24 Weeks

How far along? 24 Weeks

Total weight gain: 13.1 lbs. Yes, that would be 2 whole pounds up from last week. Yikes.

Maternity clothes? How I love them!

Since we're on the topic of clothing, I splurged a few weeks ago and ordered the most adorable t-shirt from here (it went on sale, I just had to). I stumbled across this shop through someone on Instagram and I just love their shirts! The one I ordered is not maternity but is extra long and so fits very well over my bump - can't wait to wear it. They have matching baby & kid versions of this shirt with "baby bear" or "mama's little cub" - just too cute to handle!!

Stretch marks? Nothing yet. I have definitely had a few moments of paranoia in the mornings where I can swear that I see one or two, but I think I'm just overanalyzing my skin.

Sleep: Okay for the most part. I've been having trouble sleeping past about 630am, which doesn't sound like too bad of a problem since it's typically good to get your body on a schedule, but I still wake up then even if we go to sleep late or if I'm up in the middle of the night. It's hard when you can't sleep in even when you have time to do so!

Best moment this week: Getting to co-host a "sip and see" for a sweet friend! It was adorable! We went with a mint & gold "Welcome to the World" theme and it turned out just darling. Here's a sneak peek:

Worst Moment this week: Got nothing!

Miss Anything? Nothing comes to mind this week.

Movement: Lots of little kicks! They're starting to be higher up too.

Cravings: This week probably fresh fruit and salads. I think it's because the weather is getting warmer but anything crisp and fresh sounds great!

Symptoms: My silly foot and ankle swelling is still going on. It's still slightly worse on my right foot and just looks sad. Oh and my belly button had clearly popped out - that's a symptom, right? Nothing I can do about it except sigh a little when I see how much it is sticking out in pictures! Thankfully I've read it should go back to normal post-baby.

Mood: Overall good & happy (despite the fact that my foot is swelling)!

Looking forward to: A sono appointment on Friday. Can't wait to see the jellybean and also can't wait to see if my placenta has moved a little more. Fingers crossed! Oh and Monday is a holiday, woohoo!

Jellybean is as big as a cantaloupe this week!

Somewhere between 10.5-11.8 inches long & 12.7-20.8 ounces.
