Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 24 weeks, 6 months exactly!
Size of baby: an ear of corn. Or according to ultrasound, almost a foot long and weighing in at 1 1/2 pounds. Ute is the size of a soccer ball. Its officially above my belly button!
Weight change: +20
Maternity Clothes: had to retire my pink Cali jeans today. Yesterday I did the rubberband-on-the-button trick & the band snapped! Lol.
Gender: still a girl, confirmed x3 :)
Movement: More pronounced. I can feel her all the time now! Got my first kick in the bladder today. Ouch. J can feel her when she's doing hardcore karate chops.
Sleep: good, minus a few weird dreams and having to switch sides all the time. My hips get so sore!
Symptoms: heartburn here & there. Overall nothing too horrendous right now.
What I miss: sleeping on my back. Being able to sit longer than an hour without hurting. Last week's road trips & plane rides about killed me.
Cravings: sushi. Mmmmm! I put in a request to go for the fake (read: cooked) stuff this weekend.
Aversions: none.
Innie or outie: innie! Yeah!
Favorite Moment This Week: had to go back for anatomy scan round two since they couldn't clear her face or heart 3 weeks ago. Thank heavens everything checked out GOOD!!
Worst Moment This Week: work is getting harder to do for 8 hours at a time. I've cut down a Bunch but thinking I'm closer to the end.
Looking Forward To: sewing crib sheets this weekend! ! We got the dresser, bookshelf, crib, and ordered the rocking chair this week. Cradle & mattress are ready to go. Now the fun stuff can ensue! :)
Daddy update: Daddy laid eyes on his first cloth diaper.....and was impressed! ! "That's the whole thing? Oh cool!" Mommy, FTW!
