How far along? 24 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I underestimate myself and my capacity to gain ALL the weight. 15 lbs so far. Ga-gunk.
Maternity Clothes: Still mixing things, but more and more maternity items are sneaking their way into my...now limited...wardrobe.
Sleep: I tossed and turned a lot this week. Not sure if it's the weird dreams, school anxiety, or basic pregnancy-related uncomfortableness.
Best Moments this Week: Hearing baby's heartbeat at the doctor's office. Cuddling with Madeline on the couch after school.
Movement: She's a little quieter this week than last, but girl can still pack a punch if she wants to.
Food Cravings: More cake...and chocolate.
Food Aversions: I was little blah about shrimp this week even though I usually like it.
Gender: A GIRL!
Labor Signs: No, sir.
Pregnancy Symptoms: So...so...tired. I get winded at work easily cause, as I teacher, I talk a lot.
Belly Button In or Out? Flat...but starting to pop a bit.
What I Miss: Having energy to spend on my family after work. Last time I was pregnant I could nap, but that doesn't happen often with an active Maddie Bear who needs me.
What I am Looking Forward to: I'm enjoying being pregnant, but at the same time, I really want to fast-forward to December to meet my baby. I think this feeling might have something to do with being back at work...
Upcoming Appointments/ Events: Glucose screening something this week. Yum. Also, 24 weeks is when I lost baby Ellis, so it's a big milestone week for me. 24 weeks? Check.
Current Food Comparison? An ear of corn.
Meanwhile, I'm the size of...
God bless maxi dresses. For a comparison of how things were cooking at 24 weeks with Madeline, click here.
