24 weeks

it was totally a hooded sweatshirt type of ... week.

when: tuesday, nov. 22, 2011

what i wore:

sweatshirt: american apparel

tunic: american apparel (you can barely see it poking out the bottom of my sweatshirt)

shoes: toms

where: work

i’ve grown a lot, haven’t i?!

new symptom of the week: heartburn. luckily those little tums do amazing things.

i love getting to know our baby’s sleep patterns, and i smile and internally say good morning to her when she wakes up with a big stretch.

her movements have gotten so much stronger this week! they say that this is the peak week of activity (because there is still room in there)…and i believe it!

putting on, taking off and tying my shoes is getting tougher. the other night i didn’t even attempt it myself and instead asked eric if he’d be able to do it. he is a good man.

did you know that our bodies are smart enough to give the baby all the nutrients we take in before we benefit from them? how amazing is that?

my emotional health has been very unstable lately. between stress at work, trying to sell our house and preparing for the holidays, i am feeling quite worried and overwhelmed about getting everything ready for our little girl and also the responsibility of motherhood. (any tips?!)

do you read the posts on our family blog, words of williams? we’ve started to eat better in our house to prepare for this little baby! and we also attended a marriage retreat last weekend to make sure we’re on the same page before this huge adjustment!
