How far along? 24 Weeks, 6 months if you count every 4 weeks as a month.
Baby’s size: about a foot long.
My total chunk-o-meter: Couldn’t tell you since my monthly OB appt has been moved, for the 5th time, and now it’s been 6 weeks since I’ve seen the Dr.
Stretch marks? I’m not showing at all, still, nothing to stretch yet….
Belly button status? Innie. Still
Counting sheep? Yeah, I’m so tired at night that I collapse into bed but when I wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning to pee I’m having a really hard time getting back to sleep. Some days it’s just easier to stay awake. And Derek has taken to waking up at 5:30 every morning for the last week so my little bit of sleep that I can manage after I pee just gets cut short.
Foods I can’t live without: Sweets. And hot sauce. Not together, I swear!
Foods I can’t stand: Milk. And bananas. Gross!
Best moment this month: My nightly reading where she just goes crazy kicking me. At some point Bishop is actually going to feel it but for now every time he puts a hand on my belly she goes quiet.
Worst moment this month: Feeling her doing summer-saults. For about 30 minutes the other day, while I was working, I swear she was sitting in me sideways. Uncomfortable to say the least.
Movement? Yeah. It’s not regular most of the time but a hard thump on my cervix here and there makes me pause.
Symptoms: None really. Again, if I didn’t know for sure I wouldn’t think I was pregnant.
Gender? GIRL!!!!
What do I miss? Doing all the things pregnant people can’t do.
What I’m looking forward to? A baby shower. I know you aren’t supposed to have one with your second but it’s a girl and I have nothing remotely girl-related at all.
Monthly Wisdom: I can’t put it off forever but it’s nice not to look pg so I don’t have to tell people about it yet.
Milestone: 24 weeks down, 16 weeks to go!!!
Emotions: Fine for the most part. Here and there I’ve been getting emotional but I’m pretty sure it’s more because of exhaustion than hormones.
