24 Weeks - Baby Koch #2

• How far along?: 24 weeks, 3 days

• Baby is the size of a: an eggplant! (according to Ovia pregnancy app)

• Total weight gain/loss: +5 pounds I think?  It was +3 at my last doctors appoint a week ago

• Stretch Marks? One small, white one on my side?  Not sure if I never noticed it before, or if this babe is going to wreck havoc.

• The Bump: Fully formed and low!  This lil man needs to move up already!

• Symptoms: Headaches only about once a week.  HORRAY! Lots of baby movement and pregnancy pee during the night.

• Food cravings: Caramel apples and anything else sweet

• Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: I still don't "crave" chicken, but I can eat it.

• Sleep: Between Amelia getting her pacifier taken away and frequent nighttime bathroom breaks, I think I am only getting 8 hours now.

• What I miss: Sleeping through the night!  But... it's been almost 2 years since that was a thing.

• Weddings Rings On or Off: Definitely on

• Any Names Picked Out Yet:  Narrowing it down! We have one favorite, but I am still not sold.

• Gender: BLUE baby BOY!

• Movement: Tons and tons!  This little man is constantly on the go.  I can feel him kicking my hand best when I am laying down, but occasionally sitting as well.  Grandma Jamie even got to feel him kick over the weekend (Amelia would never cooperate and she missed out!).

• Maternity Clothes: My bigger jeans, the hair-tie trick and a few maternity pants.  Shirts still fit perfectly thankfully!

• Labor Signs: Maybe a few Braxton Hicks?  But I never had anything with Amelia so I am doubting it's really that.

• Best Moment of the week:  Getting to spend the weekend with my mom, having her feel little man kick, and getting to "sleep through the night" minus bathroom breaks!

• Feeling: Excited!  The more he moves, the more I can't wait to meet him!

• What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Halloween this weekend and taking Amelia Trick-or-Treating for the first time!  Growth Ultrasound next Wednesday to check on lil man due to placenta issues.  Daddy has a four day weekend which will be amazing!
