Rock hard abs in less than 25weeks!

Well bloggers you too could have a physique like the photos here, results like this are typical within the first 20-25 weeks, this example here is your average white female at 24weeks!


Here is one from just a few weeks ago (may 9th)
I do have a few of my belly button progress but have determined that they are not blog worthy. Meanwhile you can see the bump progress. Baby Wheeler is getting bigger and stronger every day. She is now strong enough that Jon can feel her kick and if you push your hand on my belly she will get irritated (I'm assuming thats what it is anyway) and will push back with a little nudge! In order to perform such masterful feats she continues to cause cravings for Doritos, Chipotle steak burritos and lately chocolate chip cookies....yep she knows whats good. Also helpful is Daddy providing plenty of fluids including some juice to get her moving.
Jon and I have been studying of course as baby due date gets closer and are in our 3rd week of a 5wk baby course. This Tuesday we get to tour the hospital where our girl will arrive, no idea if they allow photos but don't worry, will have camera just in case.

The Latest

Well hello everyone. As you an see the latest with us is our little Memorial day weekend project of crib building! After several trips Jon and I picked a crib and managed to get it back to the house; actually that turned out to be the hardest part. We ended up spending ~1hr putting it together, no missing parts or issues! Even for those of you who would (like we most likely would) lose the instructions and have issues the next time you tried to put it together this crib is fool proof. See below:
The crib comes with all instructions glued to the bottom of the crib (aka the part that holds up the mattress). So unless you lose that whole piece you cannot lose them. It also has all the instructions should you want to convert the crib to full size bed later.

Last but not least I don't have a good recent belly shot on the computer yet but I do have this cute pic of Chuck (my father in law) and myself comparing bellies. Good thing my secret is safe with him about whose belly is larger (wink)well I suppose with him and Susan and Jon....Ok so really no secrets at all these days when it comes to the belly. I knew I needed to update the blog, partly from Jon telling me 'update your blog' but also from questions at work...escalating when it comes to the belly. Example I had a student at our office ask me if my skin hurt to have it stretch so much. Thankfully I was able to say no but it makes you wonder when it looks painful to others! Lucky for her we are work colleagues and I didn't show her the hair, stretch marks etc. that come along with the rest!
More nursery, belly, etc. to come on some other quiet night. These days work stays busy as another coworker of mine is out on maternity leave but after a few weeks she'll return and blog time will increase! Of course that doesn't necessarily mean I'll be faithful but...I'll try. Best to all!
