Week #24

How far along? 24 weeks, again, still behind! So sorry and I cannot recall if I have a picture for this week or not, but I can say, the bump is a whole hell of a lot bigger!!!

Total weight gain: 127lbs. so that is +8 in all. 8lbs. in 6 months. That is not bad!

Maternity clothes? Needing the maternity shirts desperately now, although, I can fit into my shirts still, I just look like I am wearing a "baby tee" and it's not very cute.

Stretch marks? Lather. Lather some more. Repeat!!!

Sleep: Nope.

Best moment this week: Well, it is good and sad at the same time. I have made the decision to leave my current job with the pool, which I am very, very sad to do... I have been there for 6.5 years and met the love of my life there, Jordan Kyle Covington, and my best friend, Rebekah Jane Strong!. I have made such a wonderful family that I can count on. My real family works there as well, Rico (my uncle) and Sean (my sister). HSC has been such a major part of my life and I have been with them whether working or swimming for them for 19.5 years. OMG. I just realized that. I swam for Tammy for 13 years and then worked for her for 6.5. Holy shit! (sorry) I am concerned that this may be stressful for me, you know how people say not to move when you are pregnant. What about switching jobs? ..... I guess we will find out.

Miss Anything? I honestly miss sleep the most, and unfortunately, I will never get it back. :(

Movement: I know this sounds crazy, but maybe all you Moms out there can relate. I swear Max knows my touch from someone else's. I know he knows my voice, but sometimes I want him to kick for another person and so I put their hands on my bump and he does nothing, but then I will put my hands on him and he kicks up a storm. Do you think I am losing it? This is not a trick question.... ok maybe it is, answer wisely!

Food cravings: I love waffles, I love waffles, I love waffles, and candy, and donuts, and ... you get the picture. My Gestational diabetes test is on Tuesday.... I won't love that stuff until after!

Anything making you queasy or sick: as of lately.. nothing, but then again I am not trying to be a dare devil and try what has hurt me in the past.

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: Nope!

Symptoms: Recently.. I feel stretched, stretched to the max. Ugh and I still have a ways to go.

Belly Button in or out? its. about. to. poke. OUT!

Rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: Our anniversary, February 1!!!
