24 week pregnancy update!

 
How far along: 24 weeks exactly and a big Yay, for viability. It's another milestone that I like to get to. I haven't posted about it, but I was in the OB triage a few weeks back having contractions. It's sad when the Dr. tells you that they can't do too much at this point if the baby decides to come. I know it's the truth, but it's not something that I wanted to hear. I wasn't too thrilled about the whole visit and when I relayed all the information I was told to my OB, she was quite upset.  

Weight gain: I had gained another 2 pounds last week for a total of about 8 pounds.  

Gender: Girl!  

Maternity clothes: Found these AWESOME maternity pants made by Noppies. I could seriously live in these pants. No other changes, with the heat here I pretty much wear pants and a tank top all the time .

Sleep:Sleeping good still, but I have noticed it's taking me longer to relax to get to sleep.  

Movement: She a busy little lady in the late evenings. This is probably why getting to sleep is a struggle, she is rolling all around when I'm trying to get to sleep.  

Food Cravings: No major cravings  

Symptoms: Nausea in the evenings has also returned. I've also been noticing some numbness in my hands and feet. Something I will be bringing up to the nurse that comes by weekly.
Best Moment(s) this Week:Nothing that really stands out, it's been a fairly uneventful week.  

What I am looking forward to: Getting the room started! I hope to get the chevron stripes on the one wall at least drawn out and taped this weekend. I have picked up some frames and some wall letters and did paint those.

24 weeks

This week has been the fastest week in months. I want to enjoy this pregnancy but I'm also very excited to see Parker in a few months. We have our hospital tour this coming week which should be fun. I have seen pictures of the L&D on the internet but we will learn alot more about what to do and where do go when we go into labor. We will see the rooms, visit the NICU, and meet some of the staff.

How far along: 24 weeks
Weight gain: 15 pounds
Stretch marks: No changes
Symptoms: I'm starting to get some energy back, I get exhausted throughout the day but I don't feel as tired when bedtime comes around and I have been only getting up once per night to use the restroom.
Sleep: It's getting better, tossing and turning still happens but now it's because I don't know where to rest my belly and still be comfortable.
Best Moment this Week: Hmm, this is a tough one. We just didn't have a very busy week. I did get some cute pictures taken(just amateur) of my hubby and I and my daughter and I and my preggo belly.
Food Cravings: I'd say peaches, for sure
Labor Signs: BH only
Belly Button in or out?: In
Wedding rings on or off?: On but getting tighter
Movement: He is so very busy and kicking very hard, his head has been resting under my right ribs so they are very very sore. It's so awesome, is all I have to say, regardless of how sore I get.
Milestones: In about 2 weeks, Parker should be opening his eyes in the womb.
