24 Weeks: What I Know Now
- So, since my last "what i know now" we found out that we are NOT having a boy, and we are actually having a girl. what are the chances? it's such a crazy story, and so weird. but now that we've had some time to wrap our heads around it, and change our minds to thinking that the same baby we have been calling a boy, is now in fact a girl, we are THRILLED. i am especially excited for rowan, to have a sister.
- we have been trying to convince rowan that the baby in momma's tummy is a girl now. and she just keeps saying, "no, baby BOY!" poor girl, i think we have confused her to no end.
- the dreaded heartburn as started already and i am not happy about it. to the point where i am waking up in the middle of the night gasping for air because i am choking on the acid coming up my throat. i thought i would have a few more weeks of just enjoying pregnancy, but i guess not. ;)
- i've gained 12 lbs so far. still doing pretty good about going to the gym. but seeing as how i've gained 4 more lbs at this point, than when i was pregnant with rowan, maybe i'm not doing as well as i thought.
- i am shocked at how much my chest has grown. when i first found out i was pregnant, i actually felt pain as they grew. i know they got bigger when i was pregnant with rowan, but i never felt like they hurt. boy, this time i really feel it. and i hate it. it just makes me feel bigger and more chubs when they get big like this. sorry for TMI?!?
- baby girls kicks are still so sweet. i love feeling them, but i especially love watching them.
- i am not enjoying the heat of the summer. but we have, for the first time, a pool in our backyard and rowan and i go swimming at least 4-5 times a week. it helps cool me off and take some weight off of the belly.
- we have been busy busy busy lately with spending time with the twinner girls before they leave on their missions. mini vacations, and lots of sister time. we leave our house in the morning, and dont come back til late at night, so i've been SO tired lately! i know it's a combination of the two- busy and pregnant.
- i can't believe we're over halfway, time is going by so fast!
