6 Months Preggo!

SIX months pregnant!!! Can you believe it?! (The above belly pics were taken in my 24th week)I can hardly believe how fast this pregnancy is going! Baby Jax is a healthy growing boy, kicking and punching his mama mostly in the evenings after his big bro goes to bed. He can be a night owl! Hopefully this is not a sign of what is to come with his night sleeping! I've been holding my breath out of fear of jinxing things but this pregnancy has been incredibly easy for me so far, compared to my 1st. I am much more active, going on daily walks and running around with Taj. I also get to eat whatever I want (although I am making more effort to eat super healthy as I approach this last trimester) and no heartburn or acid reflux! No unusual cravings for that matter either, just the usual sweets, salt & vinegar chips, french fries, and of course Thai food! I gotta say, if it wasn't for my big beautiful growing belly and obviously the weight gain, I don't even feel pregnant!! (I feel the weight and discomfort the most when I have to put Taji's shoes on or during potty and bath times when I am on the floor, kneeling, sitting, and then have to stand up, Oye!) I'm knocking on wood that I continue to feel this energized, active, and without digestion issues.... but I'm sure once the 29th week hits it will be inevitable that this growing boy will become more squished inside and will automatically put pressure on my bladder and organs. The only thing I can think of that is driving me crazy this pregnancy is my heightened sense of smell! I'm already sensitive to cigarette smoke as it is, but now all of sudden having a new neighbor down the street who likes to smoke on his front deck, and living above a smoker (who fortunately is not smoking outside anymore) is driving me insane! Its a bummer we have to keep our windows open for ventilation (I wish we had air conditioning, especially during this week's horrid heat!). A couple times a day Brad and I take turns running around the house to close windows the second the breeze blows in the smoke from the neighbor's. I hope as Fall approaches, and it cools down, and our windows will be closed more regularly, the smoke smell suffering will cease. Fingers crossed!
