24 weeks

24 weeks
a.k.a. - the last weeks of my 2nd trimester

Can't believe in just a few short months, our little guy will be here!

(You'll have to excuse the pics - they are post work-out)


Total weight gain/loss?  13 lbs
Size of baby:  1.5 lbs
Maternity clothes?  sometimes yes, sometimes no.  I'm one of those that highly dislikes maternity clothes and will hang on to my regular clothes as long as possible!!
Stretch marks? thankfully no!
Sleep?  sleeping great, well that's if you consider getting up twice in a night great
Best moment of the past few weeks?   great check-up at our last Dr appt :)
Miss anything? My ability to reach down to put on tights, socks, shoes.  This task we all take for granted is becoming more challenging every day.  I told Watson he would have to start dressing me soon! haha!!
Movement?  oh yeah - lots of kicks, punches, hiccups :)
Food cravings?  coffee drinks, cereal and sweets. Boo!  I was hoping I could hold out on the sweets, but looks like that's not going to happen!
Anything make you queasy or sick?  ground turkey - everything about it! 
Symptoms:  leg cramps, round ligament pain, itchy stomach - ya know, the usual
Gender prediction? It's a boy!
Belly button, in or out? in
Wedding rings, on or off? on
Happy or Moody? Happy!
Looking forward to? clearing out the nursery and closet then filling it back up again :)
Nursery progress:   All big furniture is purchased and some of his bedding!  YAY!  A couple of the furniture pieces still need a little TLC though.  We have set a mid-February deadline to complete.  We'll see how that works out for us!


Crib is up and walls are painted! 


One corner of the room is getting filled with goodies!   Now, onto moving in the rest of the furniture!

DISCLAIMER: For some reason the wall color looks totally different in each of these pics.  It's really a mix between the two.
