Pregnancy Update

I realized that I have yet to post much about the pregnancy on the blog or put any pictures of my baby bump on here. So, here goes.
I had the best of intentions to take a picture every 4 weeks or so and post regularly about the pregnancy (once again, thank you Pinterest for putting ideas into my head), but life happens and we have been busy as ever and so my "on top of it" blogging has gone by the wayside. Oh well!
16 weeks (so funny to look at this picture now, because at this point, I was starting to "really feel and look pregnant." ha!)

Today at almost 24 weeks...boom!

Now this is really looking pregnant.
As you can see, I'm carrying this baby right up around my rib cage just as I did with Will and Andrew. I just have such a short torso that I think that's the only way I can carry a baby.
This pregnancy has gone by really quickly! Again, probably having to do with that "busy as ever, having 2 kids already" thing we have going on. :)
I have thankfully been feeling really good once I made it out of the first trimester. I have had lots of energy so I have still been able to go to 2 or 3 aerobics classes a week, which makes me very happy! Also, I have been feeling lots and lots of movement from our little girl. She is a very active baby and seems to be on the move all day long.
We still have not decided on a name for our little girl yet! It is a little bit of a sensitive subject in this house. I am starting to really want to have a name picked out, but Dan just can't decide on one he likes. I'm glad we found out that we were having a girl at 19 weeks. Otherwise, I could see us being that couple in the hospital waiting to go home with no name for the baby yet. :)
My friends here in town have been soooo generous in passing on a lot of newborn/little baby clothes. Thanks to them, she has so many cute little onesies and sleepers to wear right away!
There is still no real decorating going on in the nursery. I have some pillows that I picked up the other day that are now my "inspiration" so I should be able to start building on that soon. I think I'm really going to have fun with all the soft, girly colors.
Well, I think that catches up on everything for now. I will try to post another bump picture soon, but no promises! ;)
