24 week update


24 weeks (!!!)

148 pounds

Still sleeping great. 

I feel like I could eat everything in sight most days :) 

Erik got to SEE baby kicking last night! His reaction: "Eww, gross." I scolded him not to call his baby gross. So he changed his tone to, "Woah, creepy!" Baby movements seriously freak him out. I wish he'd get over it. I've noticed on more than one occasion that baby will 'play' with me. When I poke it, it pokes back! 

I still have quite a bit of energy. My lower back has started hurting toward the end of the day which sucks, but it could be much worse.

I've started noticing a few painless contractions here and there every few days.

(!!!) 24 weeks is actually a pretty big milestone week. In many hospitals, 24 weeks is the cutoff point for when doctors will use intensive medical intervention to attempt to save the life of a baby born prematurely. 



Here's a fun comparison.

Baby is the size of a cantaloupe this week.

10.5 to 11.8 inches

12.7 to 20.8 ounces
