24 weeks and his name...

Today, I am 24 weeks pregnant with the little fella. I cannot believe how much faster pregnancy goes by the second time around! He is growing by leaps and bounds (evident by my growing belly) and is moving around all the time. He is weighing about 1 and a 1/2 pounds and is roughly 11 inches long, crown to rump. I haven't been to the doctor since November 2nd, but go next week for my glucose test and a check.

The nursery furniture is set to be delivered this weekend and I am so excited! I have picked up a few boy items here and there and am definitely getting into the spirit of buying blue :). In other fun news, the little guy has a name...
My maiden name is Baker and I am so thrilled to use that for our little boy! His middle name will be Michael (which is my husband's first name as well as his dad's middle name).
