24 Week Update

I had my follow up ultrasound this morning and it went pretty well. While my placenta is still low, it's moving out of the way in the right direction. My tighter restrictions have been lifted and I think I picked Harrison up ten times after we got home. This means that I won't end up on bed rest and, barring other complications, I should be clear from a c-section. 

Round ligament pain is, well, a pain. Not severe, and I brought it up to the doctor, but it's just nagging and comes in bursts throughout the day. 

Though today has been a rough day, I've been feeling much better on a whole. I think my mood today has less to do with the pregnancy and more to do with the weather. I get the SAD every winter and I should probably look into one of those special lamps. My motivation and energy are completely zapped and I'm sure it's more than being pregnant. I also get really crabby when I'm like this. I don't like being crabby. 

That all being said, since I've been feeling less sick, my excitement is growing! I'm so excited to have another baby! Every time I see a baby, I get a gushy and ecstatic. I love babies! Also, Harrison learned how to say 'baby' this morning, and it's adorable. :) 

He is mastering words with more than one syllable. Instead of calling me 'mama', now he calls me 'mommy' and seems very proud about it. He also has daddy (instead of dada), yellow, and green added to his vocabulary. Most of his words are still indecipherable, but I seem to be able to translate okay. 

First time at Macy's Santaland. Had fun, but it was short and Harrison's favorite part was the gift shop. 

Harrison did business at grandpa's office.

Cutie!

Writing his letter to Santa. 

Costco! (I had him say 'kitty' for the picture, this made him happy!)
