How Far Along: 24 weeks, 5 days
Size of baby: just over a pound and almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), (according to www.babycenter.com)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 19.5 lbs
Movement: She started moving a lot more this week. I am feeling her pretty strongly now and you can definitely feel her kicks from the outside.
Sleep: Still the same = Not good! I think I only sleep for like 2 hours at a time before I either wake up to turn to my other side or to go to the bathroom (mostly the latter!)
Symptoms: Still mostly the same, but I’ve had more sciatic pain this week. It’s not constant, but just more of it. With Caleb, it was on my right side but this time it is on my left side. Other than that, never ending trips to the bathroom, restless sleep, some mild heartburn and the other normal pains of pregnancy!
What I miss: sleeping straight through the night, not hurting after being on my feet, and just feeling better overall (physically). Pregnancy is an amazing thing and I am so blessed to be pregnant for a 3rd time…..but I’ve hit that point where I just feel like my body has been hijacked and I am just the carrier for who is really running the show! That might not make sense, but if you’ve been pregnant before, maybe it does! Still praying that she gets fully “cooked” though! I am just dreaming of feeling normal again. :-)
Cravings: I think I’ve been wanting to eat at Gringo’s for so long now that I’ve almost forgotten about it! (almost) I don’t think I have any true cravings this week.
Best moment this week: Feeling her kick more!
What I am looking forward to: Parents Night Out at church on Friday and then getting this move over with! I haven’t blogged much (or any?) about us moving, but it’s happening next week. I’m ready to get moved and settled into our new house! (which I know will take a while……but just the anticipation of moving is driving me bonkers! That and the packing.)
