Week 24 update

How Far along? I'm so excited about hitting today's six-month milestone!! We only have four months to go :)

Size of the Baby? According to thebump.com, Claire is about the size of a grapefruit. Is it just me, or do some of these food comparisons seem to be moving in the opposite direction?

Maternity Clothes? I'm wearing nothing but maternity clothes these days. I'm definitely looking forward to warmer weather so I can start wearing dresses and flip-flops.

Gender? Sweet little baby girl :)

Movement? Lots! And, drum roll please... Trent finally felt Claire move over the weekend! It was such an exciting moment!!

Sleep? Sleeping continues to be a little more challenging with each passing day. I attribute this mainly to the fact that not only do I have a baby pressing on my bladder, but I also have a uterine fibroid applying pressure. I'm averaging three trips to the bathroom per night :(

Cravings? Thankfully, my Cadbury Creme Egg addiction has subsided somewhat.

Symptoms? I feel great! My belly is getting pretty big, and I've grown so accustomed to being pregnant, that it's hard to imagine that I'll actually have a waistline again.

What I miss? Of course, I still miss sleeping on my back.

Milestones? Trent felt Claire kick! That's the big one we've been waiting for :) We also attended our first baby class Saturday, which was pretty fun, although I think we're in the minority with that impression. What can I say, we've really enjoyed the entire pregnancy experience, crazy as it sounds.

Weight Gain? I'm right on track with a 24-week weight gain of 14 lbs.

What I’m excited about? We're so excited to start setting up Claire's room!

Your baby at 24 weeks (from thebump.com):
Baby's skin is becoming more opaque as the fat starts to pack on. And, thanks to the formation of small capillaries, her newly thick skin is taking on a fresh pink glow.
