Week Twenty-Four

Week Twenty-Four

Due Date: November 27, 2012

How Big is Baby: He/she is the length of an ear of corn.

Total weight gain:  +15 pounds

Morning Sickness: None! And the random bits of nauseousness is slowly subsiding!

Cravings: Anything sweet and Wheat Thins

Sleep: Good and bad, depending on the night!

I can't live without: Water, maternity clothes

I miss: Sleeping on my belly! Comfortably bending over while sitting - this belly is starting to get in the way!

I am looking forward to: Continuing to grow and for a few fun happenings in our lives ~ will share in time! :

Milestones: According to babycenter.com, baby's brain and taste buds are growing.  His/her lungs are developing "branches" as well.  At our 24 week appointment, baby had a nice, strong heart beat of 145 beats/minute!

Movement: Moving at different times of the day and they are getting stronger!  Mike finally got to feel the baby kick!!  We were laying bed on Sunday and the baby was moving so I grabbed his hand.  Every kick I'd look at him, but he wasn't feeling them yet.  Then there were two little thumps that he felt but ended up convincing himself that it was my pulse or his (???) A few seconds later, baby gave two strong kicks and Mike said, "OH!! What was that?!?!"  Baby!!  

At our 24 week doctor's appointment, my dr. went to listen to the heartbeat and as soon as she put the monitor on my belly, baby kicked it!  Baby was kicking away as she was getting a heart rate ~ she even had to move over some because of all the movement!

Gender: Still thinking a boy, but we'll be surprised!

Labor Signs: It’s far too soon for this!
