Baby Bump @ 24 weeks

We are now 24 weeks and my belly is definitely big. I feel and look like i'm having twins. :) We found out the gender of the baby during our 21 week appointment. IT'S A GIRL! We are so happy and excited that the baby is doing well and growing like she should. We announced the gender to our family and friends over lunch with cupcakes. Here is my belly picture at our announcement lunch, pictures of the cupcakes and the ultrasound.





Here are some belly pictures at 23 weeks that Mrs. Duarte took. I am entering a contest on Facebook for a free newborn photo shoot so I'll let you all know when you can vote. :)

I am now filling her move/kick all day. It makes me smile every time Michael and I see or feel her move. I've started doing some shopping but am trying to be good and not buy everything I see. :)  I'm starting to feel overwhelmed with everything that I need to get done/prepare for her birth but I have my checklist to stay on top of things and stay organized.
Here is my belly at 24 weeks:
