Belly bump week #24

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart...
Jeremiah 1:5







How far along are you?
24 weeks
Best Moment this week?
My birthday weekend and family vacation {wait for the post and TONS of pictures)
Prayer requests?
That Isabel and I will feel better soon. poor baby has been sick with cough and cold, and got me sick as well. Hopefully Derrick and Daniel will stay healthy.
Baby's growth?
Baby D3 gained another 4 oz in the past week! He/she is almost a foot long
Symptoms?
Less backache when sleeping.... unfortunately more congestion from allergies and being sick.
Weight gain?
+27 lbs at my OB appt yikes!
Cravings?
anything sweet! especially chocolate. I already finished the toblerone bar I received for my birthday. Thanks kids.
Exercise?
Zumba: 3x this week, once during our 4 day vacation. Will have to step up this coming week.
Sleep?
I need LOTS of it. Little Belle did not sleep well while we were on vacation. Probably because we co-slept. She is used to her own crib, her own space. And she's sick too so she just wants to be consoled by her momma. Hence I am sick and Derrick not-sick.
Maternity Clothes?
nonmaternity tights and dresses
long tops and tunics
some maternity outfits
Gender?
Baby D3 is a surprise!!! we don't know if it's a boy or a girl.
Movement?
little bumps when I am resting. Less when I am busy and moving around.
What I miss....
NOT gaining weight
pre-pregnancy skinny jeans
What I'm looking forward to....
Cruising along the rest of the pregnancy. Not hurrying it up... because soon, I will have 3 kids in tow.
About the rest of the family:
Thanks to my mom for coming with us to the Dells this past weekend. It was a big help since I was with Isabel (napping and resting) and she took Daniel to the water park.
Daniel is still scared of the theme park rides -- we need you with us Nathaniel!!!

My pregnancy journal @ Sarah's
She won't be hosting the link-up in the future (sad....) but I will continue journaling weekly here as we wait for Baby D3.
