24 weeks!!



 
How far along? 24 weeks 3 days!
Total weight gain/loss: 15 lbs! steadily 1 lb a week :-/
Maternity clothes? all maternity pants, about half non maternity shirts altho i think i wear the same 5 non maternity shirts and i only have about 5 maternity shirts... so it feels like i'm just wearing the same things over and over!
Symptoms:  more aches and pains! the worst are the charlie horses at night! sometimes both legs, sometimes one. my calves are so sore! thankfully last night was okay. trying to stretch it out more. also have stabbing pains on my left side. i think its just round ligament pain and it just comes and goes, but its not fun. i'm also starting to need to put more effort into getting up from a chair or walking around. i probably should start exercising! :-/ or at least walking more.. but the heat wave is making me lazy.
Sleep:  pretty good. altho i have been staying up late for various reasons the last couple nights. and my sides are sore when i wake up since i don't think i move very much. may look into a pillow soon.
Best moment this week: hanging out with some college friends this weekend! one of them even bought me a prenatal massage! love them! oh yah, and the 2 bobas i had this weekend. san jose has the best food and boba is everywhere! also reached the 24 week mark! altho i want the baby to keep cooking for a good 13+ weeks, its still nice to know that the baby is big enough that they may survive if anything happens!
Movement: still the same. i feel something everyday. but sometimes its only a couple movements. sometimes its alot more. i notice that if i put my hand on my stomach i can feel kicks or punches that i can't feel internally! baby must be kicking the placenta.
Cravings: nothing big, just the usual like beef noodle soup, cheeseburger, boba, shaved ice
Anything making you queasy or sick: nothing new this week.
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Innie 
What I miss: drinking unlimited coffee, fitting through tight spaces, having more clothes to fit into
What I am looking forward to: feeling the baby kick more, may start picking up the nursery decor again (took a hiatus as we didn't know if my parents would live with us temporarily since their selling their old house and buying new). but from the looks of it, it may be awhile for them. may start ramping up the baby prep, 16 weeks is gonna fly by!
