24 weeks...

I can't believe we only have 16 more weeks (roughly) until Presley is going to be here! I can't wait!!

How far along: 24 weeks
How Big: Presley's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts her at just over a pound. Since she's almost a foot long picture a ear of corn. she cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but her body is filling out proportionally and she'll soon start to plump up.

Weight Gain: yes just got weighed on Tuesday and I have gained 19 pounds since my first weigh in on December 8th, 2011.
Stretch Marks: Nothing that I can see yet
Maternity Clothes: all pants now, some maternity shirts
Sleep: Not sleeping good this week, all I want to do is lay on my tummy cause thats the only time I feel comfortable this week. I guess no more laying on my tummy until Presley gets here.
Symptoms: heartburn pretty much every day no matter what I eat or drink
Best Moment this Week: Buying Presley more clothes and having my Uncle Dave come over and sheetrocked the ceiling of Presley's closet, now I just need to get Robbie to finish the rest.
Food Cravings: Sweet tart Gummies still. YUMMY

Food dislikes: frozen meals still, I think that will always be my dislike through this pregnancy
Gender: TEAM PINK, Honey and I love being ahead of the boys again.
Movement: she's a little mover for sure, trying to keep track when so that we can go back to fetal fotos to see her.
What I miss: Snowboarding, we got tons of snow the last two days and all I can think about is boarding.
Belly Button: still normal
What I am looking forward to: We only have a few more weeks left of second trimester. I'm excited for the 3rd trimester because it means we are getting so close to meeting her. Oh yeah and going to start out 3rd trimester class on April 5th.
Milestone:  Her brain is also growing quickly now, and her taste buds are continuing to develop. Her lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help her air sacs inflate once she hits the outside world. Her skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
