24 weeks

Today : 24 weeks 5 days

Weight Gain : 11.5 lbs

Maternity Clothes : It's a pretty good mix at this point. I'm still small enough to fit in to most of my own shirts, but big enough to fit in to some maternity shirts. The maternity jeans have been doing me a solid for a few weeks now, but I still wear my own yoga pants and sweats. 

Stretch marks : Nope

Sleep : Sleeping more normally since I gave up on the extra pillows, although if Samson is awake, it's only a matter of time before I join the party. 

Sickness : Nada

Movement : Yep, every day. Samson seems to have a fairly consistent sleeping/awake pattern and certain times of day (or night, if you read my last post) seem to be when he is most active. A few days ago I made a video of my stomach moving, I can't imagine how much crazier it is going to look as he gets bigger. Maybe I'm just easily entertained, but I love to poke my belly and watch him kick back. 

Cash pretends he doesn't like sprinkle donut Mondays.

Cravings : My diet is fairly balanced and I try to be very conscious of making healthy choices when it comes to my food most of the time. I definitely notice myself splurging more often than normal, but I really am ok with that. To me that means I'm drinking a Dr. Pepper every few days, having a donut or two once a week, and having treats occasionally that I wouldn't normally have.  I'm still eating lean meat, vegetables, fruit and all the good stuff. I'm not craving anything crazy or doing anything nuts like eating an entire package of Oreos... for now.

How cute is this little girl? Good grief.

Exciting happenings : 24 weeks is the age of viability! It's also the beginning of our 6th month of pregnancy... 4 more months to go!  Aaron traveled for work this week and I got to tag along for the ride. We ended up spending some time with my cousin Elizabeth, her husband Ryan and their little girl Reese. We always have such a good time with them and it's really exciting to think soon enough Samson will be able to join in on the fun! 

Samson also got some fun stuff this week and Cash was nice enough to model them for everyone. Thanks Kami & E! 

Cash heard these were for "the baby," hope he doesn't take it too hard in January...
