Baby Update at 24 Weeks

At the end of this 24th week, I can now say I have a pregnancy waddle. Clomping with your legs slightly apart just feels more comfortable. So what if I look constipated (if my belly isn’t obvious enough that I’m pregnant).

Well, after three sessions of acupuncture, my carpal tunnel syndrome has not gotten any better. My doctor is not surprised – he thinks acupuncture is pointless and in this case it was. I’ll be buying a hand brace some time this week, and hopefully it’ll help me get some quality sleep at night. I’m not sure if it’ll help me with doing things like writing, brushing teeth or using a knife and fork though. Those things are currently quite painful.

I now feel bloated and tight most of the time, and noticing the extra weight when I walk and sleep. Don’t expect me to walk from The Terrace to Courtenay place in under half an hour anymore.

Baby is kicking much more as well, but thankfully she seems to sleep at night so doesn’t wake me up.

And my word, I have developed a major sweet tooth! I better be careful to not over do it though. I don’t want any more conditions.

My belly button has also started on its descent/ascent into outie-ness. Maybe I’ll be lucky and it’ll stay as an innie… we’ll have to wait and see.

It’s quite funny that the ad that was displayed to me under this post was ‘Top Rules for a Flat Tummy’

You’re looking fab! Wrist brace n all :)

Thanks Kaz :)

Top Rule for a flat tummy would be to not get pregnant!

Love the update, thanks for sharing!
LOL, I’m scared of popping belly buttons…my friend would stick a bandaid over hers everytime she saw me…I don’t know why they freak me out.
