24 weeks

Yep, I'm pregnant.  That's about all there is to say about that ;)  The past couple of weeks in church I have been getting people all of a sudden realizing that my belly is a lot bigger than before!  It's so funny to see the looks on their faces, like, 'where did that come from?' 

If I look tired in the above picture, it's probably because I am.  It is so hard for me to get back to sleep after my 3am potty trips, sometimes it takes a couple of hours.  And lately my hips have been bothering me a lot more when I sleep, so I end up on the couch a lot of nights, because it has that nice groove in the middle for my hips to dip into. 
This pregnancy in general reminds me a lot more of Quincey's, I am swollen... had to retire the wedding ring, and have to sleep on the couch, and no matter what I do, I gain 10 hundred million of pounds.  Things were so different with Maiya, I slept in my bed at night the whole time, I wore my wedding ring the whole time, I didn't swell, and I only gained half a million of pounds without any extra effort.  So, if you go on the theory that gender follows similar pregnancy symptoms, than my vote is boy.  But, I know that that is not always the case. 
Speaking of Gender, my midwife told me they have a really old ultrasound machine that they call WALL-E. (haha), and offered to give it a try to see if they could tell the gender.  So we did.  Now, to rewind a bit, the first ultrasound tech, said he couldn't really tell, but he was leaning toward girl.  And of course with the midwife, she said she couldn't tell for sure, but is leaning toward a boy!  So, we are back at square one.  Oh how fun the suspense is! :)  We are so excited.

I have trouble with my hips during pregnancy as well...more so with the first 2 than this last one. The muscles ache so much. I use those icy/hot patches (the back size) and put them on my hips and they work like magic. I don't know if that's your problem, but it works for me! By the way, I think you look great...and I'm voting boy. :)
