Being Pregnant
24 Weeks + Horizontal Stripes
And the bump keeps growing. I’ve decided to embrace it hence the horizontal stripes and glitter belt. I wonder what Stacy and Clinton would say.
Do you see how high I’m carrying? I’m concerned for the welfare of my ribs. Baby Blodgett loves to wake me up in the morning with crazy kicks and jabs that aren’t bothersome since he’s still so tiny. I still get excited every time I feel him move. I can’t believe I’ll get to meet him in less than four months.
Before I put anything into my mouth I think, “Will this give me heartburn?” The answer is yes to everything. The other night my husband heard me whimpering than I leaned over, took two Tums and went back to bed. I have no recollection of this.
While Christmas shopping I found myself often wandering into the baby clothes section. I’m telling you, sock monkey footsie pajamas are impossible to resist.
We’ll be moving into our first house after Christmas and I love to walk around and imagine our little family living there, especially when I peek into the nursery. It’s empty now but will soon be bustling.
I’m so grateful to be pregnant.

katie commented on Dec 23 11 at 11:07 amYou are high! Maybe baby boy is a baby girl? JK. I love your belly. You look so happy!

sarah l commented on Dec 24 11 at 2:14 pmYou look great for 24 weeks! When I was 24 weeks, I already had a huge round belly, due to a ridiculously short torso lol!
nancy commented on Dec 25 11 at 11:51 pmi had terrible terrible heartburn, but, the old wives tale was correct and my baby had a full head of beautiful hair. made it worth it!
p.s. try the tums “quick packs.” You can find them on amazon – they dissolve in your mouth and work instantly. total lifesaver.

Melissa | IS•LY commented on Dec 28 11 at 7:41 pmHeartburn is the worst! Hope it gets better!
I was complaining to my mom a while back at how active Felix was in the womb, when she told me that my baby sister BROKE 3 of my mom’s ribs while in utero. Isn’t that bonkers?
Caryn commented on Jan 02 12 at 8:22 amYou look adorable Melanie! Love the skirt. That’s so funny that you are having a boy and carrying high; I’m the exact opposite having a girl and carrying pretty low. I don’t think that old wives’ tale is true all the time. :)
I have horrid heartburn as well and my nutritionist recommended something called ChlorOxygen. I got it at our health food store. It is completely natural and you just put a dropper full in every glass of water you drink throughout the day. It is supposed to help with better digestion and keeping things down. Was a total lifesaver through the holidays as I never quite knew what I might have in front of me. Mine is mint flavored and quite wonderful. Just thought I’d share. :) Happy New Year!
