24 weeks/ six months!

How far along?  24.5 weeks!

Total weight gain: Up 3lbs from pre-pregnancy

Maternity clothes?  Yup – living in maternity leggings, yoga pants and jeans/shorts. I have started rotating in maternity shirts, but still wear a mix.

Stretch Marks?  Haven’t noticed any new ones so far

Sleep:  Lately it’s been really good. I have had a bit of a cold so I am out like a light when my head hits the pillow but I wake up still tired.

Best moment this week:  Being told that baby is doing great and so am I!

Worst moments this week:  Getting a cold. I’ve been so achy, foggy and just rough overall.

Miss Anything?  Hard Cider, Moscato, being able to drink at social events…. SUSHI

Movement:  Lots and lots of soft kicks in my pelvis, occasionally I get a harder kick and sometimes they are on my sides and up near my ribs but most often they are down low.

Food cravings:  Still fruit and sweet things. It’s a freaking miracle that I’ve been avoiding sweets since getting sick – I know I feel about 60 times worse when I eat anything sugary when I’m sick so trying like heck to avoid it! I also try to not take any medicines while pregnant so I’m holding out hope that my cold continues to get better and I don’t break down and take something.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just smells.

Gender:  Girl!

Labor signs:  Nope

Symptoms: Round Ligament pain in my pelvis, swollen ankles if we walk around all day (at the zoo, pumpkin patch, etc), stuffy nose (even before my cold), still a bit of fatigue and occasional heartburn.

Belly Button in or out?  It’s getting real, guys. Barely hangin’ in there.

Wedding rings on or off?  On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!

Looking forward to:  Halloween!! We’re taking Andrew to an event at the Children’s museum with tons of fun activities and trick or treating. It’s going to be awesome!!

Our Weekend ♡

We had such a fun, full weekend!

Saturday we went to a USF football game and staff Tailgate which was fun. We didn't do a whole lot as we got there late but we did see some of the game- enough to see USF score two touchdowns and have an awesome play! Afterwards, we dropped Andrew off at Granny's and went home to relax and play video games and have glasses out on the tables and eat junk food and all that other stuff we try not to do when the little one is around haha

Sunday we went to the Straz Center because Jesse had purchased Broadway tour tickets through his work so we were able to see A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. It was soooo good!!!

Then Monday we finally got to the pumpkin Patch. It ended up being pretty warm and munchkin is definitely going into those terrible threes but we still had a lot of fun, picked out a nice big pumpkin and are still snacking on the huge bag of kettle corn we purchased. Yum!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! TTFN ♡

23 weeks - going SO FAST!

How far along?  23.5 weeks!

Total weight gain/loss: negative 1lb at my last appointment… will find out how much I’ve gained next week!

Maternity clothes?  Definitely- I don’t even attempt to wear non-maternity pants anymore. I have quite a few maternity tops as well so I *usually* wear those but some regular shirts are still working (so far)

Stretch Marks?  Haven’t noticed any new ones

Sleep:  Sleep is pretty good but still wake up every few hours to shift positions.

Best moment this week:  No news is good news and I never heard anything from the OB about my glucose test so yay! I still have to do a second one-hour test at around 32 weeks due to diabetes running in my family. BUT it’s still great to hear that everything is good so far! :)

Worst moments this week:  Pregnancy brain is definitely setting in, sigh. Haha!

Miss Anything?  Hard Cider, Moscato, being able to drink at social events…. SUSHI

Movement:  Lots of soft kicks, some that are a little rougher, definitely some rolling or dragging a knee or elbow or something along the side of my belly. The other night as I was trying to get comfortable in bed it felt as though she was alternating between kicking my intestines and bladder so that was interesting.

Food cravings:  Nothing super specific but dairy is definitely more appealing than pre-pregnancy… especially milk.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Smells

Have you started to show yet: Oh yes indeed!

Gender:  It’s a girl!

Labor signs:  Nope

Belly Button in or out?  It’s getting real, guys. Barely hangin’ in there.

Wedding rings on or off?  On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!

Looking forward to:  A super fun family weekend!
