Baby girl is constantly kicking and nudging and boxing my entire mid section. I've recently noticed that I'm starting to feel her up close to my ribs one day and way way way DOWN LOW almost kicking her foot out! She likes to remind me that this apparently is her space and I'm in the way. She is non stop go go go. Grayson was pretty pushy but I definitely don't remember him being this way. She must have quite the personality. OH BOY! (oh girl!) I am still weighing about the same thank goodness. I wake up in the mornings with a headache and exhausted from a rough nights sleep. This little girl thinks she can kick me and bump me while I'm sleeping as if she's saying ROLL OVER MOM! I roll over and she keeps at it. Sheesh! She doesn't seem to rest. OH BOY! (oh girl!)
Today I accomplished quite a bit just in the morning. I finally got some laundry in and started (which I now need to go change out) I unpacked our bags from the weekend, made our bed, put coats away (we need a coat hanger!) got myself ready, ate some breakfast, did the dishes, vacuumed fed kiddos lunch, put the kiddos down for naps (ALL napping at the same time) grabbed myself a brownie, showed my mother in law how to work my awesome pump so my aunt could use it for a few weeks for little Miss Charlie who is still in the hospital, took some pics of myself, and am here relaxing with my huge bottle of water updating my blog. BUSY BUSY MORNING! Sometimes it's good that way so I don't feel lazy. Now I can happily have my hubby come home and he will be happy.
PICTURES!!!
excuse the annoying flash and the weird wet spot by my hand. haahha bad first picture
Full Length side Belly Shot
Full Length Frontal belly shot (still kind of hiding)
a better side shot...people are definitely noticing. (a mom I babysat for as a backup this week....the first thing she did when she walked in my door was check out my belly GREAT!)
The Other side...Sorry for all the similar pictures but I want pictures to compare myself to next time around.
Week 24: Grapefruit
Average size: 10.5 inches ***, 12.7 oz.
Nipples are sprouting, and face is fully formed!
- Her see-through skin is gradually becoming more opaque.
- And it's got a new pink glow, thanks to the small capillaries that have recently formed.
- Swollen ankles and feet. Be sure to elevate them while you're sitting. (haven't had yet)
- Leg cramps, which can be sign of dehydration. (funny thing is it's not my legs but my feet do every once in a while)
- Back aches -- yup, still! (definitely having this!)
- Linea nigra. That's the dark line that runs up the center of your belly. It will fade after baby's born. (not noticing a dark line but my veins are very noticeable)
- Stretch marks, which may continue to appear as your skin stretches even more. (not yet!! hopefully I won't get any!)
