24 Weeks!


How big is Baby? A little over a pound and about a foot long.
Total weight gain/loss: I was 109.5 lbs on my OB Visit last Tuesday
Maternity clothes? What I wear most, especially in pants. I can still get away with some non-maternity tops if they are long and stretchy, like the three tops I picked up at Kolhs last weekend.
Stretch marks? None so far, I apply my cocoa butter lotion every morning. I didn't get any with Ethan so I am hoping this pregnancy treats me as well.
Sleep: I want to sleep on my back so bad but I know I shouldn't because it causes bad circulation. I can fall asleep pretty quick but sometimes wake up with the worst heartburn. Waking up at least once around 2 or 3 in the morning to use the bathroom is the norm.
Best moment this week: Having Ethan say "Hannah" and I reply "Yes, in mommy's tummy" and he smiled back like we were sharing a secret and said "Baby".
Movement: Getting strong everyday. I first felt little kicks around 16 weeks, now the kicks are so strong I can sit and watch my belly poke out where she is kicking.
Food cravings: DQ hot fudge sundaes, sweets, almost anything other than meats and pizza.
Gender: It's A GIRL, we found out at twenty weeks and two days. Her name is Hannah Grace Link
Labor Signs: Hope not for three more month! Every now and then a little pain in my lower belly, not sure if it's Braxton Hicks or ligaments stretching.
Belly Button in or out? Sadly already a full fledged outtie.
What I am looking forward to: Reaching the age of viability, getting to a least 30 weeks will put my mind at ease.
Milestones: We ordered the crib bedding. It's light pink, chocolate brown and lime green with zebra print. It has Hannah's name and monogram embroidered on it!
