Weekly Update

How Far Along: 24 week. Viability!!! YAY!!!

How Big is Baby: The size of a cantaloupe. 10.5-11.8 inches and 12.7-20.8 ounces.

Total Weight Gain:  Don't know. We don't own a scale so I haven't checked my weight since my last appointment almost two weeks a go.

Maternity Clothes: Nothing new. I really just plan on living in my two pairs of stretchy shorts, my two stretch dresses and the maternity shorts and pants I already have.

Stretch Marks: None that I have found as of yet. I am starting to get that linea nigra that I've been hearing so much about.

Sleep: I've been sleeping a lot more lately. Friday night I fell asleep around 8 and slept until 10 then fell back asleep and slept till 1:30. Then I fell back asleep and slept until 8 Saturday morning. Saturday night I went to sleep around 10 and then woke up around 3 when hubby came to bed. I was awake for about two hours then slept till 9. I've been feeling refreshed but being awake for two hours during the night has been a little strange.

Movement: She has been moving tons and tons. Went to the pool today and as I was sitting out drying off and sunning she was moving my whole belly!

Food Cravings: Still nothing consistent; just food in general.

What I miss: My energy. I come home from school every day exhausted to the point of being able to take a nap but I won't allow myself to do so because I know I won't be able to sleep that night if I do. Even getting up 4 hours a go and spending 2 hours at the pool I am ready for a nap.

What I am looking forward to: School getting out (still). We are down to 4 days with the students and 5 for us teachers. This summer I am planning on getting things ready for Zoey by cleaning the house and once her room is painted putting her furniture in place and possibly redoing her dresser. I'm also planning on moving the book case in our room by the window to put the Pack N Play at the foot of our bed to make access to Zoey that much easier. Then there's all the plans I have for getting things ready for my new 2nd grade classroom including lesson plans and hall passes and stuff like that.

Oh and This!: Have I mentioned viability week yet?!? I can't believe we made it this far! Of course we hope that she keeps cooking for 16  weeks but still 16 weeks to go until we meet this little bundle of joy!
