Food comparison:  head of Lettuce  (13.6 to 14.8 inches long, 1.5 to 2.2lbs)

Weight gain: 15 pounds

Sleep:  ha, depends on the night and if Manning is sleeping with us trying to steal my body pillow or not.  It's hard to get comfortable and once I find a good position, I have to pee.

Best moment of the week: just feeling her kicking like crazy

 Movement: Lots of kicking and I can see my stomach jump now when she kicks.

Food cravings/aversions:  Baked potatoes, strawberries, blueberry anything, milkshakes

What I miss: sleeping on my stomach, no back pain

Workouts:  walking Manning, on my feet at work all day and very busy, stretching 6+ stiff shoulders and ankles a day, very easy zumba at home and in class (can't jump too well anymore) 

Stretch marks: none- I am slathering on cocoa butter lotion daily hoping to prevent them.

Maternity clothes: yep.  It's been fairly noticable I'm pregnant now obviously as all my new patients and random strangers ask me when I'm due.

Wylie Jewell Collier- 24 weeks

This tunic makes me look gigantic!

My feet are still there!

The bump walking Manning in today's lovely sunshine!

How far along: 24 weeks

Food comparison: Cantaloupe  (10.5 to 12.7 inches long, 12.7 to 20.8 ounces)

Weight gain: 12 pounds

Sleep: it's not bad but not normal either. That body pillow is a must for sure!  Sleeping with both dogs weighing down the comforter during the deep freeze this week was a challenge.  Turning over with the body pillow was hard anyway, but with added weight and less room it became an act of congress! Worth it to keep them warm though!

Best moment of the week: 24 week up check up hearing her heart beat.  Upper 150's. 

 Movement: I feel her a lot.  She likes to kick, punch and flip.

Food cravings/aversions:  Baked potatoes, seafood, eggs, oranges, and ice cream/yogurt.  No major aversions.

What I miss: fried eggs over easy and unlimited seafood

Workouts:  I did get to finally walk Manning today.  Due to my sinus infection I couldn't do much at all. 

Stretch marks: none- I am slathering on cocoa butter lotion daily hoping to prevent them.

Maternity clothes: yes. I 'm not sure if I will ever remember to button and zip pants again when I can wear normal clothes again!

Belly button: not in but not out?
