Today is a special week. It's kind of a terrifying thought, but this week I am officially to the age of viability. That means that if for some reason baby E had to come right now, she would have a 50-70% chance of survival. Which is both amazing and terrifying. I really hope we have another 16 weeks before she comes. I know it's weird, but I'm actually really hoping to make it right around my due date and not actually go early. Of course now that I think that she'll probably come at 37 weeks or something. Just because my kids are convinced they need to show me how little control I actually have over anything.
How far along? 24 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I think I've gained a pound or two, I'm still not really sure.
Maternity clothes? I've been looking more and more this week to find some, but I'm kind of picky in what I want and so I still haven't found anything.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Getting rougher. I have started waking up a little more to go to the bathroom and Elli has slept really bad this week because she had a cold.
Best moment this week: Reaching the age of viability
Miss anything? Being able to eat food without feeling gross
Movement: She's not a super active little girl most days, but she's definitely getting stronger.
Food cravings: This week I really wanted kalua pork. But then I had some and it wasn't really what I wanted. Welcome to pregnancy huh?
Anything making you queasy or sick: Eating. I really really hate food lately. I'll feel really hungry but every time I eat I just feel so crappy afterwards. It's exhausting.
Have you started to show yet: Yes, I have a definitely bump.
Gender: Girl. It's so much fun. I am about 95% sure of the name we have picked out for her too and it's just the best.
Labor signs: Definitely nothing yet and I'd like to keep it that was for a few more months at least.
Bell button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? Still on, but wearing it is getting harder and harder. It's getting much tighter and I'm pretty sure my days of wearing it are numbered.
Happy or moody most of the time: This week I have been very moody. Elli hasn't sleep very good because she had a cold and so I've been really tired. That combined with Colton being gone has been really rough. Luckily, he only has 6 weeks left before he moves down to Cedar for good.
Looking forward to: Getting to see Elli with her baby sister. She's already so adorable and will hug my belly all the time and say over and over again, "I love my baby", I can't wait until they can be together and grow up together.
24 Weeks:
Your Baby is as Big as a Cantaloupe
- Her see-through skin is gradually becoming more opaque.
- And it's got a new pink glow, thanks to the small capillaries that have recently formed.
25 Weeks
Your Baby is as Big as a Cauliflower
- She's enjoying her new sense of equilibrium — she now knows which way is up and which is down.
- She's growing more fat and more hair too!
