Holy cow! I'm 24 weeks already. Only a few more weeks until I enter the 3rd trimester. This pregnancy is flying by and I'm trying to enjoy every minute of it. Here are some of the latest developments. My lower back has begun to ache when I sit or stand for too long. I guess it's all the baby weight in my belly I'm gaining. Or the fact that my breasts alone have gained 5 pounds. I am usually on my feet all day long teaching and Robin has been on my case about getting off my feet more. I know he's right and I need to get in the habit of sitting down periodically or I'm going to have elephant cankles by the time this baby gets here. Speaking of this baby, we still haven't decided on a name. Is this normal to have this much trouble deciding on a name? Anyway, the small flutterings I used to feel have turned into full-on rollings/twistings/turnings. And baby has become somewhat predictable with his waking/sleeping patterns because he always wakes me up in the morning moving around and he really gets going after I eat. Oh, and when I use the hairdryer in the morning, he gets pretty active. I've completely forgotten all about how bad I felt and how sick I was during the first few months. I guess that's why women have more than one baby!
24 weeks - Look this shirt makes me look like a watermelon!
