How far along? 24 Weeks
Size of Baby: Ear of corn (almost 12 inches long, a little over 1 pound)
Waist: 38 in
Total weight gain: 11 lbs, didn't gain any this past week.
Maternity clothes? Yep!
Stretch marks? None yet on my stomach...however I do have some on the underside of my boobs.
Sleep: Blah.
Best moment this week: Nothing really drastic this week, although baby is so much stronger! I am amazed how much he kicks and how much I can feel and see him. My mom really got to feel him move, so that was very exciting! I had my monthly check up today. Everything is good, baby's heartbeat measured at 151 bpm.
Miss anything? Restful sleep.
Movement: Holy cow yes. At one point this week I almost wanted to tell him to simmer down, but then no...its very awesome to feel him.
Food cravings: Got my Hooters this week again...yum!
Anything making you queasy or sick: No
Gender: Boy!
Labor signs: No.
Symptoms: I think I am now experiencing sciatic nerve pain on my right side. Its mostly focused in my right buttock, doesn't travel too far down my leg. I mostly notice it at the end of the work day.
Belly button in or out? It seems like it ventures farther out every day!
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy. Still worn out everyday after work though.
Looking forward to: Christmas! Also, our good friends Will and Susie had their baby girl today, so I can't wait to meet Baby Isla!
Fact: He is pretty lean at 24 weeks, but he'll soon be putting on some "baby fat" to fill out his frame and his wrinkled skin, which is due to the lack of subcutaneous fat. He has begun to develop white blood cells. These cells are responsible for fighting off disease and infection. His lungs develop branches this week, and his inner ear is completely developed. In fact, he has basic control over all of his senses: hearing, touch, smell, and vision! (-Everyday Family)
