Playing catch up, again!

Man, I have not been good at keeping up with this weekly blog lately! So I left off at 22 weeks, I'm on week 24 now, going on 25...

Baby is now the size of an ear of corn (which is always going to make me think of Mayeling from my mom page now!). She is also about a pound and a half. On the bump for dad's article my baby is now the size of a baseball glove. 

Kind of funny. I can tell she is longer now when I lay on my side. I can feel where her hands are compared to her feet. I'm always surprised at how long it feels like she is stretched out. Although, I'm pretty long...long fingers long toes, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised if she comes out on the longer side ;). 

She's really active at night. It's so cool to just watch my belly jump from the gymnastics class she takes on the inside of my belly. Rebecca was here this last weekend and got to feel Olivia doing her jungle gym moves. 

I also started noticing Braxton Hicks contractions. It's a pretty strange feeling. But it is kind of a new & excited thing that I am happy to experience.

I had another little mini breakdown about the two rooms on Sunday...but no fear because Rebecca was there to the rescue ;). After a few lists were made we were off to shop...till we dropped. And I feel SO much better about the rooms now. I have a clear, finished view of what I am going for and what the outcome is going to look like. I just needed a little girl time! Men, they just don't understand decorating...at least not my man! Haha! 

With that I will show you Olivia's rug that we picked up on Sunday :)

& here is my 23 week photo: 

I haven't taken my 24 week photo yet, I need to do that tonight. I'm feeling an ice cream picture again! 

How far along? 24 weeks 5 days
Total weight gain: As of last week...21lbs

Stretch marks? Nope... Brown line below my belly button, yes. Very thin & light though.

Sleep: Sleep is going pretty well
Best moment this week: Probably this whole weekend. It was really nice having family in town. I remember looking around at the dinner talbe on Saturday night and just felt completely calm & happy. Love those Saks! 
Miss Anything? Just my old body. I hate felling so restricted. I'm hoping picking up the workouts again will help in this department. I just feel so immobile already...not good! 
Movement: Multiple times a day!
Food cravings: Sweets & Tijuana Flats queso...
Gender: Girl :)
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: My wonderful rib pain has come back to haunt me this week. I also have heartburn everyday...multiple times a day. It's the best ;). 
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? Wedding band: off Engagement ring: on together they are double trouble! 
Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty happy all the time. I've been easily agitated lately, but I think that's a part of getting bigger...
Looking forward to: Our 1st birthing class on Thursday night!!!

That about does it for this post. Thanks for joining me this week. I will leave you with this: 
I had a dream about Olivia the other week. She was tiny, cute and had lots of dark brown hair. Sometimes I try to picture what our lives are going to be like when she is here. How we will change, having an added person in our family and I get overwhelmed with joy. And then fear comes, lol. But mostly I feel very excited for the future!! :)
