24 Weeks

Little dude is the size of an ear of corn! 

I'm having a really hard time resisting the urge to down an entire bag of marshmallows. My love of bean, rice, and cheese burritos is fading. Maybe because my disdain for meat is also fading? I'm finally getting that extra protein somewhere other than beans.

Physical changes: Getting bigger by the moment. I can almost feel his growth spurts. One day I'll feel crazy tired and hungry, and the next day I'm huge! I have added a second pillow between my knees at night which is making sleeping a little easier. Although, baby boy is also getting more active and has chosen night time to practice his dance moves. My belly button is disappearing, but I still have no stretch marks, so yay!!

Happy thoughts: I had a check up today with my regular O.B. and got to hear that wonderful little thud-thud of a heartbeat (150 bpm) and I'm measuring just right. I've gained twelve pounds so far. Not bad considering the amount of carbohydrates I've inhaled over the past 24 weeks. Josh has gotten to feel a ton of kicks and I can constantly see little dude dance across my belly. Sometimes it even feels like he's kicking and punching at the same time. All is well in utero. 

Next week- another ultrasound!

"Hey look! Mom's huge!" Don't worry, Josh is right behind me making sure she doesn't fall.
