24 weeks

December 16, 2011

Size of baby: eggplant or an ear of corn (1.7 pounds and 12 inches long!)

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  +4 pounds

Maternity Clothes: all maternity for the most part- all my shirts are too short that aren’t maternity. Hoping I can find some after Christmas sales on some tops. I am good on pants now but need some more shirts. I have just been wearing shirts too small and putting a sweat shirt on top to cover it up. : )

Gender: A baby is God’s opinion that life should go on…especially little boys.

Movement: all the time. He moves a lot when I first wake up and when I go to sleep at night. He does good at moving on command too. : ) Someone will put his hand on my tummy and he wont move and I’ll say I guess he isn’t gonna move and then boom! Squirmmy mcsquirmers!

Sleep:  UGH! I can’t get comfortable. I sleep for a few hours then wide awake and can’t go back to sleep. I just can not get comfortable.

What I miss: sleeping comfortably & being able to stay asleep

Cravings: crushed ice & snickers ice-cream

Symptoms: back hurts bad & still moody. Don’t let me get hungry or the beast will come out! Also, I am so uncomfortable. I know everyone keeps telling me oh your not even that big just wait. Well I am already uncomfortable. I know I am not that big but for me this is big. And for me, I’m uncomfortable. I hate getting out of bed to pee in the middle of the night still as well. I can't BELIEVE I am almost 7 months pregannt! EEK! He will be here before we know it!

Big News this week: We painted the nursery & put together his furniture. (12/22)
