I'm exhausted. I've never said this before but, I'm tired of summer. I'm hot, I can't get comfortable and I'm exhausted. I'm looking forward to fall and cooler weather. I miss cooking things that aren't in the crock pot. In any case, I think we have another month of heat.
Silas has had a little virus and rash this week, so we haven't been able to get to any play dates or the gym because I don't want to be infecting anyone. I could tell something was wrong because he wasn't eating well. The day we were supposed to go to the gym and meet some friends at the library I noticed a bit of a rash on his feet and ankles, so we went to the pediatrician instead and she confirmed it. So we've been stuck at home this week.
Enough whining! Onward to the 24 week update!
How far along? 24 weeks.
Size of Baby: Baby Eggplant, 12 inches long and about one and a third pounds.
Gender: Still a BOY!
Weight Gain: Right about 10 pounds, but I haven't gotten on the scale since my last appointment.
Maternity Clothes: Oh yes.
Nursery: I finally decided a couple days ago that baby boy number 2 will go into a room upstairs. For the first few months I will have him sleeping in the co-sleeper next to me, most likely upstairs, so we can wake up and do our thing with out bothering the rest of the house. Silas might do like other kids and start breaking out of his crib and then moving to a toddler bed, so I'd rather him be on the main floor when he does that and not upstairs by himself with a flight of stairs to contend with.
Movement: Yes, a lot now. I can even feel him moving when I am and see movement through my belly.
Symptoms: Heartburn forever! I'm emotional, frequently crabby and occasionally weepy.
Cravings: I had a craving for Pop-Tarts this week and indulged it with some from the health food store. They aren't healthy by any means, but they were tasty, satisfying, and marginally better than the real thing. They're all gone now. Right now I'm wanting a burger and my husband is going to get me one. Bless him.
What I miss: Had a real hard time buckling my sandal this week. It feels a little too early for that but here we are.
Looking forward to: Getting back to the gym soon!
This week I'm hoping to post a product review, not because anyone asked me to, just because I can. So look out for that this week! OK! I think I heard my burger just pull into my drive, I mean, my husband... So I'm off!
Did you have pregnancy cravings that you would like to share in the comments? Please do! I find that stuff fascinating.
In the beginning I craved sandwiches soaked in vinegar. Then after a few months all I wanted was watermelon and the last month allllll I ate were chocolate poptarts and chocolate milk. I was healthy up until the end then I just caved and consumed.
ReplyDeleteI love a pickle and potato chip sandwich. So much salt and delicious.

ReplyDeleteMeredith- I chewed ice cubes constantly and craved Dairy Queen Ice cream
Charisse- Brachs Malt Balls and we had the greatest neighbor couple - she would call and say "Sandy we are going to the store do you need anything ?" Yes, yes I do. Please get me malt balls. She soon just would call and say" Sandy do you need a bag of malt balls" Short time later, " Sandy we went to the store and picked you up a bag of malt balls"." Gee, Melinda you and Dan are the greatest neighbors". Thanks!
Alanna- The smell of gas fumes when filling my car up. I would fight John to put the gas in.
Hahaha! Love it Mom!
DeleteLOL @ still a boy! I craved Chinese food a lot this time round but with Haley I literally ate 6 bags of Beef Monster Munch (British Potato Chips) a day, I'm not proud of this.
ReplyDeletePop tarts or not I have no doubt you look amazing! x
Those potato chips sounds amazing! I'm checking them out on google and I think we should take a quick trip over to get some!
