- How far along? Twenty Four Weeks, time is flying by. Yikes!
- Baby Size? Size of a Cantaloupe
- Total weight gain? 15lbs
- Maternity clothes? Yep
- Stretch Marks? I am still stretch mark free but my belly is really starting to get bigger by the day so I am making sure to put on lots of lotion. Also, I officially have the line on my belly called Linea Negra.
- Best moment this week? Spending some down time at home this past week. I was finally able to catch up on laundry and decorate for Christmas. The tree is up and so are the stockings. It's beginning to look a lot like Xmas at Casa de Velez. Oh how I love the holidays. Also, we found out that the babe loves loud music. She likes to party in her womb. We went to a music event this week in Bogota called Premio Shock. Carlos Vives sang and the babe was dancing all around. We also had a wedding in Cartagena where she danced around the whole time to the DJ's. It's such a cool experience to feel her bouncing all around. The pic above is from Cartagena.
- Miss anything? Not that I can think of.
- Food cravings? Nothing specific.
- Babe Movement? She is really moving and kicking around. The hubs can now feel her from the outside and you can see my belly move when she kicks. She loves to come to life at night and start karate class when I am ready to go to sleep but I love feeling her move around. She also gets the hiccups once a day and that's a crazy feeling.
- Food aversions? None
- Gender? Chica
- Labor signs? Nope, but we start all our breathing and baby prepping classes at the end of January. I am so ready....its really sinking in that I will have to give birth to this baby. Scary!
- Symptoms? Still having swollen feet which I think will continue from this point forward and starting to get lower backaches now that my belly is getting bigger.
- Sleep? Sleeping good but it takes a little longer to fall asleep now that she's kicking pretty hard at bedtime.
- Belly button in or out? I still have an innie. I don't think an outtie is in the cards for me.
- Wedding rings on or off? Wedding bands on.
- Happy or moody? Happy and Excited.
- Looking forward to? Starting to get the nursery together. We are hoping that her furniture arrives this week.
