Wow...today marks 24 weeks on this journey! I sent Mike a text today saying "24 weeks...only 16 more to go (hopefully)" which when you put it like that...seems like no time at all!
I know they say that as you get older, time really does move faster - but I guess I never really believed them until recently. It seems like time is simply flying! 16 weeks...CRAZY!
We are doing well - Delainey has been kicking up a storm. Mostly when I am getting ready to lay down to go to sleep or trying to unwind after work - but I am not complaining. I am just happy that I get to feel her little feet and hands getting her Ty Bo on in my stomach!
Still having a lot of back pains - I have asked for the assistance of a good friend who is a personal trainer, if she could send me any sort of exercises that could help to relieve and/or strengthen my lower back to help deal with this pain...it doesn't seem to be going away and I would very much like it too!
Still waiting as patiently as possible for our billet to make his way back to Michigan...patiently may be a slight exaggeration. I am just so ready to be able to start working on the nursery...I want to make sure Miss Delainey has a beautiful place to call her own!
I have gained 16-20 lbs...depending on when I weigh myself and I feel ok...not thrilled about the extra weight, but its for Delainey and that is all that matters!
According to thebump.com, Delainey is still about the size of a papaya and is now starting to fill out - she is gaining fat under her skin, helping to make her not so transparent. She is also developing a reddish hue as capillaries are starting to form.
16 weeks...112 days (if she opts to arrive on her due date) but either way...we are making progress!
Happy 24 weeks everyone...may the next 16 be happy, healthy and safe!
