24 Weeks

Yes indeed, I've started decorating for Christmas! I took my belly pic in front of the tree this week just to give proof of the beginnings of our holiday cheer! I realize it's before Thanksgiving, but we're gone so much of Christmas break traveling that I feel like we don't get to enjoy our Christmas decorations if I don't put them up until the week after Thanksgiving. And we head out of town on Friday so I've slowly started getting them put up! (plus, we've already established how much I love Christmas). Now, on to the 24 week update.

Total weight gain: Had a doctor's appt today and found out I've gained 14 pounds!

Maternity clothes: Mostly wearing them everyday, although none of the clothes in the above picture are maternity. My maternity jeans are being washed today so we went the skirt with leggings route :)

Best moment this week: Hearing our little girl's heartbeat at the doctor today! About 140 BPM.

Foods: Nothing revolutionary this week, no strange cravings. I'm trying to force myself to eat more vegetables now, but I'd much rather eat fruit over veggies.

Movement: She's a little dancer in there! She's bouncing around right now to make sure I'm thinking about her as I type!

Gender: Girl :)

Labor signs: Nope.

Belly Button in or out: I can tell we're in the beginning stages of it starting to poke out; probably only a few more weeks till it's out!

What I miss: Carrying things (i.e. laundry basket, Landon, etc.) in front of my stomach without thinking about it.

Milestones: We're pretty sure we've picked our girl's first name! Still working on a middle name though, but you won't find out either till she's here!

Here's a cute video of Landon "helping" me put ornaments on the tree last night:

I would hold an ornament up and ask if he thought that was a good place, and he would say "Uh huh" and then after I'd ask if it looked good and he'd say "Oh yeah!" Every time! So funny. Well, every time till he started getting mad that he wasn't allowed to touch them.
