Bumpdate weeks 23 & 24

Bumpdate: 23 weeks

Another week closer to meeting my sweet baby! I forgot to post week 23 so here's weeks 23 & 24 together!

               I didn't take a bump pic with my chalkboard so I had to settle for this gym selfie 

How far along: 23 weeks

Baby Size: According to thebump.com Baby Barrett is the size of a grapefruit.

Weight gain: not exactly sure but if I had to guess I would say at least 5 lbs.

Maternity clothes: Thank goodness I can still fit into all my non maternity workout clothes so I wear those most days :) and anytime I wear jeans I am definitely rocking the belly band!

Stretch marks: Not yet, and I am working hard on trying to prevent these by applying stretch mark cream every time I get out of the shower.

Sleep:  Still pretty great! The only complaint is if I wake up after 4 am I am usually up for the day and can't fall back asleep 😕

  Gender: Blue all the way    Movement: Baby B loves to move all around during relaxation time in yoga!
Best moment this week: Getting my kitchen, bedroom, and closet totally reorganized!    Looking forward to: Heading to Tennessee! 

Food cravings: Los Compadres Mexican in Lebanon, STILL! Heading there to eat tonight (and probably tomorrow and maybe Saturday, I'm telling yall it's bad!) yay yay yay! And anything sweet.

  Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!    Labor Signs: No   Symptoms: Just the ever growing belly.
Hubby: Bless his heart, every time I try to get him to feel Baby B kick he stops kicking. 

Nursery: No progress this week, hopefully that will change this weekend!

 

Belly Button in or out? In 

Wedding rings on or off? On

Workouts: 3 Zumba classes, 3 yoga classes, light weightlifting, and walks around the neighborhood with my sweet Aubs daily! 

Bumpdate: 24 weeks

How far along: 24 weeks

Baby Size: According to thebump.com Baby Barrett is the size of a cantaloupe. Pregnant chicken says he is as long as a foot long sub (& now I want a Jersey Mikes sandwich:))
Weight gain: Went to my 24 week appointment on Friday and they informed me I was up a total of 5 lbs since my last appointment, making that a total of 8 pounds 😁 

Maternity clothes: Still rocking my stretching workout clothes as much as possible and the belly band when I need to dress up a little more!

Thank goodness my sweet Mama sent me a care package from the Loft with a couple of new maternity pants so I have a few more options!

Stretch marks: Not yet, still working on preventing these!!!

Sleep:  I'm finding it harder and harder to get comfortable. 

  Gender: Baby Barrett Upton! Our sweet boy!!   Movement: Baby B has a dance party every time I eat a homemade Rice Krispy treat (I may or may not have finished off an entire pan by myself this week!)
Best moment this week: Going home to see my family! My grandma took me to my first auction while I was in town (looking for an antique dresser for cheap!) and it was such a fun/interesting experience! Sadly we didn't find a dresser, maybe next time!    Looking forward to: My two favorite kiddos are coming in town this weekend to spend some quality time with their JoJo and I can't wait to spoil them! Chick-Fil-A and ice cream is calling their names!

Food cravings: Anything and EVERYTHING sweet!

  Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope! Yay!   Labor Signs: I have been having Braxton-Hicks contractions almost every evening for the past week. They do not hurt but it is really weird to feel my stomach and it be harder than a rock.   Symptoms: None
Hubby: He's busy busy with work these next few weeks.

Nursery: No progress this week.

 

Belly Button in or out? In
