Baby Girl Cecil- 24 Weeks

The blog has been put on hold while we have been moving. I am now 26 weeks but better late than never. One thing that I have loved about being pregnant is that I get to see my baby girl so often. I have been told by so many people that I am getting spoiled and that I can't expect to have so many ultrasounds every time I am pregnant. Because I was getting ready to move, my doctor in Houston let me have one more ultrasound before the big move to check her growth. I didn't know how long it was going to take me to get into a doctor in Fort Worth so he let me have one more before we left. Eric has been to every doctor appointment and I was so bummed that he had to miss out on this one. He had to travel for work and the doctor could only see me on that one specific day before we had to take off but I was sure to send him pictures of his little baby girl. I was so sad to leave my doctor in Houston but am so glad to have found such a great one in Fort Worth. 

Baby girl was hiding her face from the camera but, she let mommy see her fingers and toes which made me very happy. It is so crazy to see how much she has changed since week 5 and 8. It truly is a little miracle! 

How Far Along?

24 Weeks!! Can't believe it!

Baby Size?

Baby girl is the size of a Cantaloupe. When I went to the doctor she weighed 1 pound 5 oz.

Sick?

Heartburn and little aches and pains here and there but for the most part I am feeling great!

Showing?

Oh yes! This belly of mine is very noticeable now. People say that from the back you can't tell I am pregnant but as soon as I turn around there it is. Eric tells me that it looks like I have a soccer ball under my shirt. 

Maternity Clothes?

Nothing fits and I am just fine with it. I wear lots of leggings and t-shirts, dresses, and skirts. Sometimes it is hard to get dressed in the morning and find something to wear. When I start to get frustrated, I am always reminding myself that I have a healthy baby girl that is growing and I need to snap out of it. It is a good feeling when nothing fits but you have a good reason for it. 

Movement?

Absolutely!! This has been so fun. Every morning after Eric goes to work, I crawl back into bed and love to watch her move around. It has started to look like a tidal wave in there. She is always moving around unless she is sleeping. The kicks just keep getting stronger and I am loving it. I cherish the times that I just get to relax and watch my belly move around.

Making me Sick?

Dealing with raw meat makes me a little queasy. Other than that though, nothing is making me sick at all! Yippee!!

Craving?

Lemonade and Chinese food are now the cravings! I am trying to drink as much water as I am lemonade. Sometimes it is rough but, I am managing. 

Happy, Sad, or Moody?

It is hard to tell how I am going to feel on certain days. Most days, I am happy but I most definitely have my fair share of occasional breakdowns for no reason. I keep reminding my hubby that hormones are a real thing.

Looking Forward to...

Continuing to feel my little baby girl move and getting everything ready for her to get here. I can't believe how soon she will be here. Eric and I are getting into gear and are getting her nursery all ready. I have started to feel a little overwhelmed that I am going to be a mommy to this little child. There is so much responsibility that comes with being a parent but we couldn't be more excited.
