24 Weeks

I'm slacking on my weekly bump post.  Totally waited until the last minute seeing how I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow!
I think we've officially entered the "nesting" phase.  Ben and I did a bunch of cleaning and organizing this weekend.  I went through all of my clothes and packed away all of my summer clothes, and clothes that just won't fit until after this baby makes an appearance.  I also pulled a bunch of clothes out to donate to goodwill.  You know you're getting old when you get excited about organizing!

24 Week Chalkboard

 Bump Shot!

How far along? 24 Weeks 7 days…. baby is the size of a cantaloupe or an ear of corn (depending on what website you go to!) 

Total weight gain: 15 pounds

Maternity clothes?  Pretty much everything I wear on the bottom is maternity…. but I'm still able to fit into some of my pre-pregnancy tops seeing how I had a lot of flowy tops before.

Stretch marks?  Nope!

Sleep:  Sleeping well besides having to get up a couple times a night…. also, my hips and lower back have occasionally been giving me some issues.

Best moment this week:  Taking it easy this week.  We were able to stay at home this weekend and relax!

Miss anything?  Being able to move around easily.  As a former gymnast, I've never had issues of not being able to get off the floor….. but I've noticed it has become more and more difficult to get up if I'm sitting on the floor.  Also, it's crazy to see my ab muscles get totally thrown out the window!  If I'm laying down I can't just sit straight up, I have to do this maneuver where I roll towards the side and then push myself up.  It's all good though…. b/c it's all for baby Percy!    

Movement:  I think he's training to become a gymnast or a skier!

Food cravings?  I guess fall-esqe foods 

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nope 

Have you started to show yet:  You know it!

Gender:  Baby boy Percy! 

 Labor signs:  n/a

Symptoms:  Non these days.  

Belly button in or out?  It's definitely poppin'  Oh Man!  

Wedding rings on or off?  on and I'm hoping it stays this way!

Mood:  Happy and excited

Looking forward to:  Taking it easy this week

Weekly goals/plans: Heading up to VT this weekend to check out Alyson and Terry's new house!
