Today I had my 24 week appointment and I was lucky enough to have my mom come with me! Her and my step dad recently moved to Park City so it has been so much fun being close to and seeing her every week! I feel so spoiled with her this close; we haven't lived in the same state for 5 years! I am definitely loving having her around, especially to share in these special moments with me.
Our appointment was kind of rushed which annoyed me, but my doctor had to run out really fast to deliver a baby so I guess it's fine...haha I'd want her to do the same for me when I go into labor, but I was sad that my mom didn't get to hear the heartbeat for very long or visit with my doctor. It was so fun listening to the baby's heartbeat and being able to see how excited my mom was- I was super proud, she didn't even cry once! After my appointment we went to lunch and spent the rest of the day shopping at City Creek, there's just something so fun about spending the day with your mom. It's crazy to think that I will soon be having girls days of my own with my little baby.
How far along: 24 weeks and 1 day
Maternity clothes: oh yes, I'm so much more comfortable and happier in maternity clothes. Crazy how wearing clothes that fit you can change your mood so much
Stretch marks: Not yet! I'm hoping they never make an appearance
Sleep: Ugh, the good ole' days of sleeping... I bought new sheets and pillows the other day and it has definitely helped haha
Best moment of this week: Taking my mom to my appointment and feeling this baby girl kick all the time
Miss anything: I miss being able to move freely. Getting in and out of bed and bending over to pick things up is getting hard. Joe says I'm just being dramatic since I'm not that big, if only he knew ha
Movement: Yes! Loving every little kick and punch I feel
Food cravings: Caramel popcorn. I am obsessed
Anything making you queasy or sick: If I go too long without eating I get nauseated, but smells aren't bothering me like they used to thank goodness!
Have you started to show yet: Oh yes, yes, yes I've finally popped. I feel huge and realizing that I'm only going to get bigger and bigger is slightly depressing
Gender: Beautiful baby girl
Labor signs: No, thank goodness!
Belly button in or out: Still in! The countdown is on to see if it ever pops. I don't think it will...
Wedding rings on or off: on
Happy or moody most of the time: I'm usually happy, sometimes I have an off day.
Looking forward to: putting together the beautiful crib my mom and mark got for us!! Can't wait to start decorating the nursery.
