24 Weeks

(Per usual, Carli is by my side)

Due date: April 8, 2014

How far along? 24 Weeks 

What fruit are you? Size of an ear of corn

Total weight gain/loss: 20 lbs ... I told the scale the truth that it was really me gaining weight (see last weeks post); now every time I step on it asks. I'm definitely ones of those girls that's going to gain too much weight!

Maternity clothes? Since last week I outgrew most of my tops and my regular jeans are a tad snug on the thunder thighs. There's too many to name at this point but the essentials are the Tummy Tube, Jcrew Pixie pants and Matchstick jeans

Stretch marks? No... but if I eat too much my tummy physically feels like it's stretching and hurts!

Sleep: Nothing makes me sleep better than a night of prenatal yoga
Miss Anything? whiskey cocktails and champagne

Exercise: Yoga and waiting on my Linus Mixte 3 bicycle... soon :)

Movement: All the time and all over the place; I'm starting to feel her a lot in my lower pelvic area. 

Food cravings: Forever and always, dark chocolate, anything with caramel and peanut butter cups. Maybe this is where those extra LBs are coming from ... said the fat girl. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Gender: Little Minnie :) 

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? Tiny, flattening Inny

Happy or Moody: Happy! 

Looking forward to: This work week going by fast because we're hosting a Gift exchange and Christmas Vacation Drinking Game party and one of 3 brothers gets in town!!
Best moments this week: Christmas parties, art show and Annual Christmas shopping with mommy! (bucket list, check!) Pregnancy brain highlight of the weekend: At 5pm in the mall, after a long day of shopping, I realized I only put one earring on :)

Christmas Party!

Art show purchase for the nursery! This quote from Emerson makes sense to us because if we were having a boy the name was going to be Emerson after this philosopher (Nate's favorite).
