oh baby | twenty-four weeks
how far along?Β | 24 weeks {six months!}
due date:Β january 14, 2016
babyβs sizeΒ | a cantaloupe β he is approximately 10.5-11.8 inches long and 12.7-20.8 ounces
genderΒ | a babyΒ boy!
feelingΒ | not as good as the past few weeks but still canβt complainβ¦ just a little bit more tired than i have been {probably from a new lack of sleep} but again, nothing too bad! overall, i am really enjoying being pregnant β₯
maternity clothesΒ | still a little of both! i am currently up six pounds and itβs a mixture for now. thanks for the maternity clothes recommendations β₯
workoutsΒ | a few walks- not enough stretching/yoga this week.
sleepΒ | i didnβt sleep much sunday or monday night and it was hard to get through the workdays β teaching is no joke when you do get rest! tuesday night, i took half of a unisom pill around 11pm and it worked amazinglyβ¦ i wasnβt too groggy in the morning and was able to sleep. i have a new feeling of empathy towards those who suffer from insomnia and i feel so bad for anyone who goes through that regularlyβ¦Β
cravings | well⦠i have been wanting a lot of things that are not good for me but have been trying to restrict and eat as healthy as possible. {we are talking about all of my favorite junk foods: peanut butter cups, doritos, sour patch kids, swedish fish, strawberry blizzards, chimichangas, etc} i want it all.
fun
facts | his see-through skin is gradually becoming more opaque and itβs got a new pink glow, thanks to the small capillaries that have recently formed.
movementΒ | lots!! he loves to move around and dance at night β mr. monaco has been able to feel him several times this week- yay!
miss anythingΒ | still beer more than anything.Β
best moment of the week | spending saturday morning at the market, an afternoon with friends, organizing his room a little bit and then enjoying a netflix bender with mr. monaco that eveningΒ
looking
forward toΒ | a weekend in the midwest. i absolutely love going there in the fall and canβt wait to spend time with family and friends β while enjoying a wedding and our first baby shower!
howβs dad? amazing. i am so proud of him latelyβ¦ he is trying so hard to help me out in any way possible and it melts my heart- thank you.
next appointmentΒ | friday, october 16 {i will be 27 weeks and it will be glucose testing time- prayersΒ alreadyΒ for that, please!} Β
in case you missed:Β

Pregnancy gives you all kinds of cravings for the bad things! My kick right now is cereal at night. And prayers for that glucose test; I'm sure all will be fine for you. I had mine on Tuesday and it wasn't so bad!

The last trimester was my favorite time to be pregnant! Yes, you pee a lot, yes, you get much larger, but that's when I really felt like a mama in progress. π
