24 Weeks- 6 Months

I couldn't get my chalk to write on the board for some reason. Oh well. Doesn't look as cute but it gets the point across. 

Pregnancy Highlights: 

How Far Along: 24 weeks... 6 Months!! 

Total Weight Gain: Still not looking at my weight. 

Maternity Clothes:Anything with the least amount of fabric. It is HOT! This is my first time pregnant later in pregnancy through the summer and I can't get cooled off enough. I got 3 new pairs of shorts in hopes it will help. I don't like the shorts though but its the only thing I could find. Maternity clothes are lacking in stores. 

Best Moment of the Week:  Hitting the 6 month mark. 

Gender: Its a BOY!

What is going on with the Baby: He is gaining weight. His brain is developing quickly and taste buds are developing. And the lungs are continuing to develop. 

Baby is size of: Just over a pound and around 12 inches long about the size of an ear of corn. 

Movement: He has his moments or I should say days where he is very active. Most days he will move some throughout the day, then all the sudden he will have a night where he is up ALL night kicking, flipping, jumping etc. The result is me not sleeping much at all and then he seems to continue the movement throughout the next day. Then he will calm down and I will only feel movement occasionally throughout the day. 

Food Craving: I seem to like seafood a lot this pregnancy and it always sounds good or looks good to me. 

What I Miss: I miss not being so hot all the time. I sleep in a tank top, no covers and a fan beside my bed blowing on me all night and I still wake up sweaty. I also miss feeling normal. Right now I feel so tight, especially after eating. This worries me as I still have 3 months to go. 

What I am looking forward to: I am looking forward to being able to put the nursery together etc. 

Symptoms: I am still having occasional nausea or a day I dont feel good at all.
