24 Weeks!

How far along? 24 weeks

Total weight gain: Still not sure, but I do know that I weigh more now than I have ever weighed in my life! 

Maternity clothes? Oh yeah! My wonderful sister-in-law is letting me use a bunch of her maternity clothes- she told me she didn't have that many and then we went through them together and she had a bunch! It was like Christmas all over again :) 

Stretch marks? I thought I found a couple yesterday but wasn't totally sure. The marks were actually fabric prints on my skin from my shirt that just took a really long time to go away. So no stretch marks and I'm still lotion-ing a ton to try to keep them away (even though I heard that doesn't really help haha). 

Sleep: It's been good since I've been on winter break! I can go to bed when I want and sleep as long as I want, which helps when I have nights where I wake up every couple hours from rolling onto my belly or having to pee. 

Best moment this week: I still have a little Christmas energy buzz :) Other than that, I painted the nursery grey, had a doctor appointment, and had a skype Christmas party with Dan's side of the family. I saw a nurse practitioner this time, and she wants to check with my doctor just to be sure, but she thinks my placenta has moved enough (or that it will) so it won't be considered a low-lying placenta anymore! It's been a good week so far! 

Miss Anything? My belly is starting to slow me down just a little bit- I can't get up as quickly and can't be on the go for as long. I do a lot of changing positions/moving around while I teach, so it will be interesting to see how that goes once school starts again! 
Movement: I could lay in bed with my hands on my tummy or watching my belly move around for hours! She's not even that big yet and she's making my belly do weird things :) 

Food cravings: Donuts and custard :) 

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Still cigarette smoke smell- yuck! And bacon sounds little more appealing, but I'm not ready to test making it quite yet. 

Gender: She's a girl! 

Labor Signs: I hope I have no signs anytime before I'm supposed to.  

Belly Button in or out? Mostly in. It gets more flat depending on where the baby is hanging out. The top half of it is pretty much always flat. It's kind of weird haha!

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy for the most part! 

Looking forward to: New Years Eve with friends tonight! I have to go get ready now :) 

Happy New Year!
