24 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 24 Weeks

Total weight gain:  23 lbs

Maternity clothes? Still haven’t bitten that bullet. I hope to just have to buy a couple t-shirts and survive on Lululemon (it really is the pregnant woman’s best friend. Those wunder-under tights are ah-ma-zing!)

Stretch marks? None yet

Sleep: Sleeping so good

Best moment this week: Getting to hear baby’s heartbeat again. It always amazes me!

Miss anything? After a particularly long day teaching grade 9’s and then a subsequent 3 hour Christmas food shop for when my company is here next week I was reeeeeaaaallly craving a glass of wine or a beer. It’s the first serious want I’ve had for one of those in a long time.

Movement: All the time now! You can see baby move from the outside which is so neat and I’m just so happy that my husband can be involved in this part of the pregnancy. How amazing for him to put his hands on my tummy and feel our little miracle kicking and punching away.

Food Cravings: One word: chocolate

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!

Have you started to show yet? I’m getting bigger and bigger and I’ve really embraced my pregnant body this week. My husband was so nice as to go out and buy me some pretty new bras and I have to say that these huge new knockers look great in them! Hah the perks of being pregnant…huge boobs.

Gender prediction: Definitely boy

Labor signs: None

Belly button in or out? It is on its way out.

Wedding rings on or off?  On

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy, happy, happy!

Looking forward to: My family is coming this weekend for Christmas and we couldn’t be more excited. There is something so special about having your parents and family around that just lifts your mood and spirits (especially around Christmas). I’m so excited to have my mom here to help me get baby stuff ready and do some shopping because we haven’t gotten to do a lot of that since I’ve been pregnant! My parents also have a new puppy and my puppies are very excited to have a new playmate here with them! I just love the holidays!!!

23 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 23 Weeks

Total weight gain:  Hmm I’ll find out next week at my doctor’s appointment. I don’t really want to know

Maternity clothes? Not yet but some t-shirts are creeping up there and I may have to succumb to some pregnancy clothes. I’m thinking of ordering some from the American Gap as they have some cute ones that are known to fit smaller. I would like to say that we have such a limited selection here in Canada. I don’t fit into a THING at Thyme Maternity, plus the quality is so cheap! It was just so annoying to find that even the xxs sizes at Thyme were waaaay too big across the shoulders and in the arms! So frustrating! And I really don’t want to spend $100 on a t-shirt from some of the boutique style shops that do have nice, quality things. And yes, I know I’m picky but I have to like it!

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Sleeping great still.

Best moment this week: Feeling some really hard kicks in there! I love just laying back and feeling my tummy jump!

Miss anything? No but I know I’ll miss Bailey’s and coffee on Christmas morning.

Movement: Yes! So much of it!

Food Cravings: Spicy food. So yummy. The heartburn sucks though hah.

Anything making you queasy or sick? No, thank goodness! I’m feeling so good I feel so lucky.

Have you started to show yet? I really should take this question off of here. But yes, I am.

Gender prediction: Boy, boy, boy!!

Labor signs: Nope

Belly button in or out? In between.

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: Hearing baby’s heartbeat at our next doctor’s appointment!

22 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 22 Weeks

Total weight gain:  17 pounds

Maternity clothes? No but I’m thinking that I’ll eventually have to get some t-shirts. I did have to go up a size in bras though (did NOT buy ugly maternity bras fyi) and will probably have to go up a size again.

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: I seriously have the smallest bladder ever so I get up about 3 times every night to use the washroom. Other than that though I am sleeping great.

Best moment this week: Feeling stronger kicks and punches in there!

Miss anything? Actually no. We went to both my husband and my Christmas parties this weekend and while everyone was drunk (and feeling yucky the next day) I was sober and felt great the next day. Good enough to almost finish my Christmas shopping!!

Movement: It’s getting stronger day by day

Food Cravings: None this week

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!

Have you started to show yet? Um ya.

Gender prediction: I have a really good feeling still that it’s a boy. However; having said that it will probably be a girl.

Labor signs: no

Belly button in or out? Halfway

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: I’m looking forward to our nursery furniture showing up this month! We picked out the most gorgeous set and I cannot wait to set it up in the nursery and start decorating!!
