Playing Catch Up

Okay, so life has been crazy messy (literally, my house has been a disaster/construction zone) for the last three weeks. But here are the last three bump shots:

 And now for the proper update...

How far along?  24 weeks

Total weight gain/measurements: 7 lbs. Still.

Maternity clothes: Yup. Everything in the above pictures is maternity!

Stretch marks: No new developments. I've been using BioOil, Palmer's Shea Oil, and Palmer's Cocoa Butter for Stretch marks. They seem to be doing their job.

Sleep: Getting worse. I only slept 3 hours last Thursday night, which made Friday HORRIBLE. Like go-home-in-the-middle-of-the-day and sleep-almost-all-of-Saturday horrible. And also, I can no longer roll over without much concerted effort.

Best moment this week: FINISHING THE BATHROOM! Absolutely the best...now I can pee in the middle of the night without climbing Mt. Everest.

So this only shows the installed toilet, but that's the important part here. It's actually all done!

Miss anything? Wine. I really wanted a glass of wine last week.

Movement: Yes, lots of movement. Specifically, lots of hiccups!

Food cravings: Chocolate. And fruit. All the fruit. And carrots. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Doing a-okay on this front!

Gender: We don't know, and we don't plan to find out!

Labor signs: Nope, none of those, although I had a bit of a weird moment last week. Maybe Braxton Hicks are starting?

Symptoms: LEAKING BOOBS! I almost for got that this happened. I had an existential crisis Thursday (EVERYTHING HAPPENED ON THURSDAY, MY TURNOVER DAY) as I was using the toilet. I realized that some day my puppy won't be with me anymore, and I sat on the toilet crying. And then, because the towels were all in the laundry, I wiped my eyes with my shirt. And then I cried some more, so I left my shirt up around my neck. And then I noticed that my left boob was wet, and I thought I had cried on myself, but I wiped it off and it was NOT a tear. So leaky boobs. That's new.

Belly button in or out? In, but so very very weird and shallow.

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy mostly...except for when I'm having bathroom crises and crying.

Looking forward to: Being able to roll over and get up by myself.
