24 Week Bumpdate

Hello Everyone!! It is a little later than normal posting but nonetheless I have reached my goal of posting by Sunday. Here is my 24 WEEK BUMPDATE:

• How far along? 24 weeks 2 days 

• Baby is the size of a... Canteloupe... In which I have eaten a lot

• Total weight gain: Headed to the doctor on Tuesday.. I'm interested to know as I feel like I've done A LOT of growing since the last doctor's appointment. 

• Maternity clothes? nothing new but it is about time to go get some comfy tops 

• Stretch marks? none on the belly... :)

• Sleep: ugh.. I'm missing it. I slept better without the prego pillow this weekend and been feeling more comfy on my back although it isn't recommended. The team traveled to Indiana this weekend so I spent 9 hours on a bus on Thursday and 9 back today. It was ROUGH and we were in a super nice sleeper bus that has beds for about 25 people. My back pain never allows me to get comfortable. 

• Best moment this week:  more and more movement. We have officially decided on a name but haven't told anyone yet. :)

• Miss anything? PATIENCE!!!!!!! being comfortable. :/ 

• Movement: yes, tons and he is getting stronger everyday. 

• Food cravings:  I eat a lot of cheeseburgers. UGH it makes me sick but I don't ever want anything else when we go out to eat as a team. I also eat a lot of canteloupe. YUM! oh and sweets.. maybe that's the reason for feeling HUGE all of sudden. 

• Food aversions: none really. 

• Gender: BOY!!!! BOY!!!! BOY!!!!!

• Labor signs: nope

• Symptoms: yea, you know that back pain I've mentioned.... it sucks

• Belly Button in or out? looking shallow!! 

• Wedding rings on or off? On however not for much longer... :(

• Baby Purchases this week? We bought theses letters (shown below) that look masculine for baby's nursery. I love them!! They have a metal looking finish and will be perfect for baby's room. Bet you can't guess the letter! :) I also went ahead and purchased the bedding but since it is custom bedding they had to send fabric swatches for approval.

 

• Looking forward to:  Doctor's appointment on Tuesday and approaching the third trimester!! WOOHOO!!
