6 months!!! 24 weeks!!

How far along? 24 weeks and 4 days!
Total weight gain/measurements: In total i have put on about 14lbs so 1 stone heavier! Its been hard for me to get on the scales and not cry when i have put on a few pounds I forget sometimes I'm pregnant and its only baby weight ha!
Maternity clothes: So far i have only bought 2 nursing bra's and 1 maternity top as it's so expensive! I just get a few Penney's tops in bigger sizes because they are so cheap and I'm only going to be wearing them for a short time.
Stretch marks? YES!!!! which I hate. I only have them on my boobs so far but i get them anyway so I'm just waiting for them to appear on my belly soon. I'm using Avon's stretch mark cream and baby oil at the minute but nothing is working!!
Sleep: I get very little sleep in this heat and i need to buy a pregnancy pillow to support my belly at night.
Best moment this week: Watching our baby from the outside seeing him/her kicking and rolling around.
Miss anything? Fitting into all my lovely summer dresses i have :( It's just more motivation for me to get my body back after little bambino is out!
Movement: Loads of movement especially at night baby seems to come to life at around 1am or early in the morning, guess it's just preparing me for when it's born ha!
Food cravings:  Nothing really strong cravings, i guess mayonnaise I'm addicted to it anyway but i have to have it with pretty much anything i eat now!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Fish or peas i still cant stand the smell or eat it!
Gender: We still don't know! But we find out in 6 days which is so exciting :D
Labour signs: No.
Symptoms: Heartburn, it has eased off alot but i still get it at least twice a day! Tiredness, i find myself so tired all the time again maybe it's just the heat but i fall asleep so early now! Backache, I have bad backache where i cant get comfortable unless I'm lying in bed.
Belly button in or out? Almost out!
Wedding rings on or off? On but it's starting to get a little tight so id say by 30 weeks it will be off!
Happy or moody most of the time: I'm gonna say a bit of both I'm sure Matt would say more moody though ha!
Looking forward to:Friday when we have our 4d scan and we get to see our baby's face and find out the gender and i can finally buy clothes and tell everyone his/her name :D
