22 Weeks - Over Half Way There

So today I am 22 weeks along and I cannot believe it. The fact that my pregnancy is over half way over is just amazing and a little sad. I'm really enjoying being pregnant with all of the new things happening to my body and all of the new feelings. But I absolutely cannot wait to meet our little guy! I just can't stop wondering what he'll look like and what he'll be like.

Over the past week or so I've really been feeling him move. This is wonderful! I've been waiting for this and now I'm positive that it's him. He moves around a ton and has been kicking me hard enough for Chris to be able to feel too. He moves a ton in the morning right after I eat breakfast. I think it's the glass of orange juice that makes him move so much. It's just the coolest feeling!!

Chris and I accomplished several things this weekend that make me feel better about preparing for Raisin. We ordered his crib yesterday and the stroller that my mom and dad are getting for us which also happens to include the car seat. Also, we've started picking out other items that we'll need and I'm feeling good about it. We still need to do a little bit to his room, but everything feels like it's coming along.

Okay, since this blog is about all things Troyer, I want to update you on Chris a little. He's training for the Kentucky Derby Mini Marathon in April and his training is going well. He was sidelined for a little bit with some back problems, but he's back to running. Today he ran a little more than 8 miles and he said he's feeling good. Well, tonight he's a little bit sore, but overall he's doing great! I know he'll be ready to go on April 25. And I can't wait to ring the cowbell and cheer from the sideline this year!! He's also been flying a lot! He was supposed to go cross country this weekend, but it was canceled due to weather. Instead they're going to Florida tomorrow morning and back home on Tuesday. Not the same, but they'll have a good time. And then next weekend he's going cross country again, but this time just to Fort Worth. And this works out well, because I'm heading to Atlanta next weekend for a girls weekend! Chris also just finished his first Master's class in Aeronautics. He's getting ready to start his next class in 2 weeks.

Anyway, things with us are great. I'll try to post more often. I promise I'll post more often after Raisin's born.
