How's it going?

I'm just starting to feel large. My belly feels stretched out near the belly button and my back is starting to ache. I've had a cough for 2+ weeks now that makes me pee myself far too often. Ok, done complaining!

LO's room is starting to come together. We painted all the wood trim white and just need to finish the doors. I scored a dirt cheap changing table this past weekend and plan to order a chest of drawers soon. I really want to order the wall decal but I'm forcing myself to wait until the window treatments and closet are finished.

24 weeks and doc apt

How far along: 24 weeks 6 days

Total weight gain: 15 lbs

How much does baby weigh: around 1.5 lbs

Maternity clothes: All the time.  Some pants are starting to get a bit snug and may need to be retired to the box.  I bought some comfy tanks to wear under shirts and hopefully extend the life of them.  I scored tons of maternity clothes from a coworker who was getting rid of her old stuff.  Thank goodness.  She saved me TONS of $$$

Stretch marks: I haven't seen any new red marks but I'm not so sure I would notice them if they did pop up.

Sleep: I still sleep with the small pillow under my belly each night.  I've started to notice that it's more difficult to lay on my back at night and my arms fall asleep.  I usually flip myself a few times each night to get more comfortable.  Naps are a God-send!

Best moment this week: We're almost finished painting the woodwork in baby's room.  We've primed the baseboards and doors and put one coat of paint on the baseboards.  One more coat is needed on the baseboards and 2 more for the doors.  We've got to fix the blinds and closet next before ordering the wall decal.

Movement: He's pretty consistent at night when I'm relaxing on the couch.  Movements are still very low but frequent.  Chris was able to feel baby earlier in the week.

Food cravings: Not really a craving but Valentine's Day candy is the devil!

Belly button in or out: In but it's getting just a bit shallower

What I miss: Energy.  I had a very difficult work week combined with a nasty cough and I just felt like I could go to sleep so so early each night.  I'm worried to see what happens to my energy level as I progress.

What I'm looking forward to: A nice long, 4 day weekend and, hopefully, having my cough go away!
