How far along: 24 Weeks!
Baby size: 11.8 in & 1.3 lb - the size of a large zucchini!
Maternity clothes: My husband got me a dwell and slumber dress for my birthday and it is so comfortable and probably my favorite new maternity wear I have had this time around.
Stretch marks: No, I think I have entered another phase of stretching though, hopefully it will be better for a little bit.
Sleep: Sometimes I can sleep through the night, sometimes I am up for hours in the middle of the night. Wish I could be more consistent.
Gender: A sweet little girl!
Best moment this week: Just imagining what this little girl will be like, how Kennedy will be with her, what life will be like.
Looking forward to: Sweet summertime. I keep thinking about how we will all be able to go outside when this little one is born and just enjoy the second half of summer as a family of 4!
What I miss: Walking normally. Rolling over normally. Bending down normally. Pretty much any movement normally. But I know it will get more interesting before it gets back to normal.
Movement: YES! A lot of strong kicks and wiggles, I love being able to feel them!
Food cravings: Popcorn has been a yummy treat. And if an apple a day keeps the doctor away what about 2-3 apples a day. I love them!
Aversions: No strong aversions right now, although I do enjoy keeping things simple these days.
Nursery: I went through all of Kennedy's newborn-4T clothes this past week. I had them stored in various places and they weren't too well organized, so I knew I needed to go through them all. I washed them and folded them and organized them, and it was a huge project. I wondered if I was jumping the gun and just anxious to get started with stuff like that even though we still have quite a bit of time left, but I was so glad I got it done. It took a lot of time and energy, but it was also so fun reminiscing about every outfit!
Overall: I'm feeling pretty good. I definitely feel like I am bigger this time around than I was with Kennedy and it feels like I should be closer to the end of pregnancy than I am, but it's all good. I'm sure time will just keep moving along and before we know it, this baby will be an active addition to our family.
Miscellaneous: Kennedy loves chatting with baby and asking baby all sorts of things. It makes me happy to know the baby's ears are developed now and can hear us. My favorite things are when Kennedy came to my belly and said " Hi, my name is Kennedy." Or when she sings primary songs to the baby. And about every meal she asks the baby if she likes what we ate. I love it.
