How Big is Little Miss: Weeks 22-24: Baby girl is as big as a papaya, about 10.5-11.8 inches long and 12.7-20.8 ounces (thebump.com).
Weight Gain: Maybe around +3.
Symptoms: Heartburn, aching back in exactly the same ways as before with the girls (mostly on the left side, right under the shoulder blade), sore boobies, peeing a lot.
Emotions: Fine! Whenever I see a newborn now, I get all excited and can't wait to hold a new precious little girl in my arms!
Best Moment of the Week: I can't think of anything, so of course just being thankful for being able to carry another baby! I always said that I didn't see the girls pregnancy being my only pregnancy and I prayed that I would be able to have another baby and hoped it would be naturally, and I am so thankful and so grateful that God chose us to be parent's again. I get choked up sometimes thinking about that! I still can't believe I have three beautiful daughters, let alone another on the way! It literally blows my mind to think I am a mom to four miracle daughters! I could have never asked for more in life! God blessed me more than I can ever repay!
Movement: LOTS! All of the time! This Little Miss is a gymnast! Tim felt her a few times too! We can't believe there is another little girl on the way to join our family and it is so exciting feeling her move!
Maternity Clothes: Of course! Every comments about how small I am this time, with only carrying one baby...yeah, it's crazy! I barely feel pregnant sometimes when I look at myself!
Stretchmarks: Not anymore new ones....amen!
Cravings: Can't think of anything! I'll just take any food, especially if someone else makes it for me!
Aversions: Can't think of anything!
Gender: A Little Miss...that seems will never have a name!
What I Miss: Wine! Especially since my MIL just got back from upstate New York visiting 30 wineries and brought back so much wine, I have to wait to drink my big bottle until next year! Blah! No fun, so instead I've been eating the winery grapes that taste JUST like the wine, but without the alcohol! I LOVE those grapes!
Sleep: Fine, taking naps almost daily since I am so tired after playing with the girls, cooking, cleaning, laundry...oh and getting up four hundred times each night!!
What I am Looking Forward to: Getting closer to meeting this Little Miss! I can't wait to see who she looks like and figure out what her name will be!!!
Here is my bump photo (taken yesterday!) and comparison to the girls at 22 weeks and 23 weeks! I was SO big then...and there was NO stopping it!!!!

People comment on how small you are this time?? lol, I think you look almost as big as you were with the girls! I actually can't believe how much you have been showing this whole time with just one baby! You for sure look very pregnant. In a good way. Just belly. But you are the size that some people are when they are, like, 35 weeks!
ReplyDeleteYou look great!

ReplyDeleteLauren's comment doesn't sound like a compliment at all. That should have been left unsaid. You look great!
