I think my sling may come in today (or tomorrow, but I hope today since I ordered it over 10 days ago) and I cannot wait to get it out and try it on/force Abel to ride around in it. I don't think Abelard suspects anything yet. Poor boy, always forced to do things he doesn't want to do (mostly receive love).

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Of course, Lupe isn't much bigger than Abel, so if Abel refuses to cooperate I may use her. She just acts like half my interactions with her are me punishing her or me looking at her means she's in trouble (because she's gotten in trouble a lot because she misbehaves a lot and I don't let her get away with it).

I'm thinking I may finally order some tummy sleeves. I've been doing the rubber band trick but I'm sick of it. Depending on the day and time sometimes I can button my jeans fully and zip them but other days I just want to leave them fully unbuttoned (in all fairness, a lot of it has to do with what I'm sitting on/doing). Either way, I've been wanting to get some but I'm nervous because I can't buy them in stores locally as far as I can tell. I was hoping to find ones with more support for my back but as of now I think I'm just going to go with the Motherhood Maternity ones since I think I can at least return those in-store. Since I've barely gained any weight yet and I'm 24 weeks I don't have back issues yet (well, my back aches from standing up more, but since I don't have to work right now it's not a huge problem). I guess if I like the ones I get I may try to invest in one that's more back-support than just helping keep my jeans up while not fully zipping or buttoning them. 

We are 24 weeks as of Sunday! Yay! Patrick is my baby belly photographer and it's hit or miss, so here's my not so great photo (of course, I was also not wearing makeup, so it's partially my fault).

24 weeks pregnant!

I really never feel like I look any different than pre-pregnancy (because I'm still in my pre-pregnancy clothes and all I do is measure my waist, which fluctuates about 2-3 inches from when I started) but then in photos I start to realize my face is thinner, my stomach is shaped differently. I'm really interested to see what my body looks like post-baby.
