I feel very matronly in this outfit ha and I feel like I look older. And of course a little chubbier...but, I am not complaining. I am thankful for this baby growing inside of me and I can always lose the weight afterwards! I seriously will have to join some sort of Baby Boot Camp to motivate myself. I am feeling great and actually enjoy seeing how my belly grows from week to week. It is funny that I thought I was so large at 16 weeks and then I see the pic and realize I wasn't. I am sure I will say the same thing about this picture when I am full term :-P
How far along: 24 weeks!!
Size of baby: The size of an ear of corn according to my What to Expect app and apparently Nolan weighs a pound and a half! Crazy!
Maternity clothes: All maternity clothes for sure!
Stretch marks: No stretch marks on my belly...but, I may have a few in other places :-/
Sleep: This week I have woken up a ton to use the restroom. But thankfully I fall back to sleep quickly.
Best moment this week: I guess the fact that Nolan is "viable" now. Of course I do not want him coming any time soon, but it is comforting to know that if he does he has a much greater chance of surviving.
Movement: He has been moving a TON! It is so much fun and so crazy all at the same time. Since I have an anterior placenta the kicks aren't as strong, but definitely can feel them.
Food cravings/aversions: I crave a lot of fruit and cheese. I could eat string cheese multiple times a day but I try to keep it to one :)
Gender: IT'S A BOY!!!!! Nolan Blaine!
Labor signs: No Braxton Hicks or anything yet.
Belly button - in or out? Still in, but it is getting more stretched out for sure...especially at the end of the day.
What I miss: Not missing much, this is all so exciting to miss anything!
What I am looking forward to: Well I have my 24 week appointment tomorrow and I get to take the glucose test..not excited about that, but looking forward to hearing Nolan's heartbeat and being reassured all is well with our little man :)
Love this! You look great!
