24 Weeks

How far along? 24 weeks tomorrow. I can’t believe it!

Maternity clothes? Still mixing and matching maternity and non maternity. It’s getting tough because most of my maternity stuff is for the summer, and it’s 10 degrees here! But I am looking at my 24 week photo with Hudson right now and I’m wondering where that cute top is! I need to pull out my maternity stuff again and re-evaluate. 
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Still have some pregnancy insomnia and Hudson has had a cold and hasn’t been sleeping well. Which means I’m up for at least 2 hours in the middle of the night. No fun at all. 
Best moment this week:  Feeling lots and lots of kicks from this active little boy or girl has totally been the best. I went to the dentist yesterday and made my next appointment….which by that time I’ll have TWO kids! Crazy town!
Miss Anything? Sleep! 
Movement: Yep, lots of movement up in here! This kid is active and likes to party all night. 
Food cravings: Still craving cottage cheese and I want to drink Arnold palmers (tea/lemonade) all the time. Oh, and ice cream. And pie.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Still getting sick randomly. I had a rough day yesterday and basically spent all day on the couch. And driving is still tough too. 
Gender: We’ll find out in June!
Labor Signs: None.
Symptoms: Just the bump and feeling tired!
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: Pretty good overall. Sometimes I forget I’m pregnant and then see myself in the mirror or feel a big kick and it catches me off guard. I feel a lot more distracted this pregnancy, probably because I’m spending so much time chasing around and caring for a two year old! But I’m so excited for this baby and love him/her just as much!
Looking forward to:  I can tell you I’m NOT looking forward to my glucose test today! Fingers crossed that I pass…because if I have to say no to ice cream and pie I might loose my mind. I am honestly just looking forward to having this baby already…I can’t wait!

  1. OH my goodness, you are so stinking cute in that picture lady. I love the outfit!

    Sending you good sleep vibes. I know I"m a mess when I don't get sleep, I can't imagine being pregnant, too! Hope your lil one feels better soon!

    xoxo

  2. Love that sweet baby belly! Grow, baby, grow!!!

    I am dealing with the insomnia too and it is ROUGH. It's hard to function normally all day after sleeping so little. You'd think after so little sleep and then chasing a toddler all day, I'd collapse into bed at night. But no. Instead, I lay down and feel wide awake. So frustrating! So I feel ya, girl!

    Wishing you luck on your glucose test today. I'm sure all will be well:)

  3. I was having insomnia around that time too. Hopefully it will go away soon! Pregnant and sleep deprived is a cruel joke. Good luck on your test today, I was diagnosed with GD after mine..and yeah, it sure sucks not being able to eat sweets. 🙁 I'm sure you'll be okay!

  7. Ahhh precious!! You are the cutest. Good luck on the glucose test! I failed the first one with Kennedy and passed with Caroline!!

  10. Your bump is too cute for words!! And I have decided to root for team girl because I reeeeally would be sad if your good hair genes didn't get passed down to a little girl.

  12. You look great! I just did the glucose test yesterday (I am 28 weeks). You look great and I hear ya about forgetting that you are pregnant. My two year old keeps my attention most of the time, and then when I look in the mirror it is like Whoa!

  13. You look amazing! Am I crazy to say this makes me want to be pregnant again? Probably. Hope the glucose test wasn't too bad. That was always the worst.

  15. Playing blog catch up here.. you look great! So awesome you are still mixing maternity and non maternity clothes. Boo to poor sleep — hope by now you're getting some!! And I still can't believe you are waiting to find out the gender at birth — that's so awesome!

24 Weeks

How far along? 24 weeks. Baby can hear me when I talk…and can also hear loud noises like sirens and Wrigley barking!
Maternity clothes? Yes and no. I need maternity tops mostly for the length! I think it’s time for a shopping spree. 
Stretch marks? Not yet. 
Sleep: Still sleeping like a rock and loving my body pillow. Sophie loves to sleep on the body pillow too….it’s so cute.
Best moment this week:  Hearing the baby’s heartbeat (and confirmation that we have a wiggle worm on our hands!), getting the stupid glucose test over with, and seeing my belly move when he kicks. It is SO strange!
Miss Anything? Sleeping on my stomach.
Movement: Lots of kicks and movement in there.
Food cravings: I’m still craving chocolate milk like nobody’s business!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really. 
Gender: Baby boy.
Labor Signs: None.
Symptoms: No leg cramps this week! Stretching before bed, drinking extra water (I already drink a TON) and eating a banana a day seemed to have helped. The only real symptom this week is the ever growing belly. I work in higher education and my students have been on break for several weeks. Now that they are back in class and I finally have a belly it’s so funny to see them realize I’m pregnant!   
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: Happy

Looking forward to: Registering (maybe this weekend if we have time) and finishing up the dresser for the baby’s room.

Wrigley is happy the baby can hear him too!

  2. Awe! Wrigley can officially say hi to the little mr!! I love the squirmy wormy you have in there- it's amazing to feel them move and grove!

  3. I'm betting Wrigley is going to LOVE on this little guy when he arrives! You look absolutely amazing and I'm glad the leg cramping has cleared up – I sometimes have issues with restless legs and I can understand how frustrating that is!

  4. Julie you look amazing!!!! I LOVE seeing the weekly updated picture and reading the news 🙂 Kinda makes me miss being pregnant. So happy for you the glucose test is over. You're doctor is awesome for letting you take it home and not fasting. Registering wasn't the most exciting time for me, it was too overwhelming! I ended up doing a lot online after I read reviews, etc., but that could just be the crazy in me. Good luck!

  5. You do look amazing, love your bump! YEAH for hearing the strong heartbeat and seeing those kicks… so cool!

  8. Your bump pictures are too cute – that bump is adorable!! Also a big fan of Wrigley getting in on the action 🙂

    Where do you plan on registering? I have casually started one on Amazon, but I don't think everyone will be comfortable ordering online.

  9. You are seriously the cutest!! I love your weekly pictures and I am definitely loving how Wrigley made it this week. So cute!! You look great for 24 weeks 🙂

  10. aghh..the adorableness is overwelming. Wrigley is just the cutest! That is so cool the babes can hear him now 🙂 still looking adorable!

  12. Awww Wrigley is SOOO cute!! Isn't is crazy to see him move around in there? Baby Schue has been putting on quite the show lately…it's awesome! Glad the cramps went away and that you're feeling great!! 🙂
