24 Weeks
So week 24 - Wow 6mths!
I find myself excited, I find myself scared and yet at the same time I find myself reassured that we do not travel this road alone. We have each other and we have the Big Man upstairs.
All appears to be going well with the little one. Measurements seem to be on track.
Heartbeat sounds as strong as ever. Movement is everyday and I'm feeling pretty good really.
Only thing that's been a bit of a pain (literally) lately is cramps. I've been getting really nasty calf cramps that often wake me from my sleep. Most likely due to my terrible circulation perhaps also a need for a little more calcium in my diet. So solution is obviously a bit more exercise and getting into the cheese and milk.
My skin continues to get dry really easily and I've had the odd rash or two randomly come out of nowhere only to disappear just as quickly.
I'm feeling hungry a little more I think. My weight has not changed and my 6mth belly measures in this afternoon at 98cm which is about 38.5inch. I'm not going to measure the bust for fear that it may have expanded more!
Apparently by the end of the 24th week bubs is around 10 inches from crown to rump and weigh 2 pounds which is almost 1kg. So tiny. Stay there baby. Grow some more, enjoy the warmth of my womb and join us in the warmth and beauty of Summertime.
I've been thinking about how far away July feels some days and then how incredibly close it is too! Wondering too how big am I going to be by the end of this journey. And how big this baby is going to be that somehow (ok so we know how but lets not go there just yet!) has to find it's way out of me and into this wild and wonderful world.
I've been eyeing up little outfits and although we've yet to buy anything yet I'm really looking forward to it. Once we've moved into our new place this weekend and returned from our trip to the States at the beginning of April we will be able to start the nesting process. Should be fun!
Until next time I will leave you with this little Chinese Proverb to ponder..

Aww Mez your pregblog is the highlight of my week! Keep your chin up chickie. Mum swears by tonic water with Quinine in it so you could try that... certainly helped when Dad played cricket in 40+ degree heat and woke with awful leg cramps in the night!! Can't wait to hear more about your adventure :)
