24 weeks

well...24 weeks as of tomorrow but who's counting.  I officially look pregnant-people smile at me and tell me to have a good day all the time now when I go to stores whereas before I was invisible apparently.  Everynow and then I look at myself and swear that I somehow got bigger literally over night.  Sometimes it feels normal and no big deal and then other times it's hard to recognize myself underneath the baby bump. We have goal to go for a walk/do something physically active once a day whether it's together or apart-depending on our schedules-and I think it'll help me get ready for any hiking/lots of walking we do in New York in a week so that's good. 


so some fun stats:


When are you due: How many weeks?: Aug 3, 2012 (24 weeks)


How much weight gained: umm..10-12 pounds?


Size of baby: almost a foot long (ear of corn) and over a pound now


Gender: it's a boy!


Latest food craving: shrug still nothing crazy other than the occasional sweet tooth which is normal for me...


Aversions: don't mind meat but hate preparing it.


Sleep: not too bad though sometimes I wake up entirely too early and can't get back to sleep til 7 or 8.


Worst Thing about being pregnant: um...shrug, feeling pretty good now-I guess the back aches/typical growing pains.


Best Thing about being pregnant: feeling our baby boy kick and letting code feel


Are you more scared or excited: excited


Happy or mostly moody: hmmm...I'd say 80% happy 20% moody (if I ever get mad it's cause of the stupid computer players in the ticket to ride app we play, and the crying is less frequent.)


Last time you cried over something ridiculous was: um...my back started aching before bed so I was using the hot pad and they were just tears of frustration- worrrying I wouldn't be able to be comfortable all night when code came over and started comforting me without me even saying anything-he barely started comforting me when I switched, was no longer sad but was crying cause I was so grateful for him and how perceptive/caring he is.  It took him a minute but then he was tracking haha.


Weirdest dream you've had since pregnant?: too many to count


Movement: baby boy likes to kick in the morning when I talk/sing to him and ALWAYS starts kicking like crazy during our nightly prayers just before bed-I know a good sign right?....


Baby Gear: We have a graco pack-n-play, some cute onsies/articles of clothing, a baby carrier cover, some burp cloths/blankets, cover-up for nursing in public, and I just bought my diaper bag today-so excited!  We're waiting til may to buy the big furniture items and make sure it ships alright/has all the right pieces/we're happy with it etc in case we need to return anything.


other symptoms: shrug, can't go super long without eating something-inbetween snacks, achey back from time to time, and apparently I snort from time to time during sleep....not snore mind you, just snort....just once....sometimes it wakes me up.  I find it extremely embarassing but code finds it hilarious.
