| 24 Weeks, 3 Days |
Week 23 was a good week! It flew by with the craziness of moving, and there was very little discomfort or pain. We had a Dr's appointment on Wednesday, and everything checked out great. Baby boy is staying put for quite a while longer, and she confirmed what I already knew: to not over-do it during the move. Clay's been the enforcer of this while at home, and has been incredibly helpful with everything. It's been difficult for me because my independence, and work ethic (simply put, being a control freak) doesn't allow me to take help easily. He's patient with my bossyness, and is firm on me doing minimal lifting. I know he's right, and I appreciate the gesture. He's always been a great boyfriend/partner, but seeing how he's transitioned thru this pregnancy has been so beautiful. We met during a stage in our life where we were partying a lot, and the transition that I HAD to make, he chose to make as well. Our weekend nights have turned into the same bedtimes as week nights, and he's never once held this against me, or acted like it was a bother to him. I've even been concerned at times, and suggested that he go out when there's a concert or something going on that, a year ago, we wouldn't have missed! He just brushes it off, and says he wouldn't enjoy it knowing I was at home.... and he'd rather get up early to golf the next day anyways ;-p We still do fun things together, but our time frame of going out/ going home has just shifted significantly. I'll thank his love of golf for this change partially, but I know the majority of it is him stepping up to fatherhood. He's going to be an amazing daddy :-)
How far along? 24 weeks, 3 days today
Total weight gain/loss? I don't know how, but I'm holding steady at 11 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Only wearing maternity pants or maxi skirts, and have had fewer pre-pregnancy tops work. This has been a huge help with clearing out a lot of my closet though. I've held on to clothes from highschool, that I finally parted ways with! My mind set when going thru my closet was, "Will I wear this with a baby on my hip?" If it was a no, it was a go. It was such an easy, cleansing task!
Stretch marks? None thankfully. If i'm going to get them, it'll be soon though. Belly's getting BIG
Sleep? I'm sleeping well, but am changing positions more frequently. Any time I change sides, it takes a bit more effort than it has previously.
Best moment this week? Hearing his heart beat again, and the Dr saying all was ok regarding my contractions last week.
Miss Anything? Rare Steak
Movement? Getting stronger every day, still not painful though!
Food/Drink cravings? Smothered Green Chile Bean Burrito. Had this at least 4x last week. Baby boy likes SPICY!!!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Have you started to show yet? Yes
Gender? It's a BOY!
Labor Signs? Nope
Belly Button in or out? More so flat, than an inney. Clay finds this part of pregnancy absolutely HILARIOUS! He makes a point to comment on my belly button every time he sees my belly...... yea.....hilarioius. Hmph
Happy or Moody most of the time? Very happy
Looking forward to? Moving this weekend, and getting to set up the nursery. Our theme is Arcitc Animals/ Mountains and we already have some cute stuff, and some great ideas!
