24 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along:  24 weeks 

Size of Babies:  13 inches long and weighs a little over a pound each.  They are each the length of an ear of corn!

Gender:  Girls

Weight Gain/Loss:  +4 lbs. total

Movement:  A LOT of movement!  The girls kick really well!  They are very active, especially around 10:00 or 11:00pm....not a good sign. Ha!

Food Cravings:  I still drink carnation instant breakfast all day long.  I have also wanted banana frozen yogurt or ice cream lately.  We have even made our own banana "ice cream" which was quite delicious!

Symptoms:  This week has been up and down.  I felt very lightheaded on Wednesday and even saw spots at one point.  But, I think it is from my diet or lack of eating.  I also got very nauseous on Friday.  I have tried to drink a lot more water and eat more frequently to see if that helps.

My Health:  Other than my new symptoms this week, my health is ok.  My blood pressure is still normal.  If my symptoms worsen, then I will call the doctor.

Sleep:  I have started not sleeping well this week also.  It takes a while for me to get comfortable and fall asleep and I wake up to a very stiff back.

Best moment this week:  Justin and I being able to feel and see the girls move and kick.  I can sit on the couch now and we can watch my belly jump!

What I'm looking forward to:  My ultrasound in a few weeks.
