How Far Along: 24 weeks! 

Size of baby: A cantaloupe! Getting big baby!

Sleep: Good when I don't think about too much. And get tired at certain times of the day. Around 5pm is my peak tiredness. 

Total Weight Gain: 18 pounds! Dr said today I am picking up the pace with the weight gain... and I can pump the breaks a little now ;). Based on my starting weight the total amount of weight I should gain is 25 pounds, so that only gives me 7 more pounds that I am suppose to gain and I still got a long ways to go. OK, I know baby we love our ice cream, but we might need to chill off that for a bit and do some more walking. 

Symptoms: Feeling good! More movement, and it's normal for you to be moving around down low since my uterus is still low. And everything looks great! Midwife said today everything looks perfect! Love hearing that. So this week has been good. Slight backaches and when I am on my side for too long sometimes my hips hurt, but not a big deal.

Movement: You're moving and moving. Keep it up baby girl! 

Maternity Clothes: No shopping this week, but it's definitely obvious that I am pregnant now. No hiding it now.

Go-to eats: It's about lunch time! I think after my appointment this morning and hearing I am gaining weight too quick, I will try and stay away from the sweets and carbs for a bit. Also have to take my GS test again in 2 weeks and really hope I don't have it. Maybe I'll grab a salad with some steak on top for protein :) 

Best moment of the week: Saw Auntie Diana over the weekend and it's always so nice catching up with her. It was super relaxing and just so happy about welcoming you into this world. Here's a pic of her and I taking a selfie at her house...

And you have another new friend! Another boyfriend. Shirene had a baby boy on Monday, May 26th. Ronan Paul Ronzone. I haven't seen a picture of him (he came a little early) but it sounds like everything is A-OK. Here he is:

Gender: Here are some more names for you baby girl: Tatum (that's Auntie Diana's favorite) Nina and Quinn. 

Workout: Not good at all! I really need to step it up in this department. 

What I’m looking forward to: Setting up your nursery. I found some really great bohemian ideas on pinterest. I want to stick with the elephants, but more of a Thailand or Moroccan feel. Like Cost Plus World Market. Here are some of my favorites. We'll see how much I incorporate...

Milestones and stressors: We found out that Dad has cancer again. Very stressful and a huge bummer. Just makes me think more and more about Mom (your MaMa) and what the next steps will be. Would we all move to the duplex so she can live in the front? Lots to think about and hate to have to worry about that stuff now, but have to be realistic about things.
