24 Weeks

Today I am:

 6 Months Pregnant...Or 24 Weeks!  Chugging right along!

 And our Mason is now the size of an ear of corn!

And this is what he is looking like in there this week:

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along:  24 Weeks...6 Months!

Size of Baby:  An ear of corn

Most dramatic development this week:  Baby's weekly weight gain is now about 6oz.  By now, his face is fully formed and he has a good sprinkling of hair on that sweet head.

Total weight gain:  9lbs

Gender:  It's a BOY...Mason William DeYoung

Movement:  Yes and they are getting stronger by the day.  I am now feeling him move and what feels like cut flips instead of just little kicks.  Josh felt some movement (like a wave motion) this week and my mom got to feel him kick and move for the first time!  Loving all this movement.  

Sleep:  Still fairly well

Cravings:  Back to country veggies....and enjoying Juicy Juice still.

Sick or queasy:  Still smells, especially in the morning on an empty stomach.  Been throwing up now about once or twice a week, which isn't to bad I don't think.

Symptoms:  Just reflux which is pretty well controlled with my friend Zantac.

Best moment of the week:  Registering for our sweet boy, starting to talk about Baby showers and finalizing plans for the nursery.

Looking forward to:  Our busy week next week...Painter coming, interior designer coming to finalize bedding/window tx and the furniture will be delivered.  So exciting!
