Pregnancy: Week 24 (6 months)

HOW FAR ALONG? 24 weeks…. only 16 ish weeks left.

SIZE OF OUR SWEET BABY? The size of an ear of corn (about 1 foot, and about 1.5 lbs).

MATERNITY CLOTHES?  Yep. The items that I once thought were “loose” are beginning to hug this pregnant body. I also bought a maternity bathing suit (not the most pleasant experience) so I’d feel more comfortable swimming in public – hah.

GENDER: BOY

SLEEP?  The wedge pillow has been very nice. I still (slowly) toss and turn, combined with night sweats (lovely, I know).

FOOD CRAVINGS? Vietnamese food, iced coffee, and sweets. I made a peach cobbler this weekend. Mmmmm….

WHAT I MISS? Being able to lay flat on my back. I “tried” to lay on my back in the grass with George this weekend and that was very short lived.  Oh, and also being able to wear 95% of the shoes I own. For now it’s all flip flops b/c I’m so swollen.

SYMPTOMS? Achey and swollen feet.

BELLY BUTTON? Almost non-existent. SO weird.

BEST MOMENT(S) OF THE PAST WEEK?   Enjoying some quiet moments with just Brian and me. I know these are going to be few and far between in a couple months so,  I’m trying to stop and enjoy them as much as possible.  We went to an afternoon movie this weekend, shopped for Brady’s nursery furniture, and had a few team-effort sit down meals together. I cherish these moments.
