How far along: 24 weeks; 2 days
Total weight gain/loss: -3.0, sadly I have not put on any weight this last week, yet I have still gained 3 lbs since the last time I posted...ooops.
Maternity Clothes: I am most comfy in my pants that Candace added a panel for me, but also have a couple other pairs of maternity pants I like. I still wear all my old shirts though.
Stretch Marks: Old ones are grotesque, new ones are visible. =(
Sleep: Can only sleep for a certain number of hours before I give up on getting comfortable.
Best moment this week: Being asked when I was due for the first time...at least people are finally realizing I'm not just extra fat.

Food Cravings: Ruffles Original potato chips with french onion dip...mmmm.
Gender: It's a boy!
Labor Signs: Nada.
Belly Button in or out: Flattenning out, but still in (my layer of fat gives me a nice cushion).
What I miss: Sushi.

Weekly Wisdom: Hurry and get everything done while you still can.
Pictures: Would be interesting to post a picture for you guys, but I would of course have to get all prettified first.

22 Weeks

So the last two weeks have been pretty busy. I had a CPA exam and then have kept myself busy all the other days with little projects either around the house, or for work. Sorry I missed a week, but hopefully will keep going strong from here.

Weekly Survey ~ 22 weeks

How far along: 22 weeks; 3 days
Total weight gain/loss: -6.0, I seem to be putting the lbs on now...need to really focus on what I am consuming.
Maternity Clothes: It's nice that plus size clothes are made very similarly to maternity clothes. I wear maternity pants and even have a pair of those that don't fit too nicely anymore.
Stretch Marks: My old ones are standing out, but definitely have new ones too. I wish my skin was more elastic. Won't ever be wearing bikinis again (oh wait, I haven't worn one since middle school...hee hee).
Sleep: I have had TONS of energy to get things done these last few weeks and I think I have hit my 'nesting' phase, but Andy disagrees. He thinks I will get a lot more neurotic before this is over.
Best moment this week: Andy was able to feel him move this week. It was a really hard kick to me, but Andy barely felt it. I think he is getting excited and wants to feel it as soon as possible.
Movement: Definitely feeling him multiple times a day now.
Food Cravings: Still on a vinegar kick, but I think I may be starting to swell, so I need to watch my salt content.
Gender: It's a boy!
Labor Signs: Nada.
Belly Button in or out: Flattenning out, but still in (my layer of fat gives me a nice cushion).
What I miss: Being able to just relax and not feel like I have 100 things to get done.
What I am looking forward to: Having the nursery finished painted, so I can start organizing and moving things in.
Milestones: Feeling the baby on the outside!
Weekly Wisdom: Accept help wherever it may come from.
Pictures: Avoid at all costs.
