24 Weeks - Boo is Super Active!

BABY BOO IS 24 WEEKS OLD, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A CAULIFLOWER
HE IS USING HIS HANDS TO EXPLORE A NEW WORLD OF TACTILE SENSATIONS

It's really amazing how Boo is responding to my movements now.  If I'm sitting back in my chair and then lean forward, he punches and kicks up a storm haha!  Same thing happens if I roll over in bed.  I am loving this stage so much.  It's amazing to feel him move and respond.  Proves there's a little person in there with his own mind and his own feelings.   And to SEE him move is even more amazing!!  I could play games with him for hours :)  He'll kick, I'll push back, and he'll kick my hand again.  I even think I felt his head at one point, and every time I put my hand over it he'd start kicking and punching a TON.  I think it wasn't comfortable for him haha!  So I only did that a couple times.  After a while I couldn't feel his head in that spot anymore.  I think it was his head - it was a domed round spot, slightly firmer than any other spot on my belly.  And then it wasn't there anymore, like he moved.  Tim is in Cincinnati for a few days this week to do some training for work, so I'm sorry he wasn't here to play along with us.  

This past weekend I got a big help from my friend Kristin - she lent me a bunch of her maternity clothes!  Her little guy, Adler, was born last summer so she had tons of stuff I could borrow.  I am so grateful for it!  These things add up and it's saving me a lot of money.  She had the most adorable maxi dress which I intend to get a lot of use out of, as well as many nicer tops that she used for work but that I could use for going out to dinner and such.  The outfit I'm wearing in the photo above is more normal for me at work, we don't dress up at all.  She also had a pretty bridesmaids dress she wore when she was 36 weeks in her friend's wedding and she's letting me borrow it for my cousin's wedding this summer!  I'm not in the wedding, but I needed something dressy and her dress is perfect.
