Baby bump
status: My little bump is becoming
more pronounced. I think the growth rate of
the belly is the biggest surprise about pregnancy for me. I didn’t expect my belly to just pop out
overnight, but I guess I also wasn’t aware of how long and subtle the process
is.
My belly area is really starting to feel very firm at times and looks mighty funny in a seatbelt. Here’s the monthly bump pic:

| 24 weeks |
Baby is as long as: An
ear of corn
Total weight gain: 13 pounds (change from last week: +1.6)
Days until due date: 112 – wow, we’re
getting close to 2 digits!
Symptoms: I still haven’t recovered from the long
weekend of work last weekend. I’m exhausted. I rode in the car a lot this week, and at
times during the rides, I would have short spells of shooting pains up my
back. I’ve also noticed that my hands
are dry and flaky like they get during winter.
What I miss: Today I was missing cold turkey
sandwiches from Subway. I also miss
ordering a soda with dinner; I limit myself to a 20-ish ounce soda at lunch.
Baby’s
movement: This week, in addition to
kicks and punches, I’ve noticed other types of movements. I guess my Little Man is tumbling around in
there. It’s so amazing to feel the
different movements he makes. I was able
to see him kick through the outside of my clothes a couple of times. Baby D’s grandmama saw him kick a few times,
and Auntie M felt one small kick. I hope
he is more active the next time I see them.
Looking forward to: Seeing my sweet
little boy on ultrasound tomorrow!!!!!
Gifts this
week: Me + Grandmama + shopping =
tons of purchases. We were out of
control! Auntie M and Uncle Shane also
gave Little Man several gifts including the lamp for his nursery.

Thanks, Grandmama and Auntie and Uncle! We love them all!
Purchases
this week: I went overboard on clothing this week,
and then Himal felt left out that my mom and I were doing so much shopping so he
picked out a few outfits, too.

| Baby D is ready for football season, and let me point out how cute the sweater vest and jeans outfit is. |
