Pregnancy Week 24

Pregnancy Week 24

Sarah too pooped to poop

The bigger Squirt gets the less room Sarah has to fill her lungs with air. This makes her tired.

At 24 weeks, he has a fully formed face and the ability to hear. He is about 10.5 inches long—about the size of a papaya.

From the parents

Dad:

So, the big thing this month has been moving. We are now settling into our new apartment that gives us a bit more space for a baby. It actually has two bed rooms and a washer/dry, among other great features.  We praise the Lord for these many blessings that we don’t deserve.

Last week I was not only able to feel the baby kick, I was able to watch him! As the pregnancy becomes more tangible to me, I feel that I can actually start bonding with him. Kinda weird.

Mom:

I have enjoyed many moments feeling the little man kick and squirm about. It’s so fun to just watch him move! God has given us quite an active boy (already!), and I am relishing these moments while I still can.

On a fun note, we heard a rumor that there are more deliveries on full moons than any other night of each month. Something about the extra gravitational pull (wow, talk about having a SINGLE Creator!). Well, we’re due December 3rd, and December 2nd happens to be a full moon. Anyone want to place any bets?? :)Pregnant Belly Week 24

Current happenings:

  • Breathing is becoming more difficult.
  • Back starting to ache.
  • Ordered a glider, compliments of James’ freelance and kind consideration.
  • High baby activity mid-mornings and mid-evenings and…whenever Sarah sits still.
  • First round of registering done at Walmart and Babies R Us. Most likely a few tweaks to be made yet.
  • Bathroom trips increasing in frequency (who thought that could be possible??).
