24 Weeks, Viability & Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! We've reached viability and our baby boy is now 32cm and 600 grams. Growing and moving around so much. Can't believe we're already 6 months along and have only 3 months to go. Time is going so fast. Third trimester is right around the corner!

How far along: 24 weeks
How big is baby: Size of a butternut pumpkin (32cm from head to toe)
Total weight gain/loss: Still down 2kg from my pre-pregnancy weight
Stretch marks: None (moisturizing my belly, hips and tatas every night before bed)
Maternity clothes:  Nope still wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes
Wedding rings on/off: On
Sleep: 4-6 hours a night
Food cravings or aversions:  No unusual cravings but I ate my body weight worth of chocolate this week. C'mon it's Easter, I'm allowed an exception.
Gender: BOY!
Movement:  Heaps. I recorded him bouncing around for almost an hour straight the other day. Our baby boy's got some energy!
Belly button: Innie but slowly making its way to the surface
Exercise:  Does walking from the couch to the fridge count for anything?  ;)
Diet:  ... is a dirty word
What I'm loving:  Watching our baby boy kick, punch, push out, roll over and bounce around in my belly
What I'm not loving:  Feeling our baby boy kick, punch, push out, roll over and bounce around in my belly lol. His rib and pelvic jabs aren't exactly enjoyable. Also having back spasms. Yeah they're a lot of fun.
What I miss:  Sleeping on my back. It's been left side only for 6 months.
Sickness and symptoms:  Still have the occasional dizzy spells and not a lot of energy but otherwise doing well
Notes: We picked out the paint colour for bub's room and will hopefully get it on the wall some time this week.
