So I know y’all are sick of this dress, but I was going to a friend’s baby shower & NCSU was playing in the ACC tourney & it’s so comfy {although getting tighter in the middle}. It’s also fun to look back to see the belly growth since I wore it last {at 20 wks}.
How far along? 24w2d
Maternity clothes? Yes! All maternity all the time {except for the few longer tops I’ve been able to make work still}.
Weight Gain? Was up 25 lbs as of a couple weeks ago & I haven’t weighed myself since.
Stretch Marks? none yet.
Sleep? Pretty good. I’m getting better at sleeping on my sides.
Movement? Oh yes. Although I can’t always tell from who unless I’m being punched low. I feel them more in the afternoon & evening but husband hasn’t been able to feel them from outside yet.
Genders? A is a boy & C is a girl & we have decided on names {but holding out on posting them until it’s for sure}.
What I Miss? Baby B always. Wearing heels. At a work conference today & I miss heels but am thankful for target’s inexpensive cute flats.
Food cravings? Fruit, yogurt/ice cream, French fries.
Food aversion? I ate at Mexican restaurants twice this past week! I think I’m over that aversion!! But sadly, my all time favorite food, pizza, now gives me heartburn. So I weigh the yumminess vs tums popping factor before eating. Sometimes pizza wins still though.
Labor signs? None, thankfully.
Belly button in or out? In for sure. I try to mask the crater my layering tanks under outfits.
What I’m Looking Forward to? Finishing cleaning out the remaining “office” items from the room & turning it into the nursery!
Weekly Wisdom? Not feeling super wisdom giving this morning after staying up til 2 last night. So maybe its do what you feel like & take advantage of feeling good by having {sober} fun with work friends!
Milestones? Twenty four weeks! My first starred milestone of viability. It’s been highlighted on my calendar from the beginning. It’s a milestone date I’ve been praying for. Do I want the babies to come now? Hell no, but I’m happy knowing that if they did, they’d have a chance. But L & Z, stay in for another 12 weeks, k?!

L & Z, hmmmmm? 😉
I feel you on the heartburn. I found that if I eat things at dinner they’re more likely to cause me trouble (mostly due to laying down to sleep), so if I want something that will cause heartburn, I try to have it at lunchtime.
That’s a great call! I’ll have to remember that since so far, breakfast & lunch meals don’t usually cause reflux issues.
Congratulations on reaching V-day! Now stay put a lot longer, babies 🙂
Thanks Molly!
Congrats on making it to 24 weeks, almost to 3rd trimester!!! Can’t wait to hear the names you’ve picked out 🙂
Like with everything else, I don’t believe their names will stay secret for much longer. I suck at secrets! 🙂
L and Z, L and Z….
Dangit Suz, I’m going to be thinking about it all day now.
Happy 24 weeks! This is a big moment and I’m so happy for you. <3 Glad we get to share this journey together.
🙂
Yay!! So you decided to stick with L & Z. I’m pretty sure Z is what you were leaning towards when we had lunch!
You’re right. We didn’t switch them up from our lunch date. Just finalized them & came up wtih a boy’s middle name.
Let’s try to do lunch again soon!
