Week 24

The seven days between week 23 and week 24 were tough! Ethan got sick first with a fever. Then the next day I felt horrible. No fever but I had a runny nose, sore throat, body aches, heartburn and of course morning sickness. Then I developed a terrible cough that was making everyone's life miserable. Not to mention the whole issue of trying to have bladder control as I am coughing every 30 seconds at six months pregnant. Yes, it was an eventful week! On Monday I had another doctor's appointment. We listened to the heartbeat which sounded great. Measured my belly which was right on target. Nothing out of the ordinary. I still haven't gained much weight. Guess that is not surprising considering I am still having morning sickness. But at least I am not losing. Next month I will have another ultrasound to recheck the placenta. At the last ultrasound there was some concern that the placenta was too close to the cervix. So as a precaution the doctor wants to do another ultrasound. I am started to feel really pregnant. You know that stage where you just feel huge and always out of breath. I can't wait for the weather to warm up a little more so I can bring out some new maternity clothes. I am bored with all my long sleeve clothes. In case you were wondering the baby is kicking all the time. I am beginning to think he is playing soccer or doing gymnastics in there. Ha ha! Below are the latest belly pics, but keep in mind I have felt sick all week so it was rather hard for me to smile and look chipper.


still growing.....


Yes, I still need a haircut!

Not sure what I am laughing at......

24 weeks!
