Getting on the preggo-status-train!

How far along?
24w, 3 days

Bubba's chunk-o-meter: 
Apprx.12 inches / 30 cm, 1.32 lbs / 600 g - was told at our 21w u/s he's in the 68th percentile

My total chunk-o-meter: 
7 lbs / 3.2 kg

Stretch marks? 
Nope

Belly button status? 
Still in, but my long healed piercing scar is now all on the outside and I can feel the "button" poking a little bit.

Counting sheep? 
Toss and turn, pee twice a night, crazy dreams, wake up with tousled hair.

Foods I can't live without: 
Tomatoes and potatoes! Mmmm carbs!

Foods I can't stand: 
Hmmm... that's an unfamiliar concept...

Best moment this month: 
Diver Dude and Mamma feeling the first movements around 21,5 weeks.

Worst moment this month: 
Diver Dude spacing out on my birthday. Long story. Good ending.

Movement? 
YES, this is a wild little guy. Every morning and night. Seems to not like me driving or sitting down wearing jeans as he kicks right where the waist band hits :)

Symptoms: 
Almost embarrassed to say I hardly have or have had any major symptoms. Frequent nose bleeds. Stuffy nose.

Gender? 
We're having a son :)

What I miss? 
Sushi and Cabernet.

What I'm looking forward to? 
Getting bigger while Bubba's cooking.

Monthly Wisdom
Don't worry, be happy.

Milestone: 
Movement felt on the outside, finding out we're having a boy and reaching viability.

Emotions: Calm as a cucumber. Mood swings, what's that? Seriously though, my anxiety levels seem to go down every week.

  7. Here from ICLW :) I LOVE baby bump pictures. I used to say that if I ever get pregnant I'm going to walk about in belly-shirts showing off my pregnant buddha belly. I'm anxious awaiting that day.

  11. Once again, great bump pictures! I can't wait until my husband can feel the baby move. It's such an amazing experience for us as women to feel the baby move, but to be able to share it with our husbands is just as special.

  17. Seriously, your belly sticks out as much as mine maybe more, but it might not be as wide as mine. And yes I will prove it! Pics are coming! :)
    Last night was not a good night for picture taking…
    Love ya'
    I see Bubba has done the same trick on you that the twins have on me - made our faces and extremities sooo skinny…
