23 & 24 weeks


Some of the pregnancy apps had 23 & 24 week baby size confusing. Some said grape fruit and some said corn.

I did corn again this week b/c the apps said corn or cantaloupe, and I didn't want to buy cantaloupe with the Listeria problems. Hopefully the apps weren't be so confusing in the future. :)
I'm 24 weeks!

 

Pregnancy Highlights:

Due Date: October 18, 2013

How Far Along: 24 Weeks

Size of baby: Baby O is as big as an ear of corn!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 11.5 lbs

Maternity Clothes: Most maternity bottoms but some tops.  

Gender: GIRL!

 Anniston Joy O'Neal

Movement: I LOVE feeling her move. She moves a lot at night and early in the morning...mostly when I’m relaxing.

Sleep: Sleeping well!

What I miss: Umm...I'm enjoying everything right now! :)

Cravings: My cravings have subsided greatly. My cravings still taste good, but I don’t have a strong urge for anything.

Symptoms: Still feeling good! I feel so blessed b/c many pregnant women are suffering with this Louisiana heat, but I don’t even feel pregnant...except for my growing belly. Both my doctors keep telling me how lucky I am to feel great (no constant back pain, headaches, or swelling). I’m sure the uncomfortable part is coming -> 3rd Trimester.

Emotions: Blessed! At my ultrasound with my specialist, we learned that baby girl is a week ahead of schedule. I was 23 ½ weeks, and she was measuring 24 ½ weeks! She weighs 1lb 8oz. I am so grateful that she is growing well because women with my blood clotting disorder often struggle with their babies growing slower. I feel as if Anniston said “Mommy, those shots are working,” when we heard that she was growing ahead of schedule! :)

 

Looking forward to: The nursery chandelier came in so I’m looking forward to J putting it up!

  1. I can't wait to see the chandelier! Alice LOVES hers -- of course, she loves all lights, too, haha!! You are so gorgeous! Enjoy the pregnancy, even the 3rd trimester. I didn't think it was so bad, either. =)
