Anyway, here's the update :)
Baby is the Size of a: Last week he was a large mango and this week he is either an ear of corn or a cantaloupe. It's so funny that we compare the baby's size to food. Basically, he's humongous and almost a foot long and 1.5 pounds! The baby app said that his brain waves are similar to those of a newborn, so that means he can actually have conscious thought and memory. He's SO smart!!!
Cravings: Still not having any weird cravings. I mainly just want carbs and plain food.
Food Aversions: Still not loving food in general. I can eat pretty normal during the day, but I always have to be careful what I eat for dinner because it's most likely coming up...
Symptoms: I go through waves of feeling okay and then feeling terrible. Last week I was puking 2-3 times every day for 5 days straight and that was pretty much miserable. But now I've gone 3 days without puking, so I'm grateful for the days when I feel a little better! But I'm still nauseous every day, even though I'm taking two "miracle" drugs that supposedly stop nausea. Ha! I also woke up a few nights ago with a terrible charlie horse and Landon just had to rub my leg to make it go away. It killed! And now my leg is still all tight. I feel like my body is just a mess haha.
Fears: SO many haha. But I also just found out at my last doctor's appointment that he won't induce me until a week after my due date. I have SO many problems with this... 1) He's going to be huge and I don't want a 10 pound baby 2) He'll be born close to Mother's Day so that means for the rest of his life, his birthday will always be around or ON Mother's Day. I could care less about giving my baby the spotlight on Mother's Day, but what about his future wife?! I'm stressing. 3) He's going to be huge. Anyway, I had my first dream about him the other night! I have been wanting to dream about him forever. In my dream he was born a week late and he was like the size of a toddler. And after I fed him, he picked up his burp cloth and started wiping his mouth!!!! I just started sobbing and saying, "see! He's too advanced! He's too advanced because he came a week after his due date! He shouldn't know how to wipe his mouth! He's not even a baby anymore!" hahaha! I guess I'm just really worried that if he's born late I'll miss the whole newborn/baby stage ;)
General Mood: So so happy. And everything makes me cry haha.
Sleep: Always sleepy and always ready for a nap haha. I love how much sleep I'm getting though! Since I work from home, I get to sleep in until just before 8 and then roll out of bed and start working. It's AMAZING how much extra sleep I get just because I work from home. It's a miracle actually.
Maternity Clothes: I think I've gotten dressed maybe 4 times over the past few weeks. Haha I just live in jammies or yoga pants :)
Movement: So much! Sometimes I feel him jabbing in two different places at once, so I swear he's like kicking his arms and legs out at the same time. He's just a busy boy and I really can't get over his kicks and punches. They're my FAVORITE. I love it when he wakes up and starts moving. With every jab my heart just grows even more with love for this baby. I can't even explain it, but I just love carrying this sweet boy around with me all day! He also totally knows Landon's voice and gets really wiggly when Landon talks to him. It's the cutest thing in the world.
Looking Forward To: I keep saying I'm going to get started on his nursery, and this time I really mean it. We just bought the paint for his crib so I can't wait to get that painted and set up. I have a few other ideas for his room, but it's not going to be anything too fancy :)
And here are the bump pictures. I'm really just SO big. I look like I'm 34 weeks along instead of 24!!
You're funny and adorable!!
