Baby boosh // 24 weeks


That's banana on my sports bra...     #momlife
 I am blown away that I'm 6 months pregnant. Feeling the urge to really get things organized, cleaned, rearranged, etc. and finding I don't have the time or energy to do it. I had a consultation with the home birth midwives and I am so excited. Definitely nervous, but I think that's just because in our society it's the "norm" to go to the hospital to have your baby and we obviously won't be doing that. I 100% trust the women who will be attending Felix's birth and I'm so excited to be surrounded by them. I didn't view giving birth as a scary thing with Silas and I definitely don't this time either. With all the cattiness, lack of support, and pain that women cause each other in this world, I was so proud of the women who surrounded me with Silas and really just loved me and got me through it. So, so special and amazing. I can't wait to experience it again.

How far along: 24 weeks + 1 day
Total weight gain: 14 lbs
Maternity clothes: A couple of tops but still sticking to my regular pants.
Stretch marks: nothing new
Sleep: melatonin and magnesium nightly
Best moment this week: my consultation with our home birth midwives.
Movement: always, but no kicks in the ribs like Silas was so keen on.
Food cravings: coffee, but I don't think that's the pregnancy talking...
Anything making you queasy or sick: No
Gender: Boy
Belly button in or out: out
Wedding rings on or off: on
Mood of the week: happy
Looking forward to: my prenatal appointment at the midwives and talking about our home birth setup.
