24 Weeks

This post is a little late considering I just started my 26th week.  Oh well, better late than never.  My baby bump definitely went through a little growth spurt since my last post.  

Size of Baby and Mama: Baby is supposed to be the size of an ear of corn!?  These food references are so weird!!  The baby should be around 1.5 pounds and about a foot long!!  I have gained about 15 lbs.  I did have a Dr appointment this week.  For some unknown reason my belly was measuring 30 weeks!!  The Dr didn't seemed concerned at all and thinks the baby just had a growth spurt.  I just hope everything is measuring a little more normal at my next appointment in 2 weeks.  We will see!  I will definitely give an update on that on my 28 week post.  Otherwise, everything else at the appointment looked great!

Gender/Names: I did go out and buy a girl outfit the other day.  The last week or so I was starting to get a girl vibe, but now that I am measuring big I am thinking boy again.  Some boy names we are liking lately are Lincoln, Elijah, Ethan, Evan, and Roman.  Remember, all of that can change!!  Girl names are so much harder for me and I have no idea why.  Maybe it is because I am destined to have all boys!  :)

Movement: I am still feeling a lot of movement.  Last weekend we had a little family movie night and the baby was moving like crazy.  I asked Andrew if he wanted to feel and he surprisingly said yes.  As soon as he rested his hand on my belly the baby kicked so hard you could have seen it from across the room.  Andrew thought it was cool!!  Of course, it made me teary eyed.  I thought it was the sweetest thing.  It is cool that Andrew is so excited for this baby!

Sleep: Sleep is good right now!  I just need to stop falling asleep on the couch at night!!  It is no fun going up to bed in the middle of the night.

What I miss: Clothes fitting

Cravings: Pistachios, peanuts, chocolate chip cookies.  Weird!!
