24 weeks

How far along: 24 weeks

Size of baby: About the size of a canteloupe; roughly a foot long and weighing in between 16-21 ounces

Total Weight Gain/Loss: back to "normal" I would say - just a little under my pre-pregnancy weight at this point and working to just eat as healthy as I can 

How I'm Changing: bump is really growing - I swear sometimes I think it grows overnight... the photos below are less than a week apart and I definitely feel bigger now
22w5d
super cool work bathroom selfie... 23w3d
Maternity Clothes:  wearing them almost exclusively... some of my non-maternity shirts still work (see above) but the numbers are dwindling 

Gender: baby boy 

Movements: kicks/bumps getting stronger every day and B could feel "tiny bumps" from the outside a few days ago :-) 

Sleep: ok but waking up several times a night to adjust my position and get comfortable - also the dreams are seriously strange

Symptoms:  some back and abdominal pain as baby is growing

How I'm feeling: good overall but tired

What I Miss: nothing new... red wine, sushi

Cravings: Arby's roast beef sandwich... fortunately I am in Indiana this weekend where I can get such things :-)  (the closest Arby's to my home in New England is 26 miles away... what the heck?!)

Best Moment(s) of the Week: Brian and I had a really nice day off together on New Year's Day and although I am sad that I didn't get to spend Friday with him too I am looking forward to seeing lots of friends/family at the shower today!  Definitely enjoying spending some time with my mom and sister this weekend as well.

What I am Looking Forward To: looking forward to our ultrasound on Tuesday - I bet this little guy is just even cuter than last time I saw him
