24 Week Belly shot

The other day I went back to my blog reading about when I was pregnant with Caroline. I was interested to see the differences! Then I saw the belly shots and realized I haven't taken a single belly shot with this little gal, besides the night we found out we were expecting. So, here is a belly shot of me tonight, the end of my 24th week with #2.

Here is my belly shot in my 24th week with Caroline!

I guess my belly looks about the same size. I have been thinking that I seem smaller than I was with Caroline - but maybe I can only remember how gigantic I was towards the end. I'm hoping for an 8 pounder, at least, instead of a 9-er like Caroline. But, you know what, I guess it doesn't matter because Caroline was healthy and great at 9 pounds and that's all I can really hope for.

People ask me all the time how I am feeling. I've been feeling great lately. I love that I understand how I should appreciate feeling good at this stage. :-) I feel like a normal person again, instead of a sleepy zombie like the first trimester. And my belly isn't too big to get in the way. I'm not swollen, I don't feel huge - I just feel good!

I also love feeling this little girl move around. She is ACTIVE! Way more active than I remember Caroline being. Another funny comparison from 24 weeks with Caroline and now - in my post I said that David hadn't felt Caroline move yet, but David felt this little bit move a long time ago! The other night I was rocking Caroline to sleep and baby girl was kicking and squirming so much that Caroline sat up to look at what was going on with my belly. I laughed and told her that her little sister was just saying good night! :-)
