24 weeks

These weeks are flying by! I cannot believe we have already reached the 24 week mark. We are making lots of progress & starting to get prepared on the home front for Shep's arrival! 

We recently moved our guest room furniture into our bonus room, turning it into a office/man cave/guest room. It turned out nicely and we are pleased with it. So now we can really focus on the nursery. We paint this weekend thanks to the help of my parents and now I just need to narrow my five grey paint choices down to one! Who knew grey paint could be so hard to choose?

Hatcher is really starting to notice the baby bump now. He waves to the baby and kisses my tummy all the time. It is so sweet! Let's just pray he's that sweet to baby Shep once he's here! :)

I had my 24 week check-up this afternoon so below are the details on that and of course my most recent "bump" shot!

How far along? 24 weeks, 1 day

Total weight gain/loss: +16 lbs

Maternity clothes? Yes. Recently bought some fall/winter items and can't wait for my favorite Old Navy skinny jeans to arrive this week! Being able to order my favorite jeans in maternity is super exciting!

Stretch marks? Nope! :)

Sleep: Having difficulty going to sleep some nights because I can't turn my brain off. Lots to think about & do. Hatcher is still struggling with sleeping all night in his big boy bed so snuggling with him in a twin isn't all that comfy either. But I do enjoy his sweet cuddles!

Best moment this week: Having some quality family time with my boys this weekend & getting to hear Shep's heart beat today!

Have you told family and friends: Yes!

Miss Anything? Sounds funny but the bigger Shep gets the harder it is to get a good deep breath some moments. Activities that used to be simple & easy leave me huffing & puffing lately. Glad that sweet boy is growing big & strong!

Movement: Yes and lots of it! Shep is very active and most active late at night. 

Food cravings: Boy do I have a sweet tooth! I made peanut butter cookies with Reese's cups in them the other week and this past weekend chocolate chip cookies. I can't help myself!

Anything making you queasy or sick? No!

Belly Button in or out? In

Have you started to show yet: Yes

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: No

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy but I've had my moody moments over the last few weeks.

Looking forward this week: Painting the nursery & seeing my parents!!
