24 Weeks!
Today I am 24 weeks pregnant with The Blueberry. We had a midwife appointment yesterday. All is fine. My fundal measurement was 24 cm exactly, and we could hear the Blueberry's heartbeat through the stethposcope which I thought was exciting.
In this week, not much is happening. The fat is starting to get packed on the Blueberry, but hopefully not me ;) S/he's a little over one pound and will probably pack on a good 8 oz this week in growth and fat. Her/his little lungs are continuing to develop and s/he'll be practicing breathing amniotic fluid. S/he can also hear by now for sure! Supposedly loud noises will startle him/her, but I find that s/he never moves when I am on the train. Perhaps the rumble is calming?
midnightstation put together some of the pictures we've been taking so you can see the growth of the Blueberry. We skipped December by accident. Whoops!

I'm tired a lot still. My midwife was concerned since most women get a bump of energy in the 2nd trimester and I haven't. Oh well. I'm not anemic (my numbers are great). I think I just need to sleep more and stress less. I keep feeling like I want to prep more for the baby somehow but am unsure how. We're moving the apartment around in the beginning of April and I think some of my stress will go after we do that. I also am feeling like I really want to SCRUB the kitchen lately. Like, take everything down off the open shelves and clean it, replace all the spices, get rid of anything too old. A deep spring cleaning. Is this "nesting"? Maybe.
Well..... it's 7:45. Time to make the doughnuts!
