How far along: 24 weeks! Second trimester is coming to a quick end. I thought I would be more 'on it' with blogging this pregnancy but that is certainly not the case. I'm amazed at how quickly it is going by!
Baby is the size of a: (Long as): An ear of corn!
Maternity clothes: We are in full swing into maternity pants. I have started to bust out the maternity tops (as it turns out I only have ONE, yes, one short sleeved top!) With it being so hot and humid down here, still, I can't even be outside in my jeans. So my clothing of choice are still dresses that I fit into or comfy workout capris. Thankfully it looks like the weather is, hopefully, making a turn for the cooler side and I just might be able to start wearing some of my maternity tops. Although, I am pretty shocked at how little maternity clothes I have. I'm thinking some more shopping is in order...
Anything make you queasy or sick: Nope!
Food Cravings: Chocolate. Chocolate. Chocolate.
Miss anything: Just tonight as I was reading Zach his bedtime stories, it seems like we are starting to lose sitting space on my lap :( My little guy also loves to jump on me and 'wrestle' which I miss not being able to do with freedom.
Weight Gain: +10. The numbers are starting to look very big :/
Boy or Girl: BOY! I'm so excited to have two little boys running around. I also have been going through old pictures of Zach and I am excited for this little one to wear his cute little baby clothes!
Movement: He seems to be getting more powerful everyday. At around 20/22 weeks I started feeling him consistently in the evening. Around 22 weeks (I think) I could start seeing movement from the outside. The kicks are becoming more powerful and can be seen more prominently on my belly. I generally feel him more in the evening, when I am finally laying down and relaxing and not chasing after a toddler all day long.
Best moment this week: Having Justin's mom visit for a whole week! We got a lot of quality time with her and Zach loved having his Gramma around!
Worst moment this week: With the busyness of this past week, a certain little boy's nap and sleep schedule has been majorly thrown off, which has led to not-smooth bedtimes. I feel like we regressed in the sleep department to 8 month stage.
Looking forward to: Going to Asheville this weekend to celebrate my sister's birthday, apple picking and having our fall extravaganza with my sisters and mom!
Other tidbits:
- My husband and I went out on a date last night and the waitress at the restaurant was the first stranger to comment on my pregnancy this time around. I guess I have officially reached the bump stage and not just the 'I look overweight' stage.
- I am having major nesting urges. Mainly to do Zach's 'big boy' room (which is currently our guest room). I am not ready to lose the guest room yet, and we have not bought anything for his room either, so it's going to wait a little longer. I have also been wanting to pull out all of the newborn baby clothes, but since I don't have anywhere to put them just yet, they are going to stay nicely folded in the giant storage container in the closet. My sister is also having nesting urges for me too because she has suggested painting the nursery like four times now! I will take her up on it one of these days!
- It was in the 70's here yesterday so I decorated for fall today!
- When I ask Zach where the baby is, he either pulls up his shirt and points to his belly and says, 'Baby!' or pulls up my shirt to see my belly. He loves to kiss the baby (my belly) and then pull my shirt down and say "Buy bye!" I think he is going to make such a wonderful big brother :)
- My next doctor's appointment is my glucose test :( I failed it during my first pregnancy and had to get the 3 hour test done, which was not fun! Please pray that I will pass the test the first time around!
