Hmm, I don’t really have anything witty to say right now, so I’ll just get to the picture…
- How far along? 24 weeks, 6 days
- Total weight gain: 21.5 lbs. as of Tuesday morning when I weighed myself before my doctor appointment that day. That’s down 1 lb. since last week, but I blame that solely on the wicked cold I’ve had this week that left me with no appetite for a couple days. I’m sure next week’s weigh-in will more than make up for that.
- Maternity clothes? Bottoms – definitely. Tops – for the most part.
- Stretch marks? Thankfully, no. I didn’t get any from D, so hopefully Dv2.0 doesn’t give me any either.
- Sleep: When D sleeps through the night (which is almost always), it’s pretty good. Sometimes I have to get up to pee, but that isn’t a constant yet. And I am finding that I’m getting sorer and sorer each time I wake up lying on my back now too.
- Best moment this week: I’m actually going to cheat and use one from last week, but it happened after I had written last week’s post – seeing Zac Brown Band at Summerfest. They were phenomenal!
- Miss anything? Beer, especially now that the weather’s warming up.
- Movement: Yes, since about week 16 I believe. Kicks are getting stronger, so that’s a good sign. They’ve gotten to the point now, too, where when he/she really stretches out I not only feel a kick in the front/side/wherever the kid happens to be, but I feel it against my butt too. It’s like woah I have to poop! Oh, nope, no I don’t; just a kick. TMI? So sorry.
- Cravings: In general, no, but when I get really hungry I want protein – meat, cheese, etc.
- Aversions: Food, no. Smells, not nearly as bad as last time, fortunately. I just get sick of scents quickly and have to get rid of them completely.
- Gender: Not finding out.
- Labor signs: No.
- Symptoms: Pretty much nightly heartburn (still mild though, thankfully, and this week hasn’t been as bad for some reason), SI pain, my hair isn’t shedding much when I wash/brush it, and I have some serious pregnancy brain. And gas. Wow, definite TMI post today. Lucky you!
- Belly button in or out? In. Never went fully out with D, just a little crooked.
- Wedding rings on or off? On.
- Looking forward to: Getting a pedicure tomorrow afternoon. Ahhh…
And here’s the D vs. Dv2.0 comparison shot. Sorry again for the dreaded arm-on-hip pose. That should stop after next week. Do you think there’s a difference between these two kids?
