How far along: Exactly 24 weeks today
Total weight gain/loss: After doing the conversion from pounds to kilograms, it looks like I didn't gain any weight this past week! I don't know how that's possible (especially when I see my ever-growing belly), but I'll accept it!
Maternity clothes: Found a good deal on my first 2 pairs of maternity pants. Wore them yesterday and today. Ahh...the comfort!
Stretch marks: Nope
Sleep: Pretty good in general. I've been waking up early every day since I've been in the US, but I'm sure it's just the normal jet lag.
Best moment in the last week: Too many to choose from!!!
Movement: Maybe it's because I've been more relaxed, but I've been more aware of movement all week. Baby even kicked for Aunt Nicole 4 times (as if on demand) on Monday. The movement has tended to be on my right side & sometimes quite visible from the outside, but I think baby turned about 2 days ago. The movement hasn't been quite so obvious the past few days and when I do feel something, baby seems to be kicking really low. I don't know what baby is hitting and it's not painful, but it's a weird feeling.
Gender: Survey currently still says boy.
Food Cravings: Still drinking lots of milk and enjoying sweets.
Belly Button in or out: Still in
What I miss: Guenni
What I am looking forward to: Getting to meet up with people I haven't seen in a while and doing some more shopping once the roads get cleared from all of the snow.
Weekly Wisdom: As I mentioned in my last post, when traveling for a longer period of time, make sure that you pack enough snacks!
Milestones: I wore my first pair of maternity pants yesterday
Baby Brain Moment of the Week: Again, more of an emotional thing. I cried during a movie on the airplane. Even though I didn't think I was going to, the tears just started rolling and wouldn't stop. I also discovered that I probably shouldn't watch "A baby story". I was getting teary-eyed watching other babies being born! :) Strangely, I also had tears in my eyes during take-off on both flights so far.
Belly-button ring Status: Out
Labor Signs: Hopefully not until the end of May or so!
Weekly Belly Pic: Getting bigger on a weekly basis!

ReplyDeleteCarrying kind of low there, Michelle. Will have to wait until I see you in person before I give my gender guess. Hopefully on Friday I will come over. There are a few things here for Baby Hoffman.
