Our baby girl is quite the kicker and Jordan is starting to feel her more and more.  It's always neat to see my shirt moving from her kicking!  She will be 24 weeks this Saturday, so six months!  She weighs in at a little over a pound.  I went to the doctor yesterday and have gained 13 pounds so far, which is right where I want to be.  I also got an appointment with a physical therapist for my back tomorrow.  No matter what I do, by early afternoon, my mid-back on the left side is killing me!  I'm hoping the therapist has some advice for me.  I got a pre-natal massage last weekend which felt so so nice.  KB enjoyed it too.  : )  I think I'm starting to feel those Braxton-Hicks contractions, which are just practice contractions for the real thing.  They feel like a bad cramp that lasts for about five seconds.

Still out of the house, but I think we will be making progress on it soon.  I would like to say we will be back in sometime in August.  Hopefully soon so I can start thinking about getting the nursery set up!  Well, not really the nursery, but the other half of our bedroom.

Here's the latest belly photo from week 23.  I'm getting big!  This was taken right before bed, so I look a little tired.  : )
