This week is such a big milestone - viability week!
How far along: 24 weeks (as of 3.08.14)
Gender: It's a BOY!
Baby is: The size of a cantaloupe.. about 11.8 inches long and about 1 pound.
Weight gain: 11 pounds as of my last OB appointment.
Maternity clothes: You betcha.. and thanks to my sister-in-law, I now have a gigantic maternity wardrobe!
Stretch marks: Nadda.
Belly button in or out: In.
Sleep: Restless, but getting a few hours at a time. Nothing to complain about.
Best moment this week: Putting the nursery together! We were able to put the dressers and crib to place this week and we hung most of his stuff on the walls. I have a few organizational things ordered and the room will be 98% complete once those come in. It was so surreal being able to get things ready for him.
Movement: He is an active little boy! We did have a scare this week when he decided to be extra tired on Wednesday. By 1:00 pm I hadn't felt any movement - which is totally not normal. I called my OB and they had me eat a big candy bar. About thirty minutes later, I felt a few little movements. The boy likes chocolate and sugar. They had me monitor him for 24 hours, and by Thursday morning, he seemed to be back to his old moving-self.
Cravings: Popcorn, ice cream, buffalo chicken dip
Queasy or sick: Feeling good!
Looking forward to: So many exciting things in the next month or so! Maternity photos, our elective ultrasound, organizing his dressers (yes, I love to organize), re-doing the little guy's bathroom, and a party or two.
Your outfit is so cute! Certain tops have been lifesavers to me postpartum, not to mention they are the comfiest!
