Holy cannoli, I am 6 MONTHS PREGNANT you guys!! I am having a really hard time believe that in 16 short weeks we will have a son or a daughter FOR-EV-ER (said in Sandlot voice).
Here are my stats:
Week 24:
Pregnancy Stats:
How Far Along: 24 weeks 1 day
Size of baby: Papaya
Total Weight Gain: I am starting to regret tracking my weight gain on here, but as of yesterday I was 142 lbs. Yes that's a 4 in the middle of that number. I am feeling super duper huge right now and I know it's only going to get worse. This weekend I had a mini-meltdown because I couldn't fit into any of my clothes and I hadn't done laundry in about 2 weeks so I didn't have any of my cute maternity clothes clean so I had to wear some of my "fat" shorts that didn't match to the Astros game. Poor Casey... he had to deal with a lot of Sarah meltdowns this weekend.
Gender: Had our anatomy scan last Thursday and I was SO scared that the tech was accidentally going to reveal the gender. I honestly didn't look at the monitor very much because I was so scared of accidentally finding out and Casey not being there. Apparently he was scared of the same thing because as soon as he got home from work he said "You accidentally found out the gender didn't you?" He had a feeling all day about it - luckily I did NOT find out the gender. C and I are still both feeling "girl". Our family on the other hand - are almost all convinced it's a boy. We shall see!
Movement: YES! So extreme now that it's making my belly move around! I love it!!
Sleep: Good except for Riley insisting on being right up against me. It's hard to get up to pee at night when you have a 60 lb dog pinning you under the comforter.
What I miss: Eating sandwiches all the time. Also with family being in town I am missing having wine with everyone.
Cravings: Nachos... just not the fajita kind at the ballpark that are covered in tomatoes and onions. Casey went to get me nachos and instead of coming back with the delicious/terrible for you ones covered in chili and cheese, he brought back some fancy steak nachos that were covered in tomatoes and raw onions. Apparently my hormones were in full drive because I started... CRYING. Yes crying. About nachos. Like a little kid that didn't get their way. I literally could not fight back the tears - I was inconsolable. I've never been so upset over something so ridiculous in my life. Of course we were with Casey's family and my dad so I was UBER-embarassed. I slunk away to a trashcan to cry and try to pick out each tiny little shredded onion and tomato to no avail. Luckily I got over it pretty quickly.
Symptoms: Same as last week, just my hips and back a little. Feeling good otherwise.
Best Moment this week: Three best moments:
1. I was snuggling with C yesterday morning and he had his hand on the belly and the baby kicked him really hard. He was super excited!
2. Dr. D said at my appointment that this is a great week because the baby has a much better chance of surviving now that I am 24 weeks!
3. I registered at the hospital! Can you believe it? This is really going down!! We're going to have a baby, a REAL one, in a hospital! ANDDDDD - we get to take her/him home!!! WHAAAT??? I guess it's REALLY sinking in now..
