I know, I know

I try to update once a week and it's been like 3 weeks. Shame on me. Here goes:

How far along? 24 weeks and 1 day (WHOA)

Total weight gain: I go to the DR tomorrow so I'll have to step on the dreaded scale. I have been avoiding it at home so I really have no idea. I'm sure I'll be in the normal range but feel huge. That is pretty typical these days.

Maternity clothes: Between last post and this one, I have definitely gotten bigger. I can only wear pre-preg shirts. Everything else is maternity. And I am learning that dresses are my saving grace. Pants just annoy me when I sit all day at work. Dresses/skirts it is!

Stretch marks: I (cross your fingers) have not experienced these yet. Maybe the "big" stretch hasn't happened yet....

Best moment this week: I am going to talk about the previous 3 weeks. Since then, we have painted the baby's room (I don't like calling it a nursery for some reason), bought the crib and are getting the dresser tonight. I have also MAYBE gotten a little out of control on the buying clothes thing. I just got so excited when we found out it was a boy that I had to do something! I have calmed down....

Movement: There are no questions anymore. I feel him more often. he's more active in the afternoon and at the end of the day when I am on the couch. Dale has felt and SEEN him move now which is crazy. He's up by my belly button.

Food cravings: I still don't feel like I am craving anything but I am HUNGRY all the time. I seriously bring 2 lunches and 5 snacks to work and some days by 3, I am out of all of them and starving. It's out of control.

Pregnancy symptoms: Heartburn is still bad. I am goin to ask doc about it tomorrow. I think I need something stronger. Other than that, sleeping is hard. Waking up to go pee and not being comfortable but I know it's no where NEAR what it will be soon...


Okay I feel better now that I have documented the past 3 weeks of my pregnancy. Summer is here! Wow.
