24 Weeks BumpWatch!

How far along? 24 weeks, 2 days!  Since we were Up North for Memorial Weekend, I wasn't able to get my chalkboard/fruit comparison picture this week, but this is certainly a great background!

Weight gain/loss: I'm not going to weigh myself until my doctor's appointment on Wednesday.  Since there was ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, and apple fritters involved in this weekend's getaway, it's not going to be pretty.

Feeling: Umm...no swelling while we were Up North!!  Although, I had some during the work week from teaching. 

Maternity clothes? Loving my maternity bathing suit pictured above from Target.  I'm wearing an Old Navy cotton skirt with it since my legs aren't worthy of being shown.

Sleep: I had a rough weekend of sleep since I was sleeping in a different bed and forgot my body pillow at home.  Not to mention it's a difficult transition from a King to a Full with a big ol' belly, a 70 lb. pitbull, and a husband who hogs 80% of the space.

Food cravings: Watermelon.  We had some this weekend and it just hit the spot every time.  But, apparently Apple Fritters too, since I just had to buy some while we were out shopping over the weekend.

Movement? Starting to feel more on the sides and higher, although the low jabs are still there.  It's a miracle I haven't peed my pants yet since this little one seems to target my bladder.

What I miss? Beer.  Beer.  Beer.  Margarita's.  Wine.  All of it.  It sucked being sober this weekend.

Best moment this week: Great weekend with Sean Up North and a very special dinner where a Senior Honor's student chose to honor me and give a speech about how I've changed their life.  It's one of those rare moments in my career that make me appreciative of what I do.

What I'm looking forward to: Well, certainly not the glucose testing this week after a weekend of gorging.  So, I guess I'll just that I'm looking forward to school being out soon!!

Next Appointment: Wednesday, May 30th at 3:20pm with Dr. Weiermiller for my 1 hr. glucose screening.  Yay!

Milestones:  Compliments of babycenter.com, "Mr. Ear of Corn has gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long, 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.
