I'm sitting here feeling my son move around inside of me. He may be a gymnast the way he just somersaults in there. Lord knows, there is plenty of room. I compared my 24 week with Claire with my 24 week with Dominic. I'm a tad bigger. And by tad, I mean I'm a whale. Just ask my oh-so-kind friend Becca. She called me "large and in charge" yesterday. She told me I won't fit into shirts by Christmas. She said I should just wear a giant garbage bag around because that's all that will fit. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a little. She didn't say ALL that, but she thought it. I can read her mind. I can't walk down the hallway without being winded. I was like that all 3 times though. It's like my lungs are the first to get squished. I love it. I love every second of it. There is less than 15 weeks to my pregnancy, and I know it will be here before I know it. I don't want it to end. I mean, I DO because I want to meet him, hold him, smell him, snuggle him, kiss him, never let him go....but I cherish the moments he's inside of me. I'm selfish that way. He's all mine, all the time. I know every part of him, I know when he's awake and when he's sleeping. When he has the hiccups, and when he's doing the "worm" to make room and get comfortable. I know my days are only going to get more tiring, and I'm completely ok with that.
They say you get less sleep when you are pregnant because your body is preparing to be used to getting up with an infant. Really though, it's my daughter who's preparing my body. She sucks at sleeping lately. She whines and cries when we put her down. If she falls right to sleep, she wakes in the middle of the night, fake crying, whining, for hours. No exaggeration there. The minimal has been 3 hours in the middle of the night. Off and on crying. I'm over that. Promise. She's always been an excellent sleeper. This momma is tired and I can't get up with my almost 3 yr old and a newborn. So I'm just praying God will have some mercy on me and knock her out. Seriously.
Ok, well here's the comparison with Claire and Dominic at 24 weeks:

You do not look like a whale!!! You look fantastic to me. Grant is going through that up all night phase too. Glad to hear I am not the only one - hopefully we can both find a solution soon.
ORRR we'll just have to start chatting in the middle of the night! haha
