How Far Along: 24 Weeks
Size of the baby: Baby Barrett is now the size of an eggplant, approx..9 inches long & approx 1.7lbs.
Total Weight Gain/loss: I have gained 10lbs (as of my last doctors appointment, I don't really want to get on the scale at home). My belly is growing everyday. I swear when I wake up the morning it has grown overnight.
Maternity Clothes: I can still wear some of my longer shirts, but most of my pants are now maternity or stretchy yoga pants. However, I have found that now that my belly is bigger I can use the belly band to hold up some of my non maternity pants, yay for more wardrobe options =). I am still totally in LOVE with leggings and sweaters.
Gender: SURPRISE!! We are not going to find out till Baby Barrett arrives in May! We have lots of guessing going on in the family, right now we are pretty split.
Movement: Definitely have been feeling movement. Baby B is moving all day long now. It is such an amazing feeling to feel baby flipping and kicking all day long. Hubs loves to feel Baby B move. First thing he does in the morning is roll over and poke at my stomach until Baby B kicks his hand. I would be mad because usually I am still trying to sleep but he starts laughing so much I don't have the heart to be upset =)
Sleep: Sleeping horribly. I cannot remember the last time I got a good night's sleep. I finally gave in and had hubs purchase a pregnancy body pillow. I can't wait to try it out tonight. Here's to hoping for a great nights sleep!
What I miss: Not having smells literally have me running for the bathroom. Not getting heartburn. Not having my back throb =(
Cravings: Ummm... nothing in particular this week.
Symptoms: Lower back pain. All the sudden I have terrible lower back pain that will not go away regardless of what I do.
Best moment this week: Spending a Superbowl Sunday surrounded by my family. It was a perfect day!

I loved my body pillow although my hubby didn't. Also try a heating pad on your back. Looking good.
