24 WEEK BUMPDATE
Sunday, 29 May 2016
It feels like the weeks are just flying by but at the same time I feel like I should be further along than I am! I am starting to see what people mean when they say they miss being pregnant, it is such an amazing process and right now I feel like I'm in the perfect spot. I am feeling good energy wise, I'm not overly big where I can still move around haha, and I am just enjoying feeling her movements. It is a special time, and one that I am trying to soak up (until the heat of the summer :/)
How far along? 24 weeks
Total weight gain? I have gained a total of 8 lbs
Maternity clothes? yup, everything I wear is either maternity or a size bigger.
Stretch marks? Yeah, no new ones though.
Sleep? Lately the sleeping hasn't been the best, I have had a lot of charlie horses at night and I feel like I haven't been in a deep sleep in a long time. Despite that though, I seem to have a good amount of energy.
Best moment this week? The other night Kyle had his head on my belly and Everly kicked him in the face haha, it was so funny but so heartwarming all at once. We also got to see her this past Wednesday which is always such a treat. She was smiling for us and moving around, when we brought Kyle into the room and she heard his voice her movements changed and she was cooperating more for the tech to get pictures - she's obsessed with her dad already.
Miss anything? The cooler weather, and I LOVE summer, so it pains me to say that.
Movement? All the time, I love it.
Food cravings? I have been obsessed with cold milk, I remembered the story my cousin Cheryl told me in Ottawa, so I have been putting a glass in the freezer for about 5 minutes and it's the best.
Anything making you feel sick or queasy? Not really, the heat the last few days has really taken a toll on me though. There have been a few times where I have felt light headed :(
Showing? Yeah I'm all baby now.
Gender? GIRL!!!
Labor signs? None.
Symptoms? Light headed mostly but I think the heat is to blame for that.
Belly button in or out? It's still like half and half which creeps me out, I hate belly buttons.
Wedding ring on or off? On, but still taking it off at night and putting moisturizer on my hands
Happy or moody most of the time? This last week was hell and I'm so glad it's over, I was so emotional the entire week.
Looking forward to: My baby shower with Kyle's side of the family and my friends is next weekend! I am so excited to have such valued people in my life celebrate our daughter!
According to my app, baby...
- is the size of a GI Joe (or an Eggplant)
- has reached viability
