Bumpdate: 24 Weeks

Does it feel like the weeks are flying by? It totally does. Starting to get a little stressed about all that needs to happen before this baby comes.




How far along? 24 weeks and 3 days. Midwife says I am measuring right on track and still set for a due date of March 22nd.

Baby Fruit/Veggie Size: Long as an ear of corn, weighs just over a pound

Total weight gain: 14 pounds

Maternity clothes? Yes. So much yes. I am glad I am pregnant in the winter time...I am loving being able to layer.

Sleep: Generally pretty good. Was fighting a cold so had lots of coughing that was waking me up and I still have to get up at least once to pee.

Best moment this week: Thanksgiving feast! Nothing is better than eating a big Thanksgiving meal in very comfy stretchy maternity leggings.

Miss Anything? I miss not feeling big and clumsy. Went running at the gym and felt like a giant heavy whale.

Movement: This kiddo is constantly moving around...non stop. Kicks, jabs, rolls, hiccups etc.

Food cravings: Sandwiches.

Total Aversions: Nada

Gender: Its a surprise! I bounce back and forth on what I think it is. Right now I am thinking girl.

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: Just the usual...oh and vericose veins. Fun!

Belly Button in or out? In

Mood: Chipper! Its the holidays!

Looking forward to: Christmastime! Its our last Christmas with just Molly and a being a family of 3.



I still think I look a little bigger last time around. And my hair definitely looks better!

Bumpdate: 20 Weeks

Hello all! I am back with a bit of a bumpdate and some other fun info as to how things are going at 20 weeks along. Halfway there ya'll! So crazy.



How far along? 20 weeks

Baby Fruit/Veggie Size: Length of a banana, weighing in at 10 1/2 ounces
Total weight gain: 10 pounds

Maternity clothes? Absolutely! I busted out the maternity clothes around 17 weeks. I am living in my maternity leggings..they are so comfortable! I also got my maternity box out of the attic from last time and have worn some of that. Maternity clothes are so much more comfortable! I am also sporting Chase's t-shirts a lot too.

Sleep: I am sleeping really well currently. I have to use a pillow between my legs to be comfortable but if I have that then I am set. I do have to get up at least once to go pee which is kind of annoying.

Best moment this week: Starting to feel some real movement and not just flutters. Chase isn't quite able to feel them yet but soon enough.

Miss Anything? Wine! I am starting to really miss a nice glass of wine. I was so sick feeling in the first trimester that it didn't sound appealing at all but now I really would like to kick back on the couch with a glass of red.

Movement: Lots of flutters, popcorn popping feelings. I have felt a few rolling movements and a couple tiny kicks.

Food cravings: Apples, I am loving apples right now (and Halloween candy).

Total Aversions: Nothing has been off limits come the 2nd trimester.

Gender: No idea...won't know until he/she is born. Surprise!

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: Lots of lower back/hip pain which I had with M so it was expected. Luckily I live with a chiropractor. : )

Belly Button in or out? In

Mood: Generally happy but I can have my moments. ha!

Looking forward to: Seeing our baby at the sono appointment this week! Can't wait!




The picture on the left is my 20 week bump photo with M. I kind of thought I was bigger this time around but I actually look a tad smaller. Who knew!
