*~^**24 WEEKS**^~*

How far along are you: 24 weeks!! Yahoo for viability day! :) 
Size of baby: a corn-on-the-cob! 
Movement: Lots of movement. This little guy has wild moments. He goes in spurts, but once he starts, he doesn't stop. I'd really like to see what he's doing in there during a conniption!
Symptoms: I had pretty brutal heartburn last week. But thankfully, it's gone now. No other symptoms really.
Total weight gain: 12 lbs.
Sleep: Sleep is going okay. I have a hard time falling asleep, but once I'm there I'm gold.
Food aversions: Nothing.
Cravings: I've been wanting a tuna macaroni salad sooooo bad. I want someone to make it for me too, so I'm still waiting. I also want McDonalds. I'll settle for anything salty. ;)
Emotions: Oh man, emotions have been wild. I'm of course happy. Buuuuut oh boy. I cry at the drop of a hat. If I hear of anything sad. I instantly cry...sometimes full out BAWL. This is the girl who didn't cry when she got engaged, said her vows, found out she was pregnant, saw her baby on the ultrasound for the first time...yep.
What do you miss: Real sushi, drinking all the caffeine in the world before 7am, cold cut sandwiches not heated....oh man, I can't WAIT for those things!!
Maternity clothes: Of course.
Wedding rings on or off: On.
Boy or girl: "beautiful, beautiful, beautiful...beautiful boyyyy".
Next appt: July 30. Finally will get the results of the 20 week ultrasound we had in June! Nervous and excited for an update on my little guy.
Best moment(s) this past week: Watching Big Brother. Love that show. And getting my invitation to my work shower! :D
What are you looking forward to this week: The weekend like usual. My midwife appt on Tuesday and my birthday on Wednesday!!

*~^**22 & 23 WEEKS**^~*

So, this post is a combined post. I promise (well, I'll try to promise) never to do this again. It's been a crazy busy couple of weeks and I honestly haven't been on the computer much. Can you believe that???

22 weeks & 23 weeks

How far along are you: 23 weeks! One more week until viability!! WOOHOO!!
Size of baby: a grapefruit...although I feel like he's bigger than that.
Movement: During the day, I get little flutters here and there. But at night when I'm laying down, he goes wild. He does huge turns and flips and I can see my whole tummy go lopsided, and he kicks up a storm! If I push on a part of my tummy, he'll kick that area. He follows my pokes...so cute! :D Laying in bed with Dave and watching him kick and talking to him is honestly the best part of the day!
Symptoms: Wicked, wicked heartburn the last couple of days. Like an idiot, I had a jalapeno bagel on Monday, and ever since then it's like I opened the portal to heartburn of death. Luckily milk before bed allows me to sleep...Dave's getting me TUMS tonight. I'll be popping those biotches like candy!
Total weight gain: 9-10lbs.
Sleep: I wake up in the middle of the night wide awake...what that's about, I don't know?
Food aversions: Nothing! Love food.
Cravings: Nothing in particular!
Emotions: Happy and excited. Lately I've been over emotional at how lucky we are to have this little guy coming. What did we do to deserve this?! :D
What do you miss: Real sushi, cold cuts that are cold, lots of coffee...
Maternity clothes: Yepper!
Wedding rings on or off: On.
Boy or girl: Little man.
Next appt: July 30.
Best moment(s) this past week: The weekend...lol.
What are you looking forward to this week: Spending the day looking at nursery stuff, then going to the in-laws with my parents for a BBQ.

*~^**21 WEEKS**^~*

 

**Celine Dion/Vegas Edition!**

How far along are you: 21 weeks! 
Size of baby: a carrot! 
Movement: I *think* so. Like I've said for weeks now, I feel quite a bit of fluttering, but I'm still hesistant to say with GREAT certainty, "yeah it's DEFINITELY baby". I've also started feeling this other weird thing that feels like there's a small bowling ball rolling in there. It's slow, pressure, and it feels kind of hard. I'm wondering if this is the little guy rolling over or making a complete position change?
Symptoms: No symptoms besides some wicked pulls, pinches and stabs that I'm hoping/assuming are round ligament pains.
Total weight gain: 10lbs! Little guy had a growth spurt!! (and so did mama)
Sleep: It's okay.
Food aversions: Still no aversions really.
Cravings: Nothing really.
Emotions: Happy!
What do you miss: Real sushi & not worrying about listeria.
Maternity clothes: Yes.
Wedding rings on or off: On.
Boy or girl: Boy!
Next appt: July 30th midwife appt.
Best moment(s) this past week: My mom and I went to see Celine Dion in Vegas. It was always our dream to see her. I've loved her since I was a little girl. I used to pretend my aunt's next door neighbour was Celine and I'd get all intimidated by her lol (I was 5 years old okay?!) Other than that, I know every song, on every CD and I've read every biography. Anyway, we ended up with first row seats (which is a dream come true in itself) and then during one of Celine's first songs she came over and stood infront of my mom and I and looked right at us while she sang. My mom started bawling and I realized I wasn't breathing, my heart was pounding and I had the biggest goofy smile on my face. It was a dream come true. That was definitely the best moment of the week!
What are you looking forward to this week: Going with my hubby today to finish off the registry and start the nursery!!
