24 Weeks

Amelia's size as compared to an iPod Touch.
I just had to take a picture of a papaya yesterday afternoon at Publix!
How Far Along: 24 weeks and 5 days
Total weight gain: Guess what folks?? I was 2 lbs down at the doctor's office yesterday! What a shocker!
Maternity clothes: I'm wearing my maternity capris like crazy and maternity shirts on my days off work. If I leave the house, that is. Otherwise, it's just a t-shirt and shorts!
Sleep: It's actually been really good this past week. Hopefully that will continue.
Best Moment this week: Hearing my sweet girl's heartbeat at the doctor's office yesterday. The nurse found it right away and it was in the low 140's. That's definitely a sound I will never get tired of hearing.
Movement: She's a little gymnast in there! I was laying in bed the other night doing my kick counts (for those of you who don't know, you lie still so you can feel them move and see how long it takes you to feel 10 kicks). She did 6 in the first minute alone! It took probably a good 10 minutes to feel all 10, but she was definitely making her presence known!
Gender: Sweet baby girl!
Labor signs: None and I hope not to see any for a long time!
Belly button: Innie
Cravings: I was craving something really sweet yesterday, so I satisfied that craving with a black and white cookie from the Publix bakery. Yummo.
Nausea: Still throwing up during the brushing of teeth....in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Good times.
What I miss: Loving every minute of my life!
Stretch Marks: They're all there in their gross glory!
Weekly wisdom: Not so much wisdom, but everything was great at the doctor's office yesterday. He said everything looked perfect. What a relief to hear! Even though nothing has felt wrong, it's still nice to have it confirmed by the experts.
What I am looking forward to this week: Nothing really to look forward to for the next few days, but next week is the Eclipse premiere! And then a few days after that we're going to the beach!

In addition to getting a good report from the doctor, I got another bag of goodies with my Similac trimester gift, magazines, and samples. We also scheduled my follow-up ultrasound to check the heart and umbilical cord and my glucose tolerance test for my next visit.

I don't think I mentioned it in my last post, but we've chosen a pediatrician! Yay! We're going to use Dr. Minor Vernon in Macon.

We had a great time at my class reunion last weekend. I still can't believe it's been 10 years! It was great seeing some old faces and catching up.
