24 week belly shot

Actual belly shot at 24 weeks!!! The hand is hiding a new stretch mark :)


Here is the full body shot. I swear the belly is much larger than it actually looks in this picture. I know it doesn't seem big, but it is. I think that I am measuring smaller than the average person at 24 weeks. It's because of that torso and all the room Peyton has from top to bottom. She doesn't have to stick out. It could also be the size of those OVER THE SHOULDER BOLDER HOLDERS! Yeah, 42G and sticking. I am actually looking forward to when my belly sticks out further than my breasts.

I had another first this morning. When I woke up I was laying on my right side. I rolled over to my back to stretch out some (and let things "fall" back into place) and there she was still stuck on my right side. It was the neatest thing. My belly was totally lopsided and I could feel her on my right side. It must have been her butt or her head because it was hard and round!

Also, she's starting to kick much more. Like the kind of kick that stops you in mid-sentence. It's really cute, but catches me off guard. Hopefully some other folks can start feeling her kick. It's still pretty low so it's kind of awkward to say "hey, want to feel below my panty line?" I haven't attempted this yet!

6 months without any sickness

So I was able to go a whole 6 months without any "morning sickness" and then WHAM!!!! This evening around 7ish I had to run to the bathroom and upchuck. I know this is probably a disgusting topic to discuss on my blog, but I wanted to update everyone.

I'm thinking it's food poisoning, but it could also be the flu. I felt fine all day, ate lunch, came home, relaxed and then I had to run to the bathroom. That to me is food poisoning and not the flu. Who knows though. Peyton must be like "what the hell is all this going on..." My stomach is gurgling like those teenage movies. It's so loud.

Alright, well, it's late and I'm just counting down the minutes until the next trip to the bathroom. At least it does make you feel better after.
