How far along: 24 weeks!
How big is baby: About the size of an eggplant.
Total weight gain: 17 lbs
Maternity clothes: For weekend mornings I love these maternity leggings and this tunic sweater (not maternity!).
Stretch marks: None, I love using this cream every day to continue to prevent them!
Sleep: Good for the most part, but I do have my nights where I feel uncomfortable and struggle to fall asleep/stay asleep.
Best moment of this week: Sharing our good news on social media and receiving so much positive and loving feedback from friends!
Miss anything: Walking up and down the stairs without sounding like I just ran a marathon.
Movement: Lots of kicking, especially when I eat sweets or dad talks – he must love his voice!
Food cravings: Pizza has always been a go-to of mine for the past 24 weeks! But lately, I have been loving salty snacks!
Anything making you queasy or sick: I still have a few food aversions: eggs, seafood, chicken, cooked broccoli. But nothing that makes me sick anymore! Just the thought of these foods a few weeks ago sent me straight to the bathroom!
Belly button in or out: Starting to change, but not quite out. However, it’s never been a deep innie to begin with!
Wedding rings on or off: Still on! No swollen feet or hands!
Happy or moody most of the time: So very happy!
Looking forward to: Painting the nursery! This weekend we made a trip to Lowes to pick out paint swatches. We also cleaned out the nursery, which had been acting as an office. Desk and bookshelves are now gone — crib, toy chest, and little dresser can now move in!
