24 weeks? My how the time is flying by. It seems like I was just celebrating being at the halfway point only a few days ago.
Now that everyone knows the baby is a boy, the gifts are flooding in. My mom has already sent some clothes and a bunch of things we registered for. (Thanks mom!) We bought a crib and picked out the paint for the nursery.
The baby is getting bigger and bigger. I can feel him moving a lot. Cat still can't feel it on the outside but hopefully he will be able to soon.
We've been playing music for him and Cat has been reading to him. The reading is an added benefit for me because I, too, enjoy a bedtime story.
I made a big decision last week regarding my little parakeet that we've had since we moved to West Sacramento. He was getting so neglected and I knew it would only be worse for him when the baby comes. So I asked my friend Cassandra if her kids could adopt him. She said yes and they picked him up today. I was very sad to see him go but he and the kids seemed very happy together. I'm sure they will take excellent care of him and give him all the attention and love that he needs. And I'll be able to visit him whenever I like.
Still...it is very quiet here without him. Fortunately, it won't be long before the house if filled with baby noises. :)
