24 Weeks - Viability!!
I know I've been slacking the past couple of weeks but now that the holidays and traveling are behind us hopefully things will get back to normal (even though I know these updates are more for me than anyone else)
How Far Along: 24 weeks
Size of baby: Ear of Corn ~1.5 pounds, 8.5 inches
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +9.5 as of this morning on the home scale...doctors appointment tomorrow for the official weigh-in
Maternity Clothes: Yep - most of the time, even though I get told that I'm not showing much... They're just much more comfy
Movement: Oh yes - he's definitely getting stronger. Some days he is very active and others days just little spurts here and there. It really is an amazing feeling though and too funny when I see my belly bounce out
Sleep: This has been HEAVEN since Matt got me the snoogle for Christmas. I know that he was hesitant to but I am happy with it. I swear I die when I fall asleep. I'm not even sure I move at night now...and wake up with imprints on my face, belly, etc. I'm soaking up this new love.
Symptoms: Odd exhaustion....worse than the beginning of pregnancy. I'm not sure if my body just loves the snoogle that much as well or what is going on. Definitely plan on seeing what the doctor thinks about it and hoping that I'm not anemic now.
What I miss: again work...or maybe it's just a schedule instead of so much free time that I don't even know what to do (I realize that in a few months, I'll desperately be missing this)
Cravings: It varies still...no real cravings. Dr. Pepper has been one spurt within the last couple of weeks. Currently it's apples...apple sauce, apple juice, etc.
Best Moment this week: Learning new things about him...that when he's awake if you press against him, he'll hit back against you...applesauce and juice wake him up...that he likes the quiet and that's when he's most active. If there is too much noise or even if we are talking too much, he'll stop and just hang out...almost like he's either being shy or just taking it all in - either way like his momma :)

I had the Dr. Pepper craving as well as apple juice at one point as well! I also am anemic, and I was really tired because of it. I just have to take an additional Iron supplement. Good luck at your appointment!
