24w4d: Cantelope

How far along? 24 weeks, 4 days

Maternity clothes: Pants, for sure, but tops are still stretching and making work for now.

Stretch marks: Same.

Sleep: Terrible this week, but that's partly our fault. I knew Daniel was leaving on Friday for Ohio for a week, so each night that we could finally spend time together we did...until 1 or 2 in the morning!!  I paid for it at work being so sleepy, but the laughs together each night were worth every minute.

 Best moment this week: Laughing with Daniel at youtube videos that we played for the baby when he was up at midnight...it's so funny how he reacts to different beats of music; Watching Daniel play/win softball; getting rid of more stuff from the house to make room for baby and settle on the nursery plans. 

Miss Anything: Family.

Movement: He is so active!  It will be funny when I will need to start keeping track of his kick count because he is constantly giving my stomach (and bladder) a beating!

Symptoms: Numbness in my legs (this is not a good feeling when I have to pee at all hours of the night but can't get out of bed because I can't walk...ugh!); Dizziness; Leakage; and emotional highs and lows (thank you hormones!).

Food cravings: Anything really...I'm hungry all the time!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing new. 

Have you started to show yet: Um....yes.

Gender: BOY!

Labor Signs: No 

Belly Button in or out?: Flattening out slowly but surely 

Wedding rigns on or off: Rocking the rock still. :)  Oh yeah!

General Mood: Depends on the day and my exhaustion level, but overall good and happy.  I may have had one meltdown from some stupid comment Daniel made...and I may or may not have then snapped right out of it and made-up with him. It's a rollar coaster, and I'm not the driver!!!!

Best advice this week: Lots of breastfeeding advice from Alexandra and great "new mom" advice from Tracy.

Worst advice this week: Nothing really bad or funny.

Exercise: Not too much this week other than light walking because my legs have been numb down to my toes....probably wouldn't be the safest idea in the world.

Looking forward to: Vacation in two weeks; Having Daniel back home in one week (I know...he just left, but I can't help it!); Figuring things out so we can stop stressing every second about it...daycare, nursery, work after baby, etc etc.
