24 Weeks...

How far along? 24 weeks

Date picture was taken: Saturday, April 13th, 2013.

Total weight gain/loss: I gained another 6 lbs as of my April 4th appt. I'm up 21 lbs so far...ugh! Thankfully my doctor said I am measuring perfect.

Maternity clothes? Yes, yes, yes!

Stretch marks? Nope but...hopefully this isn't TMI...I do have a number of broken capillaries on my chest. I hear this happens because of the increased blood volume during pregnancy. The doctor says they may or may not go away after delivery...I guess I will just have to wait and see.

Sleep: I'm finding it a little more difficult to get comfortable. I am now getting up at least once every night to go to the bathroom. I'm also finding that I am super tired by 8:30pm-9pm so I've been going to bed early. But then I am continually waking up around 3:30am and finding it hard to fall back asleep. I've also experienced my first "leg cramps" twice now in the middle of the night. Those are no fun! And my calf was literally sore for three days afterwards.

Best moment this week: Seeing my stomach move! It's so amazing! Mr. also felt and saw the movement this week.

Miss Anything? Hmmm...not really missing anything this week.

Movement: Yep!

Food cravings: Still on a dairy kick...milk, shakes, yogurt, cottage chesse.

Anything making you queasy or sick: No

Have you started to show yet: Yes and I'm really starting to feel big! I know I'm definitely looking pregnant because I've had a few people ask me...the lady at our dry cleaners and a few people at work. My co-workers have known for weeks that I'm pregnant but now people in other departments are asking.

Gender: Girl

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Feeling: Really good! I am trying to enjoy this stage as much as possible because I know it will only get more difficult and uncomfortable as I get bigger...

Looking forward to: Next doctors appt and my upcoming showers in Michigan.

Next Appt: May 1st

Baby is the Size of a: Canteloupe
