24 Weeks

 

What a change! My uterus is now a size of a soccer ball, and looks even bigger in this picture.  People are definitely staring at it now, as if I’m some kind of an alien, and I don’t know why.  I was never that curious with pregnant women myself.

Not only my uterus is growing, but my whole body too.  I have not worked out in the past two weeks due to being pretty sick, and I think I gained much more than recommended 1 pound a week.  I don’t have a scale, so no idea on what my total weight gain is, but will ask my doctor next week when I go for my 25-week appointment.

In regards to the baby, it is definitely much bigger and stronger, and yesterday me and Sasha could see it pushing parts of my belly out and then back in, and then back out again!  So exciting! Before we were only able to feel it from the outside, and now we can actually see the action.  Little guy is a size of an ear of corn, so no wonder he’s doing this amazing performance for us.

Time flies and we now have about 16 weeks ’till the due date, and less than four weeks ’till the ‘joys’ of the third trimester.
