Since we are almost in our 3rd trimester (already, eek!) I wanted to start doing a weekly pregnancy survey, just for shits and grins. Here goes!
How far along: 24 weeks 4 days
How big is baby: according to The Bump, he's about the size of a cantaloupe.
.
Total weight gain: none yet...actually down 2 from when I started
Maternity clothes: Oh yeah...especially jeans. I tried to put on a pair of my pre-pregnancy jeans the other day....no way jose!
Sleep: eh...at night it's not so good just because my hips hurt and getting up to pee every 2 hours, but if I can get a nap in during the day -which I usually do- I sleep pretty well
Best moment of the week: feeling baby kick So hard that my belly shook...it was pretty funny
Food cravings: Anything spicy, cheese, jello
Food aversions: Chinese food...blech!
Symptoms: hip pain, leg cramps, constipation, headaches, backaches....
Movement: He is a busy little boy. I feel him all day, but especially in the evenings when I am sitting/laying down.
What I’m looking forward to: My brother's wedding at the end of next month...can't wait to get out of town and away from work!
What I miss: Not a thing...
Next appointment: Thursday...been going every week this month due to factors that I mentioned in my previous post about work affecting my pregnancy health...

Catching Up
Hello Lovers! I hope you are all doing well. It's been a long time since I have posted anything. Lots has been going on here.
For starters...we found out that we are having a baby boy! Precious little Hogan David will be blessing us with his presence in September and we are completely thrilled! I love feeling him move around inside of me...all the rolls and kicks and jabs...it's amazing. I love this boy so very much already.
Work is excruciatingly painful...my job makes me extremely miserable and I am counting the days until I can quit. I have decided to stick it out until Hogan is born and find something else while on maternity leave. So if you hear of anything amazing in my area, friends, let me know! I would love to be a stay at home mom, but unfortunately that just isn't in the cards for now. As I have said before, my job is physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing...I just can't do it anymore. And finally...my job is affecting my health, and my doctor is quite concerned...but I can't quit, so he is trying to work with me...he keeps telling me that it will get better, because it can't get any worse...(haha) His first advice to me was to "Just tell em' to fuck off". I still may take that advice...I could go on and on, but I will spare you, I have complained enough already.
The truth is even though I am completely miserable with "life"...I am so unbelievably happy with my husband and the life I have growing inside of me...that it almost completely wipes out the misery...at least for awhile. Sure I have bad days...awful days. But the second I get home from work, put my feet up and feel those amazing movements...it all goes away in that moment and I am happy. He and Jay make my life worth living...they make it worth getting up and out of bed every day. (which is getting more and more difficult every day...since I am tired and the increasing swell over my midsection is hard to maneuver, haha) I am so in love with the both of them...and if they are all I have left at the end of every day...I will die an amazingly happy woman.
