Pregnancy week 24


How Far Along: 24 weeks


Total Weight Gain/Loss: 15 pounds (see story below)
Maternity Clothes: some pants and shorts, just because they are really comfy. I can still fit in my jeans with the help of a belly band
Best Moment this week: when Dylan was giving out kisses good night and asked to kiss the baby. we haven't even suggested it, ever.
Gender: We are not finding out...let's hope I can hold out
Movement: Felt some occasional small movements, but my placenta is anterior so it will be a while before I feel anything constant
Food Craving: nothing new lately but I can always eat certain junk foods
What I miss: being able to bend over and pick stuff up without grunting
Sleep: I wake up usually at 1:30 and 5:30 to go potty.
What I am looking forward to: finalizing Dylan's big boy room and getting him moved out of the nursery
Belly Button: it's pretty much out

At the doctor today, I weighed and when the doctor came in, she was kind of shocked at my weight gain. She asked if I had weighed on the same scales.  I told her yes and she said you are the second person with a jump in weight. I wonder if they are off.  She wanted me to weigh on another scale and it was 7 lbs less.  Originally, I had gained 8 lbs in 4 weeks, now it's was only 1 lb in 4 weeks.  She was relieved and told me I could eat this week. I told her I would have ate regardless.
