24 weeks with Griffin

 Please excuse the windblown hair. Also, I think I like this maxi dress from the front a lot better than I do from the side.
 Just for fun before Picnik closes (let's all do a collective sob), here is a comparison from 24 weeks with G & 24 weeks with Griffin. Here are my observations:
  • WHY ON EARTH DID WE PAINT OUR DINING ROOM THAT RIDICULOUS SHADE OF YELLOW?!?!
  • I'm a blonde. Born and raised. And blonde I will be next Thursday!
  • My arms were skinnier with G. hmph.
  • My stomach has rounded out a lot sooner with Griffin than it did with Grayson. 
  • I had only gained 3 pounds (!!!!!!!!) by this point with Grayson. I have gained at least 11 pounds this time. So there's that...yay. 
Okay, on to the survey!
 
*How far along?: 24 weeks
*Total weight gain?: Last I heard it was 11lbs. I don't own a scale & that's probably a good thing.
*How big is baby?: an ear of corn; Griffin weighed 1.7lbs this week at our ultrasound!
*Sex: another sweet boy!
*Maternity clothes: absolutely.
*Stretch marks: Nope. fingers crossed!
*Sleep: My hips hurt at night so I know I toss and turn. BUT, when I am asleep, I sleep great!
*Symptoms: ya know, normal aches and pains. I feel a lot more pregnant than 24 weeks.
*Best moment this week: getting to see little Griff at my ultrasound! He went from being a sloth baby last time to being extremely active this week. He is a mover just like his big brother!
*Movement: He moves a lot at night. I love feeling him!
*Food cravings: nothing new this week. shocking.
 *Labor signs: hopefully not anytime soon!
*Belly button in or out: in, however, it's already flat. It's pretty uncomfortable. I dread the sticking out belly button.
  *What I miss: not too much!
*What I'm looking forward to: G's new room is slowly getting cleared out & we are ready to paint!
I was seriously SO amazed at how much Griffin looks like Grayson as a newborn. They have the same exact fat cheeks, full lips, and nose. Pretty amazing! I wonder if Griffin will be a mammoth baby like his brother?!
