Week 24 (or 16 Weeks Left)

I’m in week 24 of my pregnancy, or I have 16 weeks left to my pregnancy, whichever sounds less scary.

• I still have PUPPP and am trying to deal with it.
• BS has learned to pedal kick and has learned to punch and kick at the same time. Fun!
• We haven’t come up with a name for BS yet.
• BS has been more active with moving around in there.
• I’m still amazed that I have he is in me. It just doesn’t seem natural that my baby is in there, growing and feeding off of me.
• BS still only likes the right side, I have no clue why. But I did catch him on the left side yesterday for a split second. Or maybe he’s getting too big to fit on one half.
• My belly button is almost all flat now.
• I’m still not used to sleeping on my left side.
• We’ve started to actively look for a 2 bedroom apartment in the same neighborhood. Yes, we are spoiled.
• I want to go in for some pampering but can’t go for a massage because of the PUPPP (it has slowly moved towards my back) and can’t get a facial because I volunteered to test a product for a month and it would compromise the effectiveness of the product. Drats!
• I think, that for the most part, when I have my coat on, it’s still not really noticeable that I’ve got a pregnant belly.
• I’m still waiting to see one of his body parts to protrude from my belly. I think it will be kind of freaky the first few times, but I can’t wait for it to happen.
• Baby Sham is probably over a pound now and is about the size of a papaya. He’s also starting to sprout nipples.

did you ever read the twilight series? there was a part of one of the books about a baby feeding off of its mother, while still in the womb. in case you want to read it, i dont want to ruin it for.

so when your belly button pops out, does that mean you’re done? and would you make a ‘ding!’ sound?

i haven’t read it yet, but want to. maybe when i’m on maternity leave.

could you imagine if i was done when the belly button pops out?? we are definitely not ready for that yet. it’ll just start peaking out of my shirts.
