How Big is the Baby: 1.3 pounds, not sure of the fruit this week because it said papaya for weeks 23 and 24 on countdown to pregnancy. Also I think it's still about 12 inches head to toes.
New/Changed Symptoms: I want to eat all the time. Besides that I feel about the same this week. "Butterfingers" - dropping everything. Very heightened sense of smell - I thought that was an early pregnancy symptom?
Emotions: I've been feeling great!
Something Funny That Happened: Nothing yet (seems the funny things happen on our weeks with the boys - we don't have them this week). Brent just chuckles at me every time I get ready for bed at night - I guess I look funny buck naked big tummy just lathering myself up. I also have this obsession since I've been pregnant with having clean feet. I never wear socks so by the end of the day my feet are always grubby from walking around (our house is all hardwood) and I MUST rinse them in cold water in our ensuite bathtub every single night without exception.
Best moment of the Week: Enjoyed a really nice long weekend with hubby - great weather, quality time together and with friends.
Movement: Most frequest or maybe I can just feel it most when I'm lying down on my back. Without fail every time someone puts their hand on my stomach to feel, the baby stills. So frustrating!
Maternity Clothes: Had some stuff given to me. I have a nice little summer wardrobe, but I do need some longer tops. I dont like "maternity" tops I just like regular tanks and tees, they fit fine, just need some longer ones.
Weight: See my latest forum posting about weight gain - From the end of week 23 (Friday) till today at 24 w 4 d, I have gained another pound and a half. Trying to not worry but I've never seen the scale so high!!!!!
Food cravings: Cereal and milk, fruit, candy. My food cravings have basically stayed the same since week 16 or so. The unusual stuff was mostly in the first trimester.
Food aversions: None!
What I Miss: Nothing this week really.
What I'm Looking Forward To: Nursery.............................................. not the actual DOING it but having it done. It's one of many stressors in my life.
Milestone: Six months, no stretchmarks.
Question(s): Am I really going to get double the size????? I can't imagine getting bigger. I am already finding doing normal activities very difficult with the belly in the way......
