24 Weeks

Week 24

How far along? 24 weeks, 1 day

Baby is the size of a: banana split! I saw this comparison today and it made me laugh.

Total weight gain: Not really sure. Enough that I feel like a hippo.

Maternity clothes?  Yep. 

Stretch marks? None yet.

Sleep: Better now that I’m back in a decent bed. Mark’s bed on base was horrible and my back is killing me because of it. I miss Mark, but I don’t miss that bed.

Best moment this week: Spending time with my handsome husband. We had a ton of fun together, but we could have just sat together all weekend and I would have been happy. 

Miss Anything?  I miss not feeling huge.   

Movement: Tons and tons. Mark even got to feel a few kicks!

Food cravings: Margaritas again.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Apparently airplanes. I was classy and had to use the barf bags on my flight. Embarrassing!

Gender:  IT’S A BOY!!! Who knew?! I was definitely shocked, but I’ve gotten used to the idea and I’m very excited. If our son is anything like his dad, I will be one very lucky mom.

Labor Signs: None.

Symptoms: Heartburn, hunger, fatigue.

Belly Button in or out? In, but it’s getting shallow.

Wedding rings on or off? On, except in New Orleans, where I’m fairly certain they were twice their normal size. I was concerned that they might never go back to normal!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy.  

Looking forward to: my baby shower this weekend!
