A corny reflection at 24 weeks

Cappy is as long as an ear of corn.

So my email update tells me that my uterus is the size of a soccer ball this week. Gross. Baby is about a foot long and has been gaining weight rapidly- 4 ounces this week! (That explains the kiwi, right?) Actually, Cappy may really like kiwi as his taste buds have started working. He kicks up a storm, especially from about 7-9pm. His kicks are strong and often aimed major organs, such as my bladder. Actually, if he's hanging out the same way that he was for the ultrasound that could be headbutts to my bladder.

Its so hard to believe that I am already 6 months pregnant since it feels like we just found out that we were expecting. The reality has set in and we are starting to get ready to welcome home baby in about 4 months (remember- baby doesn't come until you hit the 10 month mark!) Between the two of us, Joe and I have three amazing dads who all are willing to help us get ready for Cappy. We would like to convert our loft into our bedroom and our bedroom will become the nursery. The plan is to paint the nursery and maybe even add in some bookshelves, if Cappy's grandpa Fischer can come out from Minnesota. My awesome father in law, Dennis, has even offered his services to help with figuring out how to make our loft into a real room. We're just so thankful that we have such a supportive family to help us make the transition to a family of three.
