For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made...

Week 24

I can't believe I'm starting my 6th month of pregnancy already! Time is flying by- especially with the holidays and our vacation coming up just around the corner! 19 days until we will be in beautiful HAWAII! I'm so excited to get some sun and spend time with my hubby and his family!
We had our 24 week check up on Monday and all is well! I won't have another check up until after we get back from our trip in January. It's so crazy to think that after the New Year, I will only have 2.5 months left until baby Redmond is here! I'm getting so impatient already! I want to know what he/she looks like and I just can't wait to hold her/him! Oh yea...and I sorta want to know if it's a HE or SHE. Kind of important too :) Well either way, this baby is becoming more and more active everyday! I got to watch it kick my side yesterday morning when I woke up. So fun to see it and feel it make little thuds in my belly!

Here is a picture of me on Thanksgiving morning:

Best moment this week: Hearing the heartbeat at checkup
Movement: All of the time! Especially before bed and when I wake up
Food cravings: I could eat Chipotle for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
