Week 24

I am going to start off this post by saying I can not believe I am six months pregnant. This pregnancy is flying by!!

What is baby up to at 24 weeks? 

• Baby is the size of a cantaloupe or over 12 inches long and weighs around a pound and a half 
• He should steadily gain at a rate of six ounces per week
• At 24 weeks his "see-through skin" is gradually becoming less translucent and is looking more opaque. 

24.5 weeks pregnant with Landon (sick with pre-eclampsia)

24 weeks pregnant with Oliver

As the weather for my bump pictures with Oliver got warmer, the weather with this pregnancy is getting colder. I won't be able to wear a lot of the same maternity tops but can't wait to wear over sized sweaters and leggings. Also, this is my last bump picture in our apartment before we move into our townhouse!!

24 weeks pregnant with #3

Side note: A lot of my bump pictures with Oliver were taken at night. All of my pictures this pregnancy have been taken first thing in the morning before eating. Which I think maybe the reason my belly looks smaller.

 How is mama doing?
Weight Gain: +1 pound this week putting me at 104.2lbs
Exercise: Moving/cleaning counts as exercise right?
Craving: Chocolate and peanut butter
Eating: I had a lot of bread this week I am surprised I didn't gain more than a pound, muffins, soup, bananas/apples with peanut butter, and broccoli
Maternity clothes: Wearing only maternity clothes at this point


Symptoms:

• Sleep: Waking up once or twice a night to use the bathroom and then having trouble getting comfortable after that.
• Movement: All day long, does this boy ever sleep?
  
• Itchy belly: Still using bio oil and coconut oil but my belly is soo itchy allll ttthhhheee time! 
• Clumsiness: Tripping over my feet this week and running into things... It is quite embarrassing!
