I know, I know...

...I'm back to being the world's worst blogger. I guess that's not terrible though cause it means that there really hasn't been much to update you on. My belly is growing, slowly but surely. I had Sarah take another pic for all of you who have been dying to see it. I apologize for looking a little rough, Sarah and I have just gotten back from Williamsburg but I wanted to get this online for everyone. So, as you can see, at 24 weeks, she's starting to pop out a little more, but instead of getting a round basketball belly it seems like I'm just getting thicker. Even though it barely looks like it she is most definitely there! She is moving around all the time, and even though Brett has yet to feel it, he did just see her move the other day which was very exciting! She is being very, very stubborn, every time Brett puts his hand on my belly to try and feel her she stops moving...EVERY time.

Other than that things have been pretty normal. Like I mentioned earlier, we were down in Williamsburg for Thanksgiving. Brett was able to make it Wednesday night but had to leave early Friday morning to get back for work. My Aunt Chris and Uncle Mike were down from New York and my cousin Scott drove up from Norfolk. Here's a picture of me with my sister, my parents and my aunt and uncle. Unfortunately we took it Brett and Scott had already left.

The ladies of the house also braved the Black Friday shopping crowd at the outlets in Williamsburg. We went really nuts this year and went when they opened at midnight so we could get the extra deals. The one that made out the best was Little Ms. Marley. She's got a fantastic wardrobe already! Thanks GrandNan and Great Aunt Chris (or would it be Grand Aunt? I'm not really sure...)

I was also really busy cleaning the nursery so that it could be painted. The painting was finished almost two weeks ago. Here are some updated pics. You'll see that we still need to move the exercise equipment and get a new desk for the corner but then we'll be set.


You can also see the baby's curtains...they match her bedset that Daddy picked out even before we knew she was a girl.
Her furniture is going to be delivered on the 8th. I'm very, very excited about that. I think I'm going to feel a lot more ready when her crib is set up. So check back for that picture after next week.

Other than that I also have an upcoming doctor's appointment on the 8th and another on the 10th. I'll post more after those appointments. We hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the update! I can't believe you are over halfway! It is crazy. I hope that Brett gets to feel her move soon. That is such an awesome feeling! What color is her room? I want to see close ups of the bedding.
