24 Weeks

I had a doctor's appointment to check in on Baby Brother on April Fool's Day.  It was a little strange though, because the doctor's office (entire OB/GYN group) moved across the hospital campus.  However, I found where I was supposed to go no problem.  Baby Brother checked out well!  Good strong heartbeat and a healthy momma, what more could one ask for? 

How far along: 24 weeks

Have you started to show yet: Yep!!
Total weight gain/loss: From my first appointment to today, I am +4.8 pounds.
Belly Button in or out? IN
Rings on/off: On, but snug today.  I am starting to have some swelling.  I figure it's due to salt from the weekend.

Size of Baby: About 12 inches and estimated at 16 ounces - The size of an ear of corn!
Weird Changes: the feeling of his hiccups
Sleep: The girls still keep me up more nights than being pregnant at this point.
Best moment this week: Daddy started feeling the baby move on Sunday!
Movement: high and low, not much between
Stretch marks? Nothing new yet
Food cravings: rice!
Food aversions: Fish, shrimp, and anything fishy smelling!
Gender prediction: The ultrasound revealed external genitalia
What I miss: sleeping on my belly / bladder capacity
What I am looking forward to: Jenna and Shelby feeling the baby kick
Name options:  right now, Baby Brother
