24 weeks.

Happy Belated Viability Day, my sweet Camy. 

24 weeks is the magical milestone I have been waiting for.. the point in the pregnancy where your little life would have a chance of surviving in the outside world (should anything happen early). 

Now lets be clear, Camryn. You do NOT have permission to make an early appearance. Ya got that?

You stay put in there, where you can continue to grow and mature safely, for at least 14ish more weeks. 

Its just a comfort for me and Daddy to know that your fragile little life has a shot at this point. 

So, Happy V-Day my love. 

• How far along?: 24 wks, 1 day
  
• Total weight gain: 17 pounds. Oh my word. I think I may be at the high end of the allowed 25-35lbs, if I don't surpass the range all together. :/
• How big is baby?: At our ultrasound 11 days ago, Baby Girl was measuring in at "just over a pound". Babycenter says that she probably gained about 4oz between week 23 and week 24, so I guess that would put her at about 1 1/4 lbs! Wow. She should be about a foot long, from head to toe. 
• Maternity clothes?:  We are now in all maternity, all the time.  Well, I take that back.. I have a few pairs of lounge pants/shorts I can still wear, but only around the house. 
• Stretch marks?: None on the belly.. but LOTS on the boobs. That is a recent development, within the last week or 2, and I am not a fan. They are pink/purple and all over!!! In fact, they are so bad that I am thinking I may not be able to find a swimsuit that would cover them (and trust me, they need to be covered!). I will be highly disappointed if that's the case because I have been so looking forward to spending the dog days of summer in the ILs pool. :(
• Sleep?: Huh? Sleep? I'm confused?? Is sleep possible during pregnancy? ;) I am NOT sleeping well these days. I get restless legs every.single.night, which makes it very difficult to fall asleep. I still wake up several times a night to either get up and pee, or to change positions (which is QUITE a chore). I have also started having some crazy dreams again.. so I often wake up from a dream and then sit there thinking about it unable to fall back asleep. 
• Best moment this week?: Celebrating Mother's Day with my amazing husband and his family. I was so touched by everyone making it a point to celebrate with us this year, and I love the card "from Camryn" and the gift from my MIL. 
• Movement?: Baby Camryn is a mover and shaker!!! And I love every minute of it. She has found my bladder, which I could do without, but at this point its still more amusing to me than it is a nuisance. Her movements feel much bigger and stronger now (which doesn't surprise me given her size) and I love love getting to watch my belly dance. 
• Food cravings?: I've been eating a lot of salads lately. And I've also been craving lots of grilled veggies. :)
• Labor signs?: None so far! Thank goodness. Hope it stays that way for a while longer!
• Belly button in or out?: When I'm standing, the top of my belly button sticks out. When I'm sitting or standing though, its still an innie. 
• What I miss: Sleep. Wine. Sleep. Coffee. Sleep. 
• What I'm looking forward to: Lots to look forward to in the next few weeks! This weekend our wonderful friends from Houston will be staying with us and I can't wait to spend some time with them! The 24th is our 1 year wedding anniversary/5 year dating anniversary. :) We are going to get massages at a day spa.. can't wait! On the 27th I will be getting my hair done and then we will be doing a Maternity Mini-Session to get some photos for our shower invites. 
• Milestone: Viability Day!!!
