It's been a while (again!)

*I wrote this post on Wednesday night and then blogger wouldn't let me post it! Then I tried again a couple days ago and it wouldn't post.. so everything is in past tense now lol. We are in GA and i'm currently 24 weeks 3 days pregnant!*

It's been a little bit again since i've last blogged! I just can't seem to get in the blogging mood daily or even weekly like I used to! I blogged nearly everyday of Maddox's pregnancy and I really need to blog more often about my current pregnancy!

Tomorrow I will be 24 weeks!!! 24 weeks = viability which is a huge milestone. This pregnancy has gone by so much quicker than Maddox's ever did! I guess it's very true that being a mommy already and having a toddler to keep up with makes the weeks go by much faster! I took my 1-hour gestational diabetes test today which was totally yucky! Hopefully I will pass and not have to take the 3-hour test. They will only call me if the results are abnormal, so no news will be good news! I am starting to feel baby boy more and more.. but today he's been pretty quiet. I hope he perks up here in a little bit.

Tomorrow evening we will be headed to the SEA-TAC airport and headed for a long visit in Georgia! I am so excited! Unfortunately Eric will only be there for a few days, but Maddox and I are staying until August 20th! We will definitely miss Daddy, but it will be nice to spend time with some family and be back in the South again. I know Daddy will also enjoy the bliss of a quiet house and just having his own time.. for about a week.. then he'll be wishing we were home Lol! I know by August 20th I will be more than ready to be in my own house again as well! Eric will be out in the field from the beginning of August until August 19th which is another reason we are staying so long. My mom and best friend Liz are throwing me a baby shower some time in August, so that is something to look forward to!

Here are several pregnancy questions I am going to try and do weekly (at the very least, even if I don't post much else) so I can remember baby boy #2's pregnancy better. =)

How far along? 23 weeks 6 days!

Maternity clothes? Pants, yes! I can still wear some pre-pregnancy shirts and dresses.

Gain? up 3-4 lbs depending on the day.

Stretch marks? No new ones.

Sleep? I am so tired during the day that I almost always end up napping with Maddox and then have a horrible time falling asleep at night.. therefore i'm tired again the next day lol.

Best moment this week? I think i'm feeling baby's hiccups!

Movement? Yes. More each day.

Foods I am loving? Hershey's milk chocolate recently & foods with tomato sauce/products like ketchup, spaghetti, spaghettios lol, stuff like that!

Foods I am hating? Not a fan of fried stuff lately.

Symptoms? Migraines, mood swings, HOT flashes, random waves of nausea & horrible pubic area pain

Gender? Still a boy!!

What I'm looking forward to? Feeling him roll and my belly getting rounder and bigger =)

Weekly Wisdom: If it's hot outside and you're going to be walking a lot (at the zoo for example)... DON'T wear maternity jeans with the full belly panel. They are so hot! Lol

Milestones: Tomorrow we reach viability! =)

Blogger is currently not letting me post photos! When it does I will post a few of Maddox and the newest ultrasound photos of baby boy!
