weekly baby updates need better post titles...


How Far Along: 24 weeks, 1 day

Size of baby: 9 inches and 1.7 pounds!   About as big as an eggplant...yum!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 25 pounds.  I'm officially past my Ace pre-pregnancy weight.

Maternity Clothes: I'm taking a dear friend's advice in hopes of surviving this pregnancy feeling more "normal" than the last and am buying stretchy tank tops, leggings, and wearing gauchos, dresses, and skirts.  It's working out splendidly and I am super comfortable.  Minus the 100 degree weather.

Gender: Booooyyy!  Excited to meet AP!

Movement: Love it...that is something that never gets old and i always miss when i'm not pregnant.  Loving seeing him flip and flop...enjoy it while you can, sweet boy, it's gonna get cramped in there awfully quick!

Food Cravings: I don't subscribe to the "pregnancy cravings" notion...I mean, we all crave something at some point or another in a given day, right? Pregnant women may just be a bit more demanding assertive when it comes to cravings.  However, sour things have ALWAYS been my fave and are great when I'm nauseous!
 I am also loving salads and fruit and frozen yogurt...but that's mostly me and a Georgia summer thing!

What I miss: something usually comes to mind at some point during the week but i always forget...so it's obviously not a big deal!

Sleep: sleeping as well as i can, i guess.  dreams may or may not be as weird as they were in the beginning...maybe i'm just remembering less and getting used to the levels of craziness?!

Symptoms: Crazy dreams, mild-moderate nausea, fatigue, random bloody nose, round ligament pain (SO much worse and sooner this time around - OUCH!), and forgetfulness...don't count on me to remember to do something these days!

Best moment this week:  Being completely pregnancy-pain-free in the pool...i love it!

What I am looking forward to: girls night tonight!  mani/pedis and dinner!  woohoo!
