How far along: 24 weeks! According to thebump.com, our baby is the size of a cantaloupe measuring 10.5-11.8 inches and weighing about 12.5 inches. Baby's see-through skin is gradually becoming more opaque and it's got a new pink glow, thanks to the small capillaries that have recently formed.
Total weight gain: At last week's doc appointment, I was up 15 pounds, which is almost exactly on track to 1 lb a week since my last weigh-in.
Maternity clothes: All maternity all the time! Thank goodness some very generous friends and my sister-in-law are lending me clothes so I should be pretty set until baby arrives. Thanks ladies!
Stretch marks: Still no!
Sleep: I invested in a pregnancy pillow, which supports my back, hips and belly. Last night was my first night sleeping with and it was awesome! I was also exhausted from our weekend though, so that might have helped too :)
Best moment of this week: The last few weeks have been busy, but so much fun! We spent weekend before last in Ashland, OR for my little bro's graduation. It was wonderful to see the whole family, but especially Mamy who is visiting from France.
And we spent last weekend in the desert visiting Matt's family. We went for Mya, our 2-month-old neice's, baby blessing. So fun to see everyone and meet the new baby!

Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out: Way out! It's gotten some pokes and comments so it's definitely out there.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy! I'm quick to cry when I'm stressed or overwhelmed, but it's been rare.
Looking forward to: Sunshine. Summer officially starts July 4 in Portland, so we're counting the days :) Though we're about to have a heat wave... 90s for the next 5 days. We're both looking forward to our week off so we can completely forget about work and relax. So excited to see April and Lukas and have the whole fam together!
