24 Weeks

24 Weeks!

How far along? 24 Weeks.

Baby size in fruit/vegetable: Ear of corn.

Total weight gain/loss: Still hanging out at 19 pounds gained.

Maternity clothes: Nothing new. My body is ready for more maternity shirts, me...not so much. Love this maternity shirt in the picture though, it's so much more comfortable wearing clothes that aren't tight.

Stretch marks? It happened, THEY happened. I have 3 or 4 on my butt. They're real this time and they're terrible! I guess I couldn't live in my dream world of no stretch marks forever. They'll make a home out of my stomach soon enough. I'm not giving up on my basq products though! 

Sleep: Sleeping better this week. My body pillow is a life saver. 

Best moment this week: Having coffee! I caved. I got my very favorite, a tall Iced Caramel Macchiato (the first time I've had it since I've known about baby), and LOVED every second of the 3 minutes it lasted. I'm not going to make it a habit, but it was completely worth it!

Miss anything: Being able to bend over, get up, move, etc. without it being a hassle! I swear it is too soon for me to already be struggling! Gosh, I feel like I'm 80. 

Movement: He is so strong now. I feel like I need to hold my stomach when he moves to keep him from busting out. I love feeling him move though. That is the one good thing about pregnancy. Well, besides the fact that you get a precious baby out of it :)

Food cravings: Grapefruit, honeydew, strawberries, fruit in general, slurpees, coconut water, and potato chips. Come on cravings, where are you?! 

Anything making you queasy or sick? I'm not having aversions to anything, but the fruit makes my acid reflux act up.

Bump: Everyone's reaction this week: "Oh my gosh! Look how big your belly is/looks!".

Discomforts: Awful hip pain at night, restless feet, cramping legs, back aches, and just overall discomfort at night. I feel like my belly is going to explode because there is so much pressure! It also feels like my skin can't stretch anymore, I feel like it's going to rip open! Also getting random, shocking uterus pains.

Labor signs: No

Belly button in or out? Half in, half out. More on the out side though.

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy in the day, moody at night.

Looking forward to: Doctors appointment next week!
