23 week u/s

Had an u/s to check my cervix length.  Everything looked great and they released me from getting more u/s!  Sooooo hopefully won't see the baby until December!  She was weighing in at 1lb 4oz.

24 weeks

How far along: 24 weeks
How big is baby:    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.


Sleep:   Seeming a little less tired


Movement:  She moves all over


Food cravings:  Nothing specific this week
Food aversions: None
Gender: It's still a girl!!
Symptoms: heartburn is bad still.  2 Zantac a day

Best moment of the week:   Chase and Benny started school!



What I'm looking forward to: fall and apple cider



Milestones: V-day!!!!!!!!!!!



Maternity clothes: Still wearing maternity pants or sweatpants. No maternity shirts yet.
