Pregnancy Update: Week 24!

I totally skipped last week’s pregnancy update because last week was so crazy! I can’t believe that I’m six months along now. The busy holiday season is helping to make the days and weeks go by fast.

Overall I think I’m doing pretty good. Last week was challenging with all the commotion of Thanksgiving, family, traveling, and food to fix. That would have been ok, but add to it our Black Friday sale we had at Deborah & Co. and life got pretty hectic around here! I knew I would be working a lot last week and just planned on everything else being as simple as possible. I normally make homemade crescent rolls for Thanksgiving, but this time around  I bought frozen rolls at Sam’s Club instead. 🙂

One night I was up late and ended up blacking out while sitting in a chair. I have low blood pressure at times so it wasn’t a first, but I called it a night and went to bed, while Sean stayed up much later doing graphic design work. 🙂 Our girls watched Homestead Blessing DVD’s  while we worked, and our boys read a lot and built legos after school was done. It all worked out, and after two days of shipping orders we are getting caught up!

Baby movements are getting more strong! I’m just waiting for the time when it starts kicking under my ribs. 😉 I love feeling it move around, and it cheers me up when I’m feeling tired.

I really enjoy wearing maxi dresses when I’m pregnant. I don’t buy very many dresses because they are hard to nurse a baby in, but it is a nice change for maternity wear. Plus they are so comfortable! This is a dress I’ve had with previous pregnancies (Motherhood brand). I’ve found some nice, gently used dresses on ThredUP, and normally put a cropped layering shell or a Halftee under them, and a cardigan for warmth. Works great, and I feel all snuggly warm! 🙂

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
