Sorry that I missed last week loves. I don't have a good reason for writing a post other than I got lazy and didn't feel like taking a picture, haha. But we're back at 24 weeks and feeling great! I don't feel like I look that great though, but, meh...
Anywho, Baby B is the size of an ear of corn! I can't believe it. According to all my apps Ovuline, What To Expect and Baby Center, Baby B is starting to develop surfactant in his/her lungs to help them breathe on the outside. Pretty much everything is developed except the lungs. It's important for Baby B to stay inside this pretty little belly until as close to Oct 18 as possible so that a huge amount of medical care won't be needed upon arrival.
Speaking of pretty little belly, I feel like the inside may not look so pretty, haha. Baby B moves around A LOT. It went from no movement, to little rolls, to all out punches and kicks...it also just went from in the evening to all day now. It's really amazing, but sometimes, I'm trying to focus and then the movement comes and I can't help but smile. I think I even felt some hiccups :)
We went to the doctor on Monday and everything is going as it should and I'm measuring where I should be at 24 weeks. I'm at 120 pounds now, the heaviest that I have been in my life. I'm also starting to notice that my arms are starting to accumulate some extra cushion...if you know what I mean. AJ says my butt is getting bigger and of course my boobs.
What else, oh, I started my registry and I think I'm almost done. I did most of it online, but Sunday, my wonderful mother and I went out and looked at some things in person to help make some final decisions. I have a registry at BuyBuyBaby and MyRegistry.com (universal registry). Shopping for a baby is so overwhelming, especially when you are #TeamGreen. There are so many cute things, but you don't want to get something that's too boyish or girly. So I've been sticking to mostly gray with a couple green and yellow things.
A high this week (and last) is that AJ is able to feel the baby kick. He gets so excited that I find that when we are just laying around watching Netflix, he places his hand on my belly without me pointing anything out. A low this week is developing heartburn. I had a mild case before pregnancy, but this has become daily. It's not a big deal, it's just annoying.
I know that I said I'd be consistent with my outfit, but I just got home from work and I didn't feel like changing clothes yet, haha...another moment of laziness! :)
Question: When did you have your baby shower?? Was it early or close to your due date?
Here is my survey for the week:
What Fruit/Veggie are you? Ear of Corn
