24 Weeks


August 16, 2012 - 24 Weeks

I had fun with my little survey last time so I decided to do a monthly pregnancy update - here it is!

How far along?  24 weeks
Total weight gain/loss:  13 pounds gained
Maternity clothes?  Yep, though I’m still wearing regular pants with a belly band mostly because I don’t like the giant stretches of fabric maternity pants have over your stomach. Why does everyone think pregnant women want 5 layers of fabric over their middle?
Stretch marks?  Nope (fingers crossed)
Sleep:  Still going well.
Best moment this week: People are starting to recognize that I’m pregnant not chubby. I’ve now had two strangers ask me when my due date is.
Movement: Yep - last week I finally felt the baby move and he’s been all over the place ever since. Even Jed has felt him kick.
Food cravings: I’ve been loving frozen yogurt, but really the biggest thing is that I’m just constantly hungry. Jed and I went out to dinner last night and I actually finished my entire meal which doesn’t sound crazy but I usually always come home with leftovers and my meal was pretty big.
Gender: Still a boy.
Labor Signs: Thank goodness no
Belly Button in or out? Still in, though it is getting pretty flat.
Wedding rings on or off? On
What I miss: Having more than a handful of clothes to choose from every day.
What I am looking forward to: Cookie dough – I made some break and bake cookies this week and not being able to eat a cookie worth of dough was torture.
Milestones: We hit viability this week so baby no name (as we affectionately call him) could now technically survive outside of the womb though obviously he should hang out where he is for a lot longer.
