The weekend after we traveled to North Carolina for our shower, we were blessed enough to have another shower in Louisville. The friends and family that threw this shower did such a great job! We are so thankful baby Tripp is loved so much.

Durham Baby Shower
Jim's family was so sweet to throw us our first baby shower. We made the all too quick trip the weekend of August 17th to be showered with such lovely well wishes and gifts. We loved seeing everyone and Tripp came out ahead with a lot of great gear.

Week 26
My second trimester is FLYING by. I can't believe we are almost to the thrid trimester. I say the first trimester felt like it lasted forever because you are keeping this HUGE secret you want to share with everyone... plus you are sicker than a dog and counting down the days to the second trimester hoping for some relief. But this trimester has truly flown by. I also blame the fact that it was summer break and time goes at rapid speed during any school break. Apparently if you are in the "feeling great" second trimester, it goes even faster :o)
How far along: 26 weeks
How far along: 26 weeks
Total Weight Gain: Back to Pre Pregnancy weight
Maternity Clothes: Yes
Sleep: sleeping okay, other than restroom breaks every couple hours!
Best Moment of the Week: When the baby moves now to our touch, Jim's voice, a flashlight, etc.
Movement: Movin' and a Groovin'
Food Cravings: I have needed ice cream every night! Okay, maybe I don't need it, but it sure felt like it!
Symptoms: My abdominal muscles feel like they are pulled/sore. I guess baby Hill is needing some more room and is making it!
Week 24
How far along: 24 weeks
Total Weight Gain: just about caught up to my starting weight!
Maternity Clothes: Yes!
Sleep: I am sleeping pretty well!
Best Moment of the Week: surviving my first week back to work!
Movement: We have been able to SEE him move recently-- not just FEEL him!
Food Cravings: Ice Cream and Dessert
Symptoms: This isn't a symptom, but a new finding--- School started back this week
(year-round schedule) and I am quickly finding that tasks I used to do
with little problem are getting much harder: putting up bulletin board
paper and border, bending down to pick up the pen I've dropped, leaning
over tables, etc.
