24 Weeks!

Baby size: 8.5 inches long, 1.5 lbs (about the size of a ear of corn)
Maternity clothes: I love my maternity jeans, they are pretty comfy. A friend from Pittsburgh let me borrow some of her maternity clothes which was such a blessing. I am kind of fitting into some of them while others might be better on my down the road. I bought a black maternity dress though that is just perfect right now. It is so comfy that I want to wear it every Sunday!
Stretch marks: Nope not yet. But I can feel my belly stretching out and lotion has been helping a bit. 
Sleep: Well I am missing our comfy bed back home. So sleep has been kind of really hard. Not to mention that this whole transition to Baltimore has brought along some pretty stressful moments and lots of little (and big) stressful decisions which I think is kind of taking a toll on my sleep efforts. Hopefully things will just calm down and I will at least get kind of use to this not so comfy bed.

Gender: Girl girl girl. Although my mom, Daniel, and I have all had dreams that is was a boy. Haha. I am finally getting use to it and I am pretty dang excited about it too. It is really fun to think of a little girl and I love calling this baby her or she instead of it. It makes it so much more real.
Best moment this week: Um we were in a restaurant and our waitress was like bowing to me and saying we love pregnant women. It was actually the weirdest thing ever. Really the best moments have been seeing baby girl kick and punch and feeling her. I just love it. 
Looking forward to: Moving into our new apartment (in two weeks) and seeing the bedroom again so that I can kind of visualize the space for the nursery again.

What I miss: Rolling over at night and sleeping on my back. I always have to make a huge effort to role over and it usually causes me to wake up. Getting comfortable is a bit more difficult and sometimes laying on my back is the only position that feels good. I try not to fall asleep that way though and if I wake up on my back I try to roll to my side.

Movement: YES! Especially when I am just sitting down reading or at the end of the day. I love her kicks and punches and whatever else is going on. It is really comforting to me.
Food cravings: We bought some cinnamon toast crunch cereal and oh boy that was tasty tasty. Also green grapes were sounding like the best most refreshing treat ever one day and they lived up to my hopes and dreams :) We also got a membership to planet fitness and they have grape frooties to take with you so I always grab one at the end of my workout and yum.
Aversions: Not really. 

Nursery: Pink and gold. Coral and gray. Browns, creams, and pinks with a touch of greens. I have no idea. I hope I can find a color swatch or something I like and just go with it. Seriously this is harder than choosing wedding colors.

Miscellaneous: This is really the craziest summer in the world. But I really love Daniel and I have found a lot of strength depending on him and being with him. I also have found a lot of strength depending on my Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ while we have been here. I feel like this past month we have had to make a million decisions and they have not been easy and they just keep coming but it just makes me so thankful for the power of prayer and that I do not have to go it alone.
