24 Weeks



Happy December!
How far along? 24 weeks, 2 days
Total weight gain/loss: +9lbs at my 20 week appointment, I'll get an update at next week's appointment. I've been indulging in quite a few sweets lately so we'll see. ;)
Maternity clothes? Pretty much all maternity now, regular shirts are too short.
Stretch marks? No!
Sleep: What can I say? I love sleeping. I fall asleep after school and in the evenings on the couch most days. Nighttime sleep has been pretty good, though I tend to get uncomfortable and move around a lot (sorry Brandon...).
Best moment this week: Not in this last week, but Black Friday was fun! We got a lot of our Christmas shopping done and I even got a good deal on our bottles! (I may have gone overboard, lol)
I've noticed a lot of my friends do not receive any bottles as gifts and the lady at the store said a lot of people don't like to buy them as gifts because they're "boring" so I was happy to get them for a really great deal!
Also, we went on our tour of the Family Birthing Center last week. I was definitely not as far along in my pregnancy as others, but that's when they scheduled me. It was a bit unnerving to be there but I'm SO glad we went. Just being able to visualize where we'll be when the time comes is comforting.
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss anything yet? Sleeping comfortably :)
Movement: I feel kicks all the time now and it's so fun! Sometimes it even tickles :). Brandon has been able to feel a few kicks and he thinks it's so cool. He loves it since he can't really "connect" with baby like I get to so feeling kicks is a way for him to interact with baby. He's also read baby a couple bedtime stories. Love it!
Food cravings: Anything sweet...no wonder baby is kicking a lot. Haha!
Anything making you queasy or sick? I don't think so...
Have you started to show yet: Yes, even strangers will say things now :)
Gender prediction: The last couple of weeks I've started thinking boy...I just don't know! We have another ultrasound next week but are holding tight to the idea of a surprise baby! We don't want to know!
Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out? In but quite shallow ;)
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Last week I was admittedly very moody; it was a rough work week. So far this week I am quite happy again though. :)
Looking forward to: Our ultrasound next week and Christmas vacation!!!
I can't believe we'll have a little one next year to share in all of the Christmas joy with us! I can't wait!
