HOW FAR ALONG: 24 weeks. At our 20 week ultrasound, baby was measuring perfectly on time. But I will most likely be induced early due to my rising blood pressure. Just like big brother.
BABY’S SIZE: A cantaloupe. So he’s about 12 inches long & 1.5 pounds.
WEIGHT GAIN: 6 lbs
SLEEP: Aside from waking up to go to the bathroom 3 times a night, I’m doing pretty good. Baby has started moving quite a bit around 4 AM & 8 AM, so I usually wake up around those times.
SYMPTOMS: I’m passed getting sick. YAY! But I’ve started getting pretty terrible charlie horses in the middle of the night.
FOOD CRAVINGS: Tacos 😀
STRETCH MARKS: Nothing new since about week 16.
MOVEMENT: He is active what feels like all day long. Hopefully it stays this way outside the womb. He stays pretty quiet & still in there at night.
NAMES: I don’t know why we’re struggling so much this time to come up with names. Choosing Hayes’ name seemed easy peezy compared to this time around! We, of course, have a few names in mind, but who knows, they could changed drastically in the next 15ish weeks.
It still hasn’t hit me that we will have two little dudes to chase around in a couple years. Hayes keeps me on my toes already. I can’t imagine keeping track of two. Let alone trying my darnedest to nurse this time around & keeping Hayes from starting my house on fire while I’m “boob shackled” as my sister says. HA! But, we’ll do it &, crazily, I’m excited to be surrounded by boys! I’d obviously love to have one little miss running around here amongst the craziness someday, but I guess we’ll see 🙂
