted across to the other side of my stomach. It was funny watching the doctor try to follow the little one all over the place.
I have been reading some old wive's tales on how to know if it is a boy or girl. We still totally want to be surprised, but I think it is fun to speculate (and a hoot to read some of the things they think are clear signs one way or the other). According to legend, we are mostly having a girl. :)
Grandma Ann came laiden with gifts from the NC family. It is so fun to collect these wee things. I love watching my office develop into the baby room/office more and more.

I get a KICK out of you...
Little Baby Truman is getting more and more active. Kyle was cuddling with me very early Sunday morning and got kicked! Last night we had friends from church over and I jumped when Baby delivered a swift kick--the most powerful yet. This morning I woke up to rhythmic hiccups in my belly. It is fun and strange to begin feeling so much.
I continue to crave all things pumpkin--thanks goodness it's the right time of year for such goodies. I made pumpkin biscotti last night--yum! I am in good spirits but more tired. I took a nap three days last week. I am also getting more sore. My back, hips and a stinking nerve in my backside are acting up. I'm also having problems with my hands and wrists--poor circulation and lots of tingling and shaking. It's weird how much pregnancy affects the entire mama.
