24 weeks

How far along?: 24 weeks
How big is baby?: Your baby has caught up with an ear of corn in size and gained about 1/4 pound since last week (Length: almost a foot.)
Weight gain?: I am up 12 pounds.
Stretch marks?: I started noticing some on my under belly. I hope they were from the previous pregnancy and will go away as before.
Maternity clothes?: Touchy subject these days. Let's just say that I need to go shopping!!!
Food cravings?: I am all about the tzatziki and cucumbers.
Sleep?: I am happy to report that I have been having some solid nights of sleep. Maybe I am just to darn exhausted to do anything but give in to sleep.
Gender?: Adding to the male population.
Exercise?: Slacking. Walks are about the extent of my exercise.
What's been going on? We have been one busy family these days and it looks like there will be no slowing down anytime soon. I feel like baby boy and momma have grown a ton in the last week. My belly seems huge and baby boy is swinging a good punch these days. Baby boy, your big brother and sister are talking to you all the time. They love to sing you lullabies before bedtime. I also want to thank you for allowing me a few days here and there without being sick. Here is to another busy week ahead, hopefully you can keep up, little one.

Check out week 24 with Baby #1 and #2 here.

24 weeks

Weekly e-mail update: His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
How far along?: 24 weeks
How big is baby?:Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up.
Weight gain?: I have gained 10 pounds.
Stretch marks?: Not yet. Lathering up the lotion.
Maternity clothes?: Still using the belly band with my normal clothes. I love leggings and yoga pants!
Food cravings?: Anything cold.
Sleep?: Little Miss L. has been suffering from an allergic reaction for the past week...many sleepless nights!
Gender?: Coming very soon...
Exercise?: Still working up a sweat by packing.
What's been going on?: This week, the little one has been moving all over the place. Those little flickers are now kicks and daddy is now able to enjoy them as well. The little one co-operated and we were able to find out the sex of the new addition. We can't wait to share the news with everyone this weekend. I meet again with my ob/gyn next week and he will probably schedule my glucose test... not looking forward to that. Let's hope I pass the first test this time around and won't have to take the 3 hour test later on. Looking forward to filling my belly with good food this weekend. So, what do you think... is it team pink or blue?!?!?!
