24 weeks.

How far along? 24 weeks, baby is the size of an eggplant still (my app is lazy and says this for weeks 22-24)
Total weight gain: 10lbs ( I even weighed the morning of thanksgiving to see what it really was before my 3 turkey meal blowout we had).
Maternity clothes? Nothing new really, just repurposing what I've got in different ways. Loving tunics and leggings of course.
Sleep: I've had a cold this week so If I prop up our fancy remote bed I have slept better but darn those charlie horses still. Grrr
Best moment this week: Thanksgiving. DUH! and Christmas decorating.
Miss Anything? being able to breathe due to my cold and not having to blow my nose constantly.
Movement: Lots and lots and lots. She is a crazy woman. I love that I feel her almost constantly. What an amazing reminder of the gift I'm being given and how lucky I am to have her in there still.
Food cravings: Thanksgiving feast of course.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing :)
Gender: GIRL
Symptoms: No complains, occasional tingling hands and arms when I fall asleep, sciatic nerve pain hasn't been bad this week and just starting to get out of breath. The things that happen when a baby takes up space in your belly.
Belly Button in or out? Getting pretty shallow these days, I actually wonder if it will pop this time, kinda doubt it though.
Wedding rings on or off? on. :)
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, just excited for the holidays and all the fun to come with Christmas and getting ready for Eleanor.
Looking forward to:
Getting our Christmas tree tomorrow as long as Henry is feeling okay. He spiked a fever tonight and with the cold I have been fighting the past week, I can't say I'm horribly surprised. The Tylenol knocked it out pretty quick and he was acting more himself and ate a good dinner so I hope we can keep the sick demons at bay.

What we did this week:
My mom and I got alot of Christmas shopping done last weekend too which was great. I have a few more people to tackle and things to get but otherwise, I've made great progress. Otherwise my mom and sister helped me decorate for Christmas and my house is clean (except my never ending laundry pile). I love that we are getting ready for Christmas again, it doesn't feel like that long ago and with Eleanor coming it's going to fly and so will this next year. Crazy! I need to get the gifts I have already wrapped and ready to go but I'm not in any real rush because thanks to my toddler I will put them out at the last minute. Taylor and I also went to Nebraska furniture mart for an early Christmas to each other and got a deep freezer and this new handy laptop that I am getting great use out of by blogging and updating pics. YAY!

 Taylor's parents put up their Christmas tree and I found this little gem hidden in the branches. So cute!

 My Grandma Janet turned 84 this week too. We took her to dinner at Stroud's.

I hope I live long enough that the number of candles on my cake make it look like a ball of fire....
