Molly Grace is 24 Weeks!! We are over half-way to getting to meet her! I can't wait to see the little girl who is kicking me all day and night!
We got Molly Grace's bedding in last week - it's so stinkin' cute! I can't wait to see it all together. We are going to pick up all her furniture tomorrow. Her room is still set up as the guest room, so we have some cleaning out to do before we can set anything up - but we have plenty of time! I can't believe in 3 1/2 months she will be here!
How far along? 24 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: At my appt. 2 weeks ago, I had gained 7 lbs in 4 weeks! But my dr. said since I lost 15 in the beginning, that was fine! I'm still below my pre-preggo weight!
Maternity clothes? Sometimes. I still wear some of my regular stuff.
Stretch marks? Nope - and I've been checking! lol
Sleep: Much better the past couple nights. I've actually slept through until 4 am a couple times!
Best moment this week: Jamey got to feel her kick really hard! I think it surprised him how well he could feel her! I also have been having a few Braxton Hicks Contractions (I just learned yesterday that that's what I'm feeling!).
Movement: ALL the time! She moves and changes positions a lot. And she kicks all the time!
Food cravings: Dr. Pepper...I've been on a Mt. Dew kick, but this week I've wanted DP! And Banana Popsicles
Gender: Sweet baby girl!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? still in
What I miss: Nothing really! I'm enjoying it all!
What I am looking forward to: Getting her furniture tomorrow and going shopping in Branson!
Weekly Wisdom: I'm not very wise these days! FYI - Pregnancy Brain is so NOT a myth!
Baby's Development:
"Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon." -babycenter.com
