Pregnancy Update Survey

How far along? 24 weeks tomorrow

Total Weight Gain:  About 6 pounds. From 118 to 124, probably 125 after I just ate that double veggie burger 🙂

Maternity Clothes? mostly I wear "regular" clothes that happen to be cut in such a way that a belly fits in. Longer shirts work, empire waist. Stretchy material. I actually only have 1 or 2 maternity shirts. I have been wearing cotton skirts and shorts lately, not maternity.

Stretch marks? No, not yet. Didn’t have them with my first either. Praise god!

Sleep: Decent overall, for sure. Some nights if something wakes me, I have a hard time getting back to sleep. I fall asleep ok. I get up to pee about 3 times but usually I can go back down. If I eat too late at night, that’s another story. Stomach aches will keep me awake.

Best moment this week: Well….things with my daughter have been the best. Nothing eventual happened with this baby this week. Saw the midwife. I guess that counts, because she said I was textbook perfect at this point.

Miss Anything? I miss not getting stomach aches after eating things, or being uncomfortable after eating. Sometimes I’m not but a lot of the time, feeling full feels awful.

Movement: TONS. yes.

Food cravings: nothing in particular. Im thirsty as hell. Sometimes I have a sweet tooth, at least once a day. I don’t usually get the chance to give in to it though, depending on what we have around or where I am. I’m trying to eat fruit for sweets. I did have coconut milk ice cream today that was the bomb. I wish I had access to more vegan chocolate deserts and i’d be KILLING THEM! 🙂

Anything making you queasy or sick: At this point, eating too much and getting too full makes me feel sick. But nothing makes me queasy. I have to drink water at some point during the morning or it ruins my afternoon…easily dehydrated.

Gender: its a girl! My sweet Isla Joy. I love her already and so does my Lucy 🙂

Labor Signs: no, thank goodness. Its too early! I did think something was terribly wrong a couple nights ago. But it was OK.

Symptoms: uhh…how about a big ole belly?

Belly Button in our out: In…stayed in the whole time last pregnancy too.

Wedding rings on or off: On

Happy or Moody most of the time:  actually moody. Cant say i’m happy all day.

Looking forward to:  our vacation which starts tomorrow. Im nervous though too….12 hours in the car with a 2 year old, and having her sleep at a new place….praying she sleeps ok. that’s my main concern. If she does that, I will be 100% relaxed and happy no matter what else happens!
