How far along: Today I'm 24w6d! This post covers weeks 22-24 since I'm a horribly blogger. At 22 weeks baby was as big as a Papaya. At 23 weeks he was a grapefruit and 24 weeks a cantaloupe! Growing like a weed!
Physical symptoms: Feeling so good these days. No gagging in the morning, no food aversions. Some days (especially weeks 22 and 23) I barely feel pregnant! Over the last week or so I can really tell I'm getting bigger. I have a hard time judging how I can fit into small spaces lol! I got more tired than I expected when we were getting new carpet. But overall, feeling great!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I was up 3 pounds between my 20w and 24w appointments. This puts me down 2 from my first OB appointment.
Maternity clothes: Dresses! OMG I may never go back!
Sleep: Sleep has been ok. Wake up in the night and sometimes have a really hard time going back to sleep. This was normal pre-pregnancy, though! My hips hurt from sleeping on my sides only.
Best moment last week: There have been so many good moments over the last few weeks. I passed viability day (24w)!!! I had my 24 week OB appointment on 1/14/14. My blood pressure is still normal and HR was normal on the doppler. Next Tuesday I have my glucose test. I could not ask for an easier pregnancy health wise! Baby's movement has really picked up over the last week. Yesterday I SAW my stomach move. Alien baby in there! He really likes to hang out on my bladder. Thanks little dude. We also got new carpet, with really means the nursery can be put together. Oh and we painted! Today, I got the invitation for my first shower. It is adorable. I'm so blessed to have such great friends and family! Lots of stuff going on!

Movement: Movement has continued to pick up over the last week. During weeks 22 and 23 I was worried it was slowing down. I know it wasn't a legit worry, but still there. I have an anterior placenta, so movement can be really inconsistent for awhile. But starting with week 24 he is really going to town. I saw my stomach move yesterday!
Cravings: Fruit, milk, juice. Yummmmmm. Oh and pop tarts!
Gender: IT'S A BOY!!!!
Labor signs: Um, I would hope none!
Belly button: Normal
What I miss: Nothing really right now. Is that weird? Just feeling so good. It's nice :)
What I am looking forward to: Shower on March 1!
Milestones:So many...feeling more movement, saw movement, got baby shower invite, pass viability day, starting to really put the nursery together.
