24 Weeks

How far along: 24 Weeks (4 days, but who's counting)

Countdown: 108 days

Exercise: Think I'll either go for a long walk or a bike ride today.

Stretch marks: Not yet (knock on wood)

Sleep: Weird dreams, wake up 3 or 4 times to pee, trouble getting back to sleep leads to watching tv or reading in bed which no doubt is effecting Jay's sleep.

Best Moment of the Week: Getting back to teaching Couples Massage Workshops!

Worst Moment of the Week: The appearance of the dreaded linea negra. And it's crooked. Also first few episodes of moderate back pain.

Movement: Picking up more flutters here and there.

Food Cravings: Pickles are still a staple of my diet. Also, ice cream sandwiches.

Food Adversions: Tomatoes, which is a shame because our neighbor grew some really good looking tomatoes last week. Jay grilled them with mozzerella cheese and all I ate was the cheese.

Gender: He's all boy. Chinese Gender Calendar was right.

Belly Button in or out: Innie, larger than normal, but still concave.

What I Miss: Sleeping on my stomach.

What am I Looking Forward To: Prenatal massage later today!

About the Baby This Week: If growing according to BabyCenter.com standards, he's gained about 4 ounces since last week making him weigh a little over a pound! Stretching about a foot long he is the size of an ear of corn. In developmental news, the brain, the taste buds, and the lungs are this week's overachievers. His skin is still translucent, but that will change soon!
