24 weeks pregnant - Nola is swimming

 
I am just about 24 weeks (6 months) pregnant, and we have quite awhile to go.  My tummy is definitely getting bigger, and our little "fish" named Nola is definitely swimming in Mama's tummy. I can feel her more prominently at night now - it is not just a wave or bubbles, like how it was before. When she moves, it feels more like a nudge - like someone is touching my insides. It is very weird, and freaky, and amazing at the same time. 
I have bought many maternity pants (thank god for Target!) and have been using all the maternity clothes that I received as gifts this Christmas. My feet are a bit swollen. I feel huge and sometimes look huge in pictures, but my nurse said I really did not gain that much weight - about 15 pounds, which is not bad.  
Aside from needing more sleep than usual, I feel pretty much the same. I am not craving anything or hungry for anything. I just eat more frequently, and I am just more tired than I would usually am....other than that, so far so good. 
See you in 3 1/2 months, little fish.
