How Ya Feelin" (Part 4) (By: Jess)

The question I get asked everyday is, "How are you feeling"? So, I decided to do occasional updates on that exact topic.

I am currently 24 weeks along. (6 months)
Size of BabyAn ear of corn
Gender
Little Princess!! I still can't believe it!
Name?
Ceceilia Grace Rolfes.  We were debating between middle names for her, but when we were having our ultrasound, the nurse kept telling us how graceful she was when she moved. So we decided to ditch the other middle names we were considering and go with "Grace".
Movement
She is becoming more active! I am starting to feel her more and more everyday!!
Sleep Report
 I love my body pillow!! My weird dreams are fading off, thank goodness!!! That was annoying!
What I missAlcohol, feeling "pretty", going out on the town with friends, getting dressed up in cute spring clothes, exercising, energy.
Cravings
Vanilla Coke, fruit,
Weird Happenings
My cervix is being difficult. It's short. It's supposed to be around 4 cm, and it's about 1 cm. And it's starting to funnel. (google it) Anyway- I've been going back and forth to the Dr and a specialist for ultrasounds. Everyone keeps telling me to "take it easy", but that's hard to do when I work full time and have a 1 year old to chase after. I'm confused and annoyed at what to do. Anyway- I go back to the specialist on Monday and HOPEFULLY they will have some more answers for me. I just want Cece to be Ok and not come too early. I'm scared of the 7 letter word (bed rest) but if that's what I have to do, then of course I will. It just won't be easy..... but what is??
Advise and/or comments
Good- My friend, Kristina, mentioned a place to me called "The Little Gym". Thank God for her and her wisdom!! This place is AWESOME and I'm totally signing Leo and I up for the summer!!
Bad- 2 things are happening. #1- People are deciding NOT to voice their opinion to me about having another baby  or #2- I'm beginning to block out negative opinions, comments, and advise. Either way- I don't have any bad comments to share and I'm thankful for that!
Best Moment(s)
Hearing the words...."IT'S A GIRL". Cannot express my disbelief, excitement, and total elation!!
Meltdowns
When my husband told me for 652 time that I need to "rest".  My reaction wasn't pretty.
What I am looking forward to
Creating Cece's new bedroom and a baby shower at the end of May!
How many weeks left16 weeks
Getting Prepared
My mom bought Cece's bedding and it arrived a couple weeks ago! I am currently looking at paint colors. I have bought her a couple sleepers and a jumper. It was thrilling.
Current Mental Status
Moods are better, but I have been a little more stressed out. We recently sold our house and put money down on another one....which we close on on May 15th. My cervix crisis has me hot and bothered as well. Again, I'm trying to take it all in stride and give it to God.
