24 weeks


I'm 24 weeks today. Viability day- if the baby was to be born now, he would have a chance of survival. Obviously, a child born this early would have many problems, and we don't want this little boy coming out for quite awhile yet! Please just wait until December, little boy!

I bought baby clothes for the first time this weekend. Just a few clearance onesies from Target- they were so cute, I just couldn't resist! Of course, there's really nowhere to put these clothes yet, so for now, they're sitting in the bag, on the floor of my closet. It's been almost 6 weeks, so I think the dresser/changing table should be arriving soon. (I was told it would take 4-8 weeks.)

I'm feeling fine. I don't feel as ravenous as I did a month or so ago. I don't think I will have gained as much weight at my next appointment- I'd kind of had a growth spurt over the 8 weeks from about week 13 until week 21. I think my weight gain is slowing down now (which is definitely good, because I'd already gained too much). I continue to get heartburn about once a day, usually from totally random things that don't seem like they should cause heartburn (like bagels... weird). But, all in all, I feel pretty good!

I got heartburn from turkey sandwiches-just turkey and bread. Weird. Tums were my best friend-worked like a charm. Pop made the heartburn worse too.

You look great! Don't worry about the weight, it'll come back off!
