24 Weeks! (6 months)

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 24 Weeks (6 months)

Size of Baby: He is about eight and a half inches long and weighs one and a half pounds.

Total Weight Gain: I have gained a total of 6 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: I am wearing more maternity clothes. I am still wearing my own pants, with a rubber band!

Stretch Marks: No new ones since Garrett!

Belly Button In or Out: My belly button is flattening out and just a small part on top is starting to stick out.

Gender: It's a BOY! Logan Cole Johnson will be entering our family soon. Garrett will have a little brother.

Movement: I have been feeling Logan move every single day! He is kicking and moving so much that you can actually see my stomach move now.

Food Cravings/ Aversions: I am just hungry all day long! I eat breakfast and take a few snacks to work. I eat my snacks before lunch. By lunchtime, I am starving! I love eating!

What I miss: I miss looking normal & having a normal stomach.

Sleep: I've been sleeping on my sides as much as possible. With this pregnancy, my hips "fall alseep". I'll wake up in the middle of the night and have to roll over because my hip is hurting.

Symptoms: I have been having some sciatic nerve pain in my hip. It comes and goes. I also started having a pain in my upper belly. It feels like a "stretching muscle" pain.

Best Moment This Week: Wednesday, I had a doctor's appointment and Garrett got to hear Logan's heartbeat again. He kept saying, "Baby Logan! Baby Logan!" It was so sweet. My cousin April also suprised me at work this morning with a bag of donut holes! Yum!

Valentine's Day/Weekend

Valentine's Day/Weekend

My husband and I went to couples paint night on Saturday with some friends. He doesn't like people knowing that I dragged him to a paint night. He did enjoy it though. We painted trees. I painted an autumn tree and he painted a summer tree. We had fun. I laughed the entire time at all the men trying to be "creative". My wild husband ended up getting green paint all over my chair and the floor while I wasn't sitting! haha

On Sunday, I prepared a special Valentine's dinner for my sweet husband. I fixed chicken parmesan, fettichini alfredo, and molten lava cakes. The chicken parmesan tasted and looked good! The alfredo sauce was terrible and my molten lava cakes turned out bad!!! I hope it is the thought that counts. :)

Last night, we were eating dinner and my sweet husband & baby boy gave me Valentine's cards. My husband also gave me a gift... after we said no gifts. I opened it up and it was Logan's first outfit!!! I loved it! It was a blue polo shirt with green/blue plaid shorts.

I am getting more and more excited about bringing another miracle into this world! Seeing that outfit brought it full circle to me. I hope he is as healthy and smart as Garrett. I love my little family.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's day!!
