What a difference a month makes! That's about how long it's been since the last time I posted a belly shot, and Lily has done some serious growing since then!! As of now (24 weeks), she's about a foot long and weighs over a pound. She has been making her presence well known for the last couple of weeks, and I spent most of Saturday afternoon watching my stomach bounce around from all the little kicks and jabs this peanut was giving! Mark has been able to feel (and watch) her kick now too, which has been a lot of fun. Lily can hear us now as well, so if you're on the phone with me and want to say hi, just ask me to put the phone to my belly :)
Mark and I painted the nursery on Sunday afternoon (a color called "South Sea Pearl" - looks a little like sand), and it came out great! We'll be decorating it over the next couple of weeks and will post some pictures when there's more to see.
Starting next weekend (with Hillary and Quinn's wedding!!!) we have a busy couple of months coming up! We have all kinds of trips planned, both for work and pleasure, and we'll also have several visitors between now and the end of May. We're looking forward to all of the activity, and I'm hoping it makes the time go by a little faster too :) The Azalea Festival is coming up here in Wilmington, which is a really fun time full of activities and it's also incredibly beautiful with all of the flowers in bloom all over the place! I'll be sure to post pictures from all the action and Diana's visit that weekend.
We have a few congratulations to send out. First, a very belated congratulations to my cousin Emily, who won her first World Cup competition in Moscow a couple of weeks ago!!! This is an incredible accomplishment, and we are SO PROUD of her. Her website is listed over to the right - I promise if you take a look, you'll become an instant fan! Also, congrats to Diana (Mark's mom), who adopted a new dog this weekend! We're looking forward to meeting Bo soon!
Anyway, sorry for the long post! Hope all is well and you're enjoying the luck of the Irish today!!

I swear it looks bigger on the camera than it does in the mirror!
