Week and Day: 24 weeks
Belly button in or out: still in but it's starting to come to the surface
Wedding rings on or off: on still no change
Food cravings: I havent really craved anything lately
Food aversion: I havent really been aversed to anything either
Nausea: No more nausea however i have had heartburn
Energy level: I am still tired all the time
Weight gain: I'm afraid to get on the scale. Last time I weighed it was about 10 lbs total.
Mood: Kind of moody lately. I can still cry at anything. The little things are getting on my nerves but I dont know if that has to do with me being pregnant or not.
Maternity clothes: I'm holding on to one pair of regular pants, all the rest are maternity pants. I go back and forth on the shirts bc i can still fit into regular shirts. Dresses are also comfortable.
Size of the baby:Luke is now the size of a papaya and weighs as much as a basketball.
Changes in baby: Luke's skin is becoming more opaque as the fat starts to pack on. And, thanks to the formation of small capillaries, his newly thick skin is taking on a fresh pink glow.
Other: It's so neat to be able to feel this baby move inside of me. Steven and I will lay on the bed and just watch him move all around. Everytime Luke moves, Stevens eyes just light up.

Halfway there!!!!
Today i'm 20 weeks. It's still very crazy to think that there is another human inside me. He or she is moving all the time. It's so weird to feel that sensation. Even though I havent gained a lot of weight, I feel sooooo big and the funny thing is is that i'm going to get much bigger. ugh. I just cant imagine. Every week I get an update on the progress of the baby and this week it says :
Baby's now the size of a cantaloupe!Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had via amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you'd like your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.
My kid will LOVE macaroni and cheese:). Also we go tomorrow for the midway ultrasound where they catch everything from head to toe and also find out the sex of the baby. I cant wait to start calling it by name instead of little one. Well i'm sure i'll post again this weekend to say what the the baby is . :)

12 weeks
Week and Day: 12 weeks and 1 day
Belly button in or out: in, I'm not far enough along yet
Wedding rings on or off: on, they are a little loose actually
Food cravings: Right now milk and peanut butter, who knows what it will be tomorrow
Food aversion: Everything else basically
Nausea: every once in a while now, I hope I'm getting over the "feeling sick all the time" or it depends on what food is in front of me
Energy level: I can't really tell a difference because I was always tired before
Weight gain: I have actually lost 4 pounds
Mood: I cry at the drop of a hat, i'm anxious about bringing a child into the world (i'm glad God gives you 9 months to prepare for this)
Maternity clothes: My blue jeans are getting very tight so i might need to start thinking about that
Size of the baby: About the size of a plum, I'm a little longer than a credit card and I weigh as much as a magic marker :)
Changes in baby: As I move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of my systems are fully formed.
Other: It's so precious how every night, Steven will talk to it and he won't let me hear what he is saying. He says he's having a conversation with his child. Too cute :)

where am I going?
Do you ever feel like sometimes your life in just spiraling out of control? Well that's how I feel in this moment. I want the Lord's will for my life. It's just that I dont have the slightest clue of what that is. I am currently reading through Numbers right now and the Isrealites keep saying to Moses "why have you brought us out here to die?" Then the Lord will say to Moses, "Go hit that rock and water will come out and they wont be thirsty anymore". Then the Lord says "For I am the Lord" (of course all that is a paraphrase) :) God knows what is best for my life and I just have to follow his lead because he wont let me "die".
