24 weeks

         Eli is moving a lot! I mean a lot, especially on the weekends when I am a little lazy! Travis felt him for the first time this week, granted it was at 5:30 in the morning and he was half asleep, but he felt him! He said it felt like a muscle spasm. Eli has also been doing karate in my stomach, or else it feels that way! Yesterday, my husband and I watched him actually move my stomach! It was crazy! I love being able to feel him. I told my husband that it was a good thing I knew I was pregnant, because if I didn't all the moving around would freak me out!
       I have been struggling with nightmares lately. I'm told that they are from my lovely hormones! I have had terrible nightmares about something happening to me, the baby, or my husband! It's awful! I woke up in tears a couple times. I have also been awake for 2 hours in the middle of the night unable to go back to sleep! I'm hoping these go away soon!
        Monday I called and signed up for breastfeeding and birthing classes! I can not believe in 4 months, I'll have a baby boy! We waited so long to have a baby in our arms and here we are so close! This time is flying right by!
