24 weeks pregnant

Well, really 2 days until I'm 24 weeks, but it's easier to round up.  I've gained 16 lbs, and I am feeling tired, especially during the mid-day hours.  Baby is kicking frequently, and I can feel that she is getting stronger.  Sometimes I can even see my belly is a little lop-sided, as if she is hanging out on one side.  It's pretty weird.

This past week was Spring Break, and I used the free time to clean out the room that will be her nursery.  That included moving a few pieces of heavy furniture including the queen bed and large desk.  Also, Mark has kept a bunch of heavy textbooks that I moved all the way down the basement.  I probably had to make 15 trips up and down the stairs to move everything out.  I took my time, rested when I got tired, but I finally got it all cleaned out and vacuumed, and I feel so much better about the space now.

Yesterday I bought a can of "ballet pink" spray paint, and I painted my old shelf that used to be in my room when I was little, and also a mirror that we've had in storage for years.  I'm happy with the way they turned out, although the mirror could probably use one more coat of paint.
