24 weeks

Good Morning! Welcome To Our Baby Blog! Today I am 24 weeks! I refuse to change my due date just because our daughter is small. Our Daughter, still surreal. I had to remind myself when I was praying last night that I no longer can say 'he/she' when thanking God. It's all SHE! Oh my gosh! I think about buying girly things & it a little bit doesn't feel right. I really expected a Boy first, even though most of the pregnancy I felt girl. Who knows, my mind is crazy! We are 24 weeks & that's just insane! 16 weeks to go baby! I haven't talked about weight gain but so far I've only gained 7.5 lbs. I really need to focus on healthier eating though & more exercise because I'd really like to only gain 15 if possible. Probably impossible but I can dream right. :)

Our Daughter should be about 13.5 inches & weigh 1.5 lbs which she'll probably reach by next week. :) Ticker says about the size of Cauliflower! She can kick up a storm, let me tell you! I don't know how or why people count kicks. I'd rather just feel them & enjoy them then sit there counting them. She's kicking me so I know she's ok!

Symptoms Or Whatever you want to call them: SORE lower stomach muscle, it's especially nice when she stretches out against them. :) Sore breasts & nipples. Insomnia/Crappy Sleep! Headaches & Heartburn! I'm sure more stretchmarks. Fatigue, Less Energy & Less Stamina!
I actually slept great last night but I feel exhausted. Most of the week I slept like crap but felt fine when I woke up. People go on & on about how you don't sleep once you have a baby. They forgot to include it starts when you are growing the baby!

So, it was a great week, mostly! We found out the gender &&& I found out I'm cleared to fly in a month FOR A BABY SHOWER!!! My sissy is throwing me probably the best baby shower ever. She's so excited about it. She asked if I wanted a jungle themed shower (since my baby/nursery theme is jungle) or just girly! You throw it, it's your choice! I really don't care. I'm just happy I'm able to fly home for a shower, even if it's at 6 months. But my parents are driving out a week later to visit so that's why I'm able to do this shower in the first place. Yay!

Names: Well....I have my 2 choices & I'm not sure about baby daddy. He knows my choices & they've basically been my choices since the beginning. Now we can actually discuss them since we know for sure we're having a daughter. A Daughter! Soooo surreal! :)

Tschuess from a Happy Momma!
