24 weeks!

I am almost 6 months along! Can you believe how fast it's been going?! I think it helps that I'm so busy, I lose track of time. School started last week so I'm at school from 7am-3:30pm. Well, more like 4pm... The day flies by! I'm the teacher's aid for kindergarten all morning, have lunch with Madeline and then have a 5th grade math group and a 6th grade reading group. I'm still coaching dance team two days a week, Madeline has soccer two days a week and she starts ballet one day a week next week. I'm still going to drills for fire department but will be stopping that soon. Not that I need to, but the guys I work with are way too protective! LOL They don't want me to over do it. Oh, how sweet. I'm mainly taking my break now so they stop being so concerned at drills! I'll head back in February.
I still feel fabulous! I've been having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions lately that stop me in my tracks. They happen the most at the end of the day when I'm exhausted. Miss Libby is so active now! Well, she probably always has been but now that she's a few ounces over a pound I can really feel her movements. My next appointment is on the 23rd when they take a glucose test. Oh joy! I have to drink a highly sugar filled suryp type substance to see if my body tolerates it. It's gross! I don't get an ultra sound for another few weeks. I wish I could see her at every appointment!
Well, here's my belly pic for this week. I've put on 12 pounds... 6 in my butt, 1 in each boob and 4 in my belly! LOL I saw a shirt that said "My rear end is to counter balance my belly." I thought it was perfect for how I'm feeling about my weight! Anywho... Enjoy and I'll keep you all posted in another 4 weeks unless something happens that I must tell you all!
