Baby Bump {Week 24}

Oops. Didn't mean to go a whole month in between an update! Life has been crazy around here as the hubs had 2 weeks in a row of traveling and LB had a cold. Plus, I mean I am pregnant and forget just how tiring that is when you are flying solo! I try and try to keep up as if I'm not carrying around extra weight but its starting to slow me down. In any case here are some pictures and an update :)

24 weeks

Lovin on his baby sister :)

How far along? 24 weeks and 2 days

Baby is the size of a(n): a footlong sub. Or so I think. In any case anytime I think of her size I want a turkey sandwich.

Food cravings/aversions: ice cream. I blame this one 100% on my husband. He has such a sweet tooth and many nights he asks me if I need him to run out and get me anything of course ice cream is on the top of his list for what my cravings should be. And now that the weather is warming up I can't resist.

Sleeping: Okay. I mean last night I woke up with an awful leg cramp and really had to pee. It is almost impossible to walk to the bathroom without falling flat on your face during a leg cramp. Needless to say I am now filling up on gatorade and bananas.

Milestones: If the baby was born today she would be viable. Woohoo! This is such a great milestone to reach especially when I have been having braxton hicks for the past few weeks and every time wonder if they will go away. I know I know this is completely par for course the second time around but it still freaks me out a little when they come.

Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: LB is so obsessed with my bump. It is quite cute and shows me he is going to be such a great big brother. But lately he thinks he should pull my shirt up everywhere to kiss the baby. And he also wants to do this to every person he sees.  I am trying so hard to teach him the baby is only in mommy's belly but he doesn't really understand that. My favorite of all is when he pulls up his own shirt and points to his belly telling everyone there is a baby in there. Adorable.

Differences this time around: As weird as this sounds I think I actually have more energy this time. It may be part due to that I am more in shape and eat better...aside from the ice cream runs ;) It probably also helps that I'm not able to just lay around and nap all day. LB is so full of energy that I have to be up running around and playing with him all day long.


Can you all believe we are already at 24 weeks?! I have another ultrasound coming up soon and I am so hoping baby girl gives us some face shots this time. I am getting more and more excited to meet her and enjoy chasing her around too.
