Weeks that is not age (I WISH!). You start out on this journey and set these little milestones as you go praying every step of the way that you can successfully reach each one. Here I am at 24 weeks and I can't even begin to thank God enough for this amazing blessing. I know I have a long ways to go, but I never thought I would get here. I am so so happy! I love this little precious baby girl and continue to pray that she grows big, strong and healthy.
I realized I filled out a questionnaire way back at week 15 and never did another one so here it is for your enjoyment.
QUESTIONAIRE
How far along: 24 wks 3 days
Total weight gain/loss: + 15 lbs
Maternity clothes: Absolutely, would die without them
Stretch marks: No and praying it stays that way
Sleep: Getting to be a bit more difficult. I have pretty bad sciatica from walking countless miles on the beach for the past 13 years and boy has it gotten worse these past couple of weeks. And don't let someone tell you walking on the beach is good for you. Sure maybe here and there! But other than that it could be worst.
Best moment last week: Reaching 24 weeks and finishing putting baby girls furniture together.
Movement: Our little princess took a bit to really get going but over the past few days she's been moving way more! Daddy has finally starting feeling her and we could actually see her move from the outside today!!
Food cravings: None really. When I do get in the mood for something though I want it immediately.
Food aversions: Still any green vegetables.
Gender: Baby Girl!!!
Labor Signs: Heck No! Some BH but only if I don't drink enough water.
Belly Button in or out: Well I guess it's technically still in but just barely.
What I miss: My agility
What I am looking forward to: Feeling her move more and more
Milestones: Reaching viability
And here is a pic of how I'm looking these days!

You look beautiful!
How is your breastfeeding class going? I actually became a lactation consultant a few years ago, and I love it. Some moms get it right off the bat, and others don't. I'm glad you found a support group. I miss the classes. They don't have anything like that out here in the middle of nowhere!
