Month 6, Danny's Birthday, & Summer Plans

Today I had my 24 week appointment and everything is going well! Baby girl is moving around so much and it's fun to feel her. It makes things feel so much more real! Here's the update for this month:

How far along: 24 weeks
Total weight gain: +1 pounds
Maternity clothes: Wearing them pretty regularly now...my regular wardrobe is becoming less & less usable :)
Sleep: Pretty good
Best moment this week/month: Feeling her moving around!!
Miss anything: Having a larger wardrobe selection :P
Movement: Lots! I've been trying to get Danny to feel her, but she always stops kicking when he tries to feel
Food cravings: Anything sweet
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Gender: Girl!!
Symptoms: weight gain, heartburn
Wedding rings on or off: On (off in this picture; getting them redipped/resized)
Mood: Happy everything is going well.
Looking forward to: Making cute baby stuff, finding some girl names we like

Next item of business, Danny's 25th birthday!! He turned 25 on Saturday and we had a fun day! We started with breakfast at McDonald's, played some frisbee, walked on the Riverwalk trail, ate at Firehouse pizza, and watched an action-packed James Bond movie. Of course, there were presents and Cherry Yum-Yum too!

I gave Danny a book (7 Habits of Highly Effective People)...

...and a new polo shirt (which I somehow missed taking a picture of).

Cherry Yum-Yum!

So, we didn't want to buy a 2nd box of candles (packs come in 24), Danny suggested we do a set of 2 candles (left) and a set of 5 (right). turned out pretty good!

Making a wish.
Overall, I think Danny had a fun birthday and still hasn't admitted he's 25 :) Happy Birthday!

Lastly, we're letting y'all know that we're moving to Twin Falls for the summer. Danny has been given this great internship opportunity at Glanbia in Twin Falls and will be helping them open a brand new cheese research facility. He'll be doing exactly what he wants to do when he's done with school. We're going to be moving around mid-May, which means our baby will be an Idaho girl. We're still in the process of finding a place to live in Twin, as well as a doctor for us to use up there. So if anyone knows of any doctors or places to live, we'd love some references :) Anyway, other than that, life is going well and I will be done with school in one more month! :)

  1. WOW...I love that you have only gained 1 pound Vanessa...that is truly awesome! Sounds like a fun birthday...for the quarter of a century old Danny...you can never go wrong with yum-yum! That's so great about the internship...good luck with finding a place to live and doctor to deliver the baby...wish I could help...but I don't have any connections there. :) I'm sure it will all work out. :)

  2. Idaho babies are the best... not that I'm biased or anything :) I wish we were a little closer to Twin Falls so I could help out or give advice. I'll have to ask around to see if anyone has any recommendations. Congrats on the internship Dan! Vanessa, you look awesome and I'm so glad you've had a good pregnancy. It sounds like Danny had a fun birthday & that you guys are doing well!
