Pregnancy Week by Week | Weeks 21-24

Pregnancy Week By Week | Weeks 21-24

  • Due Date: August 7, 2019 
  • Baby is the size of a: Cantaloupe (at 24 weeks)
  • Total weight gain: 13 lbs
  • The bump: Looks and feels like I’m more than 24 weeks in my opinion 😉 
  • Symptoms: Exhaustion, back aches, symphysis pubis discomfort when exercising
  • Food cravings: Honestly, none lately – I’ve had a hard time deciding on what to make for dinner because nothing sounds that great
  • Food aversions: None
  • Sleep: Good, but I still wake up tired!
  • What I miss: Feeling ‘normal’ – your body just feels SO different when you’re pregnant and everything is a little bit harder 🙂
  • Movement: Definitely – especially late at night
  • Maternity clothes: Getting to the point where I prefer maternity jeans and dresses – the hair tie trick for regular jeans isn’t as comfortable these days
  • What I’m most looking forward to: Consistently warm and sunny weather so we can spend a lot of time outside 
  • Apps I’ve used: The Bump, Ovia Pregnancy
  • Products I’ve been loving: Diclegis, Zantac, Burt’s Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter
  • Books: None
  • Purchases for baby: None – this poor child will probably not have anything new since she has two big sisters with LOTS of stuff. I packed away some of their winter clothes and saw allllll of the boxes of newborn/0-3 month clothes we have! 

What’s Happening By the Week

Week 21 – We finally had some beautiful weather this week and the girls and I spent lots of time outside. I started taking walks around the neighborhood again (pushing the double stroller) and it’s WAY harder now! We hadn’t done a lot of them since December because I was basically averse to the cold since I found out I was pregnant…it made me nauseous to go out in it.

Still working out daily but it’s getting so much harder!

Week 22 – This week, we started taking shopping for a new car more seriously – we took the girls and their car seats to test drive some of our favorite options. It hit me that soon I will be somehow wrangling THREE kids into a car, sometimes by myself…a little intimidating!

Week 23 – I had taken a bit of a break from lifting weights (other than during Pure Barre classes) and felt like I needed to hop back into it, so I kicked this week off with a new round of LIIFT4. We also had some crazy things happen this week (NOT related to pregnancy) that were a combination of stress but also in some ways, relief – I hope to share more about it soon!

Week 24 – After a few chilly, rainy days, we had a beautiful weekend to celebrate Easter. We did egg hunts, egg dyeing, went to church and made a delicious Easter dinner. Also another week over here with some big ch-ch-changes on the horizon – we decided to list our house for sale!

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
