24 weeks..

So close yet still so far away! There are some days that I feel huge and some days that I feel like my belly hasn't had much change at all. I know I know I still look tiny, but that doesn't mean I don't feel big. You kind of forget that feeling of a soccer ball in front of you after not having it for 3 years. Not to mention going from 109 to 130 (yes I have already gained 21 pounds) is a HUGE change for someone that was so tiny. Putting shoes on and shaving my legs are getting a little hard, but I have Aaron that will help and Rylee is very eager to help with putting my shoes on. The little one is about 12 inches long give or take and weighs 1 pound give or take. She moves around like crazy especially when I am eating yummy food:) Its so much fun to watch her kick from the outside! Sometimes I feel like she is going to kick right through my ribs or right through my skin. I love that she likes to hang out very low only cause I have had enough issues with my ribs from my enormous boobs so I will enjoy that while I can. I have been having "braxton hicks" like crazy since about 20 weeks. I hate to even call them braxton hicks only because they aren't just the tightening feeling, its full blown contractions! If you would have asked me 5 weeks ago if I remembered what a contraction was like I wouldn't have been able to tell you. All I remember with Rylee was they HURT, but I completely forgot the feeling till one day at the store with Aaron when I was 20 weeks. I literally had to sit down in the middle of the store and told Aaron we had to leave now! By the time we got to the door I was much better. Since then I have had them on and off ever since! Some are lighter than others but then there are some that I have to excuse myself from whatever we are doing. My doctor pretty much said welcome to baby #2 pregnancy. I am happy to know that they are 100% normal and its nothing to worry about. Other than that everything is great!!

I have officially been on my first Spring Break now for almost a week and it has been really nice! My classes aren't so hard yet so even Spring Break doesn't really feel like a Spring Break to me. It pretty much feels like any other day just without my easy homework.
Its been a pretty busy week doing different things here and there and very enjoyable! I had a girls dinner with 2 or my good friends. We literally just sat at the table from 6 to 9 talking about life in general. It was really good to go out with great girlfriends without alcohol (seeing as none of us drink anymore) and just talk about our lives, No lame drama just fun adult conversations.
Then today my Brother-in-law had is graduation from Neumont receiving his Bachelors degree in computer science and all of us couldn't be more proud of him. He has worked his butt of to get where he is and has accomplished something amazing. 
I am so excited for Saturday! We are going to the festival of colors with a big group of people and then we usually hike up to the hot springs in Spanish fork. Of course only my feet will be able to enjoy that, but I'm sure they will need it after the long hike. Then a great relaxing day on Sunday followed by the start of our trip to DISNEYLAND! Rylee is so excited, she wakes up every morning with a count down till we can go and anyone she sees she has to tell them she is going there and will see lots of princesses and ride in the tea cups. I love that girl more than she will ever know!!
