What a week!, Whew! Kinda glad it's over (see more below). I don't really have much to say...I wrote a lot in my responses below so I'll just leave you with a picture...E.J. took this of me a few days ago when I got home from work:) Cheers to almost 25 weeks...just a couple weeks before we're in the 3rd trimester!! Let's go:)
•How far along?: 24 weeks, 6 days!
•Baby is the size of a: Eggplant, 1.7lbs
•Total weight gain/loss: 14lbs. at 22+2
•The Bump: I can't tell you how much I love it and what it represents...I'm in love:)
•Symptoms: Oh....can you say emotional roller coaster? Emotionally unstable?? Goodness gracious...week 24 was a bit emotional for me. I am not a crier and I cried, oh let's say, 3 or 4 times. I am not allowing myself to watch sad movies, sad commercials, any of that junk, anymore!! I can't handle it. And please don't stress me out...I will tear up and after that it's ON! Things have calmed down as I've gotten closer to 25 weeks but boy oh boy it was a very up and down week for me! lol
•Food Cravings: I still don't think I'm craving stuff but I when I see something that looks good I think about it like I'm a lion stalking my prey... it's weird. ha!
•Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Nothing this past week, thankfully!
•Sleep: Still trying to be comfortable...there's no more laying on my back, as much as I want to & not because the Dr. told me not to after 20 weeks, but because I just can't do it and feel in any way, shape or form COMFORTABLE. So, sleeping is a bit eghhh right now... Oh. But E.J. does laugh because now when I am "spooning" him I have to push his butt forward to adjust for the bump and it makes him laugh...which makes me laugh:)
•What I miss: Okay, so last week I was told I can't lift heavy stuff & I said I missed being able to do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it. This week I was told, per my darling husband, that I can't cut the grass (which, surprisingly, I really enjoy) or go into the attic. Okay, at first I was a little put off...WHY? I can do it, come on!!! BUT, now I am realizing that it's in the best interest for baby Emil & E.J. is just looking out for me and his little one (sweet protective daddy/hubby). I also think this is some type of a lesson God is teaching me to have a little more patience. (please don't tell E.J. this, hopefully he doesn't read it! lol. Because he'll TOTALLY agree...He says I need to have more patience all the time! Oh, whatever! lol) I think it's God showing me to calm down on "doing it my way" or on my own and utilize the help of others when the ask if they can help...especially my sweet hubby. Just for years I've just always been the GO GO GO girl...so maybe God's saying slow slow slow...down. ;) So, long answer but I'm not missing anything this week.
•Weddings Rings On or Off: On!
•Any Names Picked Out Yet: We have a Jr!
•Gender Prediction: Baby Kukoly is a BOY!
•Movement: Yes and it's amazing....It absolutely makes my day:)
•Maternity Clothes: Same as last week...I am in maternity pants and I have some tops but I can wear a lot of my regular tops still so that's what I wear for work...maternity pants & a cute regular top, the bumps not too big yet:) BUT I have noticed that some of my work out tanks and getting a little short...are they shrinking in the dryer? :)
•Best Moment of the Week: Every week it will now be feeling baby Emil move... But after that I'd say just coming to a calm, positive state about depending on others and releasing some of the "control" that I've always felt I needed to have has been a really good thing for me. I have a wonderful husband that will do anything in the world for me and will make things happen...Although I have known that, letting go a little and let him do his thing, so to speak, has become quite refreshing for me...the control freak... :)
•What I’m excited about/looking forward to: This coming week I'm going to finish cleaning out the guest bedroom so it can be on it's way to baby room... E.J. and I bought the flooring so that is exciting, it should be delivered sometime in the next couple weeks:)
