24 Weeks

Hi baby!

You continue growing and making me quite round! You have gained around 4 ounces since last week alone, putting you at about 1 1/3 pounds and one foot long (an ear of corn).  My uterus is now the size of a soccer ball...um, WHAT?! You are pretty lean still, not a lot of baby fat, but that will come soon enough. I can't believe you are a foot long now...though when I look at these pictures, I believe it! Obviously I see my belly but for some reason the pictures of me still always surprise me. Not to be vain, but you look pretty good on me if I do say so myself. ;)

I feel your movements a lot more now. I pretty much always feel you moving around after I eat. Sometimes it feels like you are training for some sort of kung fu event or something in there... I also always feel kicks in the middle or on my left side, never on my right. Some kicks make me feel like I need to pee all of a sudden. You are strong my little prince! I love being able to put your daddy's hand on my belly so he can feel you. He seems to really enjoy it as well.

Over the last week and a half or so I have been incessantly cravings sweets and giving in to them more than I should be probably! I also seem to be getting very hungry in between meals. When we went grocery shopping this week, I got some healthy snacks and made some yummy muffins with lots of good ingredients. I want you to be getting all the nutrients you need my little one.

You are perfect baby boy. Love you so much.

WOAH look how far my belly sticks out!
