24 Weeks - Happy Easter!


How far along?  24 weeks.  16 more to go!
Total weight gain: No comment!
Maternity clothes? Yes. I even started wearing some of Tom's t-shirts. 
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Starting to get a little uncomfortable. I think I need to invest in a body pillow, I heard they are great.
Best moment this month: The 20 week ultrasound was really neat, Tom and I really enjoyed seeing our little guy/girl. Our baby was being stubborn (shocking) and they weren't able to get all of the facial measurements. I went back for another ultrasound around 21 weeks and brought my mom with. The baby was very active at the 2nd appointment, we got to see it wiggle around and even swallow. 

Traveling to Louisiana for Ian & Megan's wedding was a lot of fun. I enjoyed hanging out with Erin who is also pregnant and due just over a week after me. 
Miss Anything? Putting my shoes on with ease. 
Movement: Yes, lots! The baby is most active after I eat breakfast and when I'm trying to fall asleep. Tom has been able to feel the baby kick for awhile now. We recently discovered that you can actually see my belly moving, so we lay in bed and watch my belly when the baby is active. It's kind of weird looking, but still very cool.
Food cravings: Fruit, pineapple specifically. I'm always hungry, and trying my best to eat healthy and not over indulge.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.
Gender ideas: Tom had another dream - he was running down the hall of the hospital screaming "It's a BOY!" I truly have no idea. However, Tom thinks he saw boy parts at the Ultrasound... but who knows it could have been anything. 

Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Heartburn, charlie horses... and hungry.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Besides feeling huge, I feel good... only 16 more weeks to go, which is very exciting!
Looking forward to: Finishing up the nursery. Tom has been a huge help moving furniture around and painting the new office/guest bedroom so we can work on the nursery.
