24 Week Bumpdate!

Braxton Hicks! Ouch!!

Updates
This week has been crazy! I've had braxton hicks contractions every day now! They get so tight and uncomfortable! Although thats what my progressive contractions felt like as well, that's probably not what it is because I am not in active labor! (thank goodness).


Symptoms

Tired
Hormonal
Stressed
Sore
Hungry & Thirsty
Increased Urination

Cravings

Fruit
Subway
Lemonade




Highlights and Lowlights of my Pregnancy Week 23-24:

Highlights: 
  • My belly is growing more everyday
  • Asher can move my entire belly (videos on instagram)
  • My belly is getting bigger (good and bad.)
Lowlights:
  • My acne is coming on full force 
  • Pain in tailbone when laying on my back
  • I feel so heavy
  • It's getting hard to paint my toenails
  • I have trouble getting out of bed
  • I get tired very easily



Weight gain: +11 lbs



Major Developmental Milestones: Baby's lungs are beginning to produce surfactant, a substance that keeps the air sacs in the lungs from collapsing. This is essential for proper breathing once he leaves the womb and begins to breathe air! 
If he were to be born at this point, his lungs have developed enough to give him a chance of surviving beyond birth with very special care in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).  



Stretch marks: I have gained a few new stretch marks on the back of my legs.


Belly button in or out: It is in between



Sleep: It is extremely hard to get comfortable now since I am a belly sleeper and can no longer do that. I have to have a pillow between my legs and it takes me about an hour to find a comfortable position.

Best moment this week: My little sister graduated high school early.

Worst moment this week: This week was pretty good.

Miss anything: I miss fitting into cute clothes for summer.

Movement: Asher can move my entire belly!!! He is kicking so hard! (See my Instagram)

Cravings: Fruit and sweets are the main craving for this week! 

Queasy or sick: Nope

Looking forward to: Moving into a house with a back yard!

Mood: I've been very tired!

Upcoming Events/Appointments: I have an OB appointment June 3rd! 

What I Look Forward To: Kaidens second birthday coming up!

Weekly Wisdom: A lot of people will stab you in the back, no matter how much trust you place in them.

Starting weight 130 pounds! 
I am now 141 pounds. 
I gained 11 lbs!
