24 Weeks

Ben leaves tomorrow with my family to go skiing in Colorado. Sara, Arlo and I are being left behind with the dogs. If only I wasn't already 3 days in the hole with time off. I'll probably pout a lot and pace around the house but thankfully I have my pup to keep me company at night. Ben and I went for a walk a few nights ago and I'm not quite as agile on the ice. I really, really, really can't for the snow and ice to melt and stay away until next winter. I don't have other interesting news this week...I think I'm bored.


How far along: 24 weeks

Maternity Clothes: Now that it's getting warmer I'm starting to notice that the shirts I thought would fit do not fit.

Stretch Marks: None. I found a lotion I love by California Baby. Ben said I smell like a hippy (chamomile and calendula) but he likes it. I'd rather smell like a hippy than a bath and body works store. Yuck.

Sleep: I've been having the most bizarre dreams. Cans of tennis balls that have dachshund puppies inside, walking on my hands through the mall and opening doors for people with my hair. What the heck...

Best Moment this Week: Finding out that the little one's heart is healthy at our appt. on Wednesday.

Movement: Lots of kicking around 8:30 every night.

Food Cravings: Apples. Honeycrisp or pink lady, please.

Gender: Still unknown!

Labor Signs: None

Belly Button: My belly button makes a kissy face when I push around it. It feels a little sore by the end of the day.

What I Miss: Spicy tuna sushi roll.

What I'm Looking Forward to this Week: Wedding dress shopping with Kel and Kristin.

Weekly Wisdom: It's okay if you can't help but moan during a back scratch, even when you're sleeping.
