24 Weeks: The Size of a Grapefruit


Here I am at 24 weeks....looking more like 34 weeks....I know! Ugh. I am still waiting for the doctors to tell me there are 2 in there, but no luck so far. I am in a GOOD stage of pregnancy right now. Here are some updates:

SLEEP: I'm sleeping good for the most part....sore hips and back occasionally, but still sleeping! Turning from side to side at night is the weirdest feeling.... her re-adjusting in there. Oh, and I started to get Charley Horses at night if I stretch my legs too much. OUCH!!!!! I guess I need more water. Surprise.

WHAT MADE YOU CRY: Nothing. Still nothing.

MEDICAL STUFF: We had another appointment this week, and of course...baby girl was wiggly again. She is moving around a lot, and it's pretty much the best thing in the whole world.  I am basically a freak about going into preterm labor. Please tell me I'm not the only one. Is there anything scarier?? I need some words of encouragement. Could people STOP with the horror stories? I DO NOT GET IT!!!!

CRAVINGS:  Food is my favorite right now. I can pretty much eat anything and everything. Everything sounds good to me ALL THE TIME. AH!!!! ice cream....pizza.....pasta.... Mexican food. Mmm. No wonder, huh?

THINGS I LOOK FORWARD TO: The nursery!!! I want it to be done. AND clothes. Trying on stuff has got to be the most depressing thing EVVVVER so I usually just wear the same 5 outfits so I don't have to try on anything. And I thought I would just gain weight in my belly. HAHAHAHAHA. Oh, and of course I look forward meeting baby girl the most.

SYMPTOMS: My tummy is getting BIGGER and BIGGER. In the last 2 weeks, I started getting those sharp pains in the lower abs again. Doc says it's just my uterus stretching and they should stop soon. I still go to the bathroom A LOT! Oh, and my hair is so.so.so. dry. I swear I could go a month without washing it (who knows... maybe I do)

Like I said before, you teeny tinys have nowhere for that baby to go. Of course your little belly has to pop out! Unlike me who didn't even know I was pregnant until 18 weeks. But, you look sooo dang cute!!
