Baby Bird - 24 Weeks

So I think I'm officially nesting... For the past few days/nights I've been obsessively cleaning and organizing everything I can.  I've been getting the do-you-realize-it's-9-pm-and-you're-scrubbing-the-bathroom-baseboards look from the hubby, who happily took out the garbage and didn't say a word when he saw me dusting and polishing any wood furniture I could get my hands on before bed.  I guess it's a good thing...although is it bad to continue to vacuum rugs until perfect carpet lines are achieved?  Ahh, the little things in life make me happy.  Carpet lines are one of them.  On to this week's picture.  I'm not sure stripes were a good idea, as I'm feeling large and in charge lately.

How far along? 24 Weeks

Total weight gain: Around 14 lbs...yowzaaa

Maternity clothes? Yes because they are much more comfortable than squeezing into my old jeans with a hair tie.  Super excited about my new maternity winter coat...fits so much nicer than my regular sized one

Stretch marks? Still none yet…still using Palmer's Cocoa Butter 

Sleep: Pretty good, considering I slept through most of the time that the electric company cut down a ginormous tree in my front yard this morning

Best moment this week: Cleaning out the nursery, getting ready to paint

Miss Anything? Not ramming my knee on the baby gate we use to keep the puppy out of the bedrooms... apparently my ability to lift my legs higher has now become nonexistent

Movement: Lots of little kicks and wiggles... some days I feel like she's sleeping much more than others, but last night she was a wild little thing

Food cravings: Loving smoothies in the morning... not really feeling like I have to have anything that second though

Anything making you queasy or sick: I've had some sort of cold/sore throat and that's been making me feel somewhat queasy at times

Gender: GIRL & she has a name!

Labor Signs: Nope.

Symptoms: Some back pain but otherwise feeling good

Belly Button in or out? in

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy for the most part!

Looking forward to: Painting the nursery (hopefully) on Friday!

Hope you enjoy your week & thanks for reading!
