Wow only 100 days left!! Tomorrow we will be in double digits...yay!!! It's a little hard to believe that we are already at this point.
The last couple of weeks I have felt really good (other than my hips and back starting to bother me occasionally). I guess that just goes with the territory. I am excited for my next ultrasound, maybe Baby Liefer won't be so stubborn and show us his/her face. :) It's also hard to believe that this will probably be our last ultrasound.
A little less than 3 weeks until our third trimester begins!!

Week 24
I had my regular 4 week check-up on week 24. Baby Liefer has a nice strong heartbeat! I have one more four week appointment and then I start going every 2 weeks. Oh and I also get to take the glucose test before my next appointment (really not looking forward to that). No pictures this time so I will just leave you with some stats...
How far along? 24 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Still down 4 lbs from original weight
Sleep: What's this? - If I sleep longer than 3 hours - I am impressed.
Best Moment this week: Of course hearing the heartbeat at the doctor's office.
What I miss: Other than a good night's sleep (which won't happen again for years) - nothing
Movement: Definitely getting stronger
Food Cravings: The most defined craving was a Whopper from Burger King...one weekend I was bound and determined to get one of these things. I did too. :)
What I am looking forward to: Ultrasound in four weeks

Something New...
It has come time to say good-bye to the two door car and hello to a family vehicle.
After eleven years and 127,000+ miles, this has finally been traded off...
I would have used a picture from when I purchased the car but I believe that was before digital cameras were even invented!!!
And we are now the proud new payment makers of this...
A 2012 Chevy Equinox!
Cardinal Playoff Game
Let me just say...it's awesome having in-laws that have season tickets for the St. Louis Cardinals. They offered us playoff tickets for Game 3 of the NLCS...and you better believe we gladly went. Here's a few pics from the evening.
Sorry for the bad pic...it was rainy and my husband hates pictures...so this is what I get.
The final score Cardinals 4 - Brewers 3 :)
Even the rally squirrel made an appearance!
Week 20
Yes this post should have been done four weeks, but it's better late than never.
Week 20 brought us to another ultrasound...yay! This could be the ultrasound that we find out the gender. Since the day I found out I was pregnant, I did not want to know the sex of the baby, Daddy however was a different story. I thought about Daddy knowing and not telling me, but somehow I knew that just wouldn't work. 1. I would have hounded him almost daily about it and 2. I was afraid of him having it slip out not just to me but to someone else. So, I prayed that Baby Liefer would be stubborn and not show us his/her "stuff". Let me tell you the baby was most definitely stubborn...this child was face down and ass up. When the ultrasound tech asked if we wanted to know the sex, much to my surprise the word "yes" came out of my mouth. So, when the tech went to reveal the baby's gender...I got my wish. Baby Liefer was stubborn and locked their knees together. However, I believe I maybe prayed a little too hard because BL was so stubborn that the tech couldn't even get a picture of his/her face and literally crossed his/her arms over his/her face and gave us a nice big thumbs up!!! So, we get to have another photoshoot opportunity at week 28 and maybe BL will as least show his/her face.

Yep, that's the back of my child's head with a nice thumbs up. Maybe the baby just isn't a morning person.
