How Many Weeks? 24 weeks
Size of Baby? Baby is growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts them at about 1 1/3 pounds. Since it's almost a foot long (about the length of an ear of corn), they cut a pretty lean figure at this point, but it's body is filling out proportionally and soon start to plump up.
Showing? More and more every day! I feel like each week I double in size.
Symptoms? Round ligament pain when I get up too quickly or sneeze and that dreaded car sickness basically every time I get in the car. Driving or not.
Sleep? Really really great! Not even frequent bathroom trips :) The colder nights and big fluffy comforters are helping. Oh! And my new "boyfriend" pillow showed up late last week!! As if my bed could get any more comfortable... I ordered a full "U" size one, since I finally got rid of the one I used with Kendall and Charlie, and it's a little piece of heaven. Mike and the kids even tested it out and were fans!
Miss Anything? Missing some of my old jeans. I only really have 2 pairs of pants that I feel comfortable in (I don't really like the full belly panel ones and I'm protesting buying more) and one is bright red, so getting dressed is challenging.
Movement? Pretty much all the time! Both kids and Mike have felt baby fist pumping away. I can't wait for the parents to feel their baby!! Hopefully at the next appointment or visit.
Food Cravings? Nothing enough to call a craving. Coming up with dinner ideas is getting easier but I'm still pretty "meh" about picking what to eat on my own.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Just the car.
Gender Prediction? Nope
Recent Doctors Appointment? We had a routine check-up right after my last post. Nothing eventful going on, especially now that all the ultrasounds and "fun stuff" is over. Our next appointment will be longer just because it'll be time for everyone's favorite... the glucosamine test.
Best IP moment? I think it's super awesome that my IP's took a baby moon!! Well, I don't think that is what they are officially calling it but it just worked out that way. Not that you can't travel with little ones but I still think it's nice to get a "final" trip in as a twosome if you can :)
Most asked question? Nothing that I can really think of the past few weeks. I still have yet to be asked if I'm pregnant at work so I'm sure I'll get a million questions after it "comes out" that the baby isn't mine.
Nesting? So many sewing projects!! And party hosting. Not that those are nesting related but I think the "need" to do something keeps me going. I've started making stuffed toys, which are really fun but more time consuming. I co-hosted sister Katie's baby shower, then we hosted our yearly 40 person Friendsgiving and this past weekend I co-hosting Sarah's shower at Jen's house on Saturday and hosted at friend Katie's co-ed 40ish person shower Sunday. Good thing I celebrated by birthday with the girls last week!
