Per usual, I'm a bit behind with this post, but here are my 24 week belly pics and update....
How Far Along: 24 weeks on 1/4/13
Size of baby: Almost a foot long, length of an ear of corn, which puts him at just over a pound.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 5 lbs at my 24 week appointment on 1/8.
Maternity Clothes: Yes, for church otherwise living in comfy-I-am-a-stay-at-home-mom clothes! It's a dream! (and in case you were wondering...the maternity suits are adore and fit perfectly! Love Old Navy!)
Gender: BOY! BOY! BOY! BOY! BOY! BOY! Finally I can say it!
Movement: Yes! I just love it! I felt the baby for the first time at 16.5 weeks and Tom felt the baby at 17 weeks. It never ceases to amaze me!
Sleep: Still fabulous. I was just talking to Tom about this this weekend..."Do you remember when it gets hard?" Ha. For a moment I thought maybe we'd be able to skip the poor sleeping altogether, but then he had to remind me that he doesn't think it started for a few more weeks with Gwendolyn. It was never that bad...just up to go to the bathroom or whatever.
What I miss: Being able to take Advil for back pain and headaches. Tylenol is so weak.
Cravings: Nothing to report right now. Still keeping it pretty plain and simple.
Symptoms: Oh, there's symptoms alright. Being pregnant is not for the birds!
Best moment this past week: There are so many sweet moments that seems to happen every day, but telling the last of family that we were expecting a BOY and getting so many sweet texts and emails and message after people received our New Years card was really special. I've had a few people tell me that the bond between a mommy and a son is unlike any other, which just amazes me since I didn't think it could get any better than what I have with my Gwendolyn! I'm excited to experience so many new things with him.
You are definitely long and lean for being 24 weeks. I can't wait until you can't see your toes again. :) Just kidding. You do look fabulous whether people know you are pregnant or not. Maybe you should start wearing your Old Navy swimsuits to church.
ReplyDeleteIt seems so strange to see you write him!! :) I agree the bond between a mother and son is so amazing.. I can't imagine not having my little man. You will LOVE it. He's going to be so sweet.. :)
