"Now your pregnant belly is really growing! And at 24 weeks pregnant, it is important for you to keep healthy activity and fitness on your busy calendar. Learn more about prenatal exercise, linea nigra, male sympathetic pregnancy, and more!

In your 24th week of pregnancy, your baby is filling out. Part of your weight gain goes straight to helping him gain weight, too. Since he's still on the scrawny side, his skin wrinkles on his body, but he looks like a miniature version of what you'll see on delivery day. His face has formed, ears are in place, and eyes are complete (although his lids are still closed). He has eyelashes, fingernails, and may be growing hair. Rapid eye movements (REM) are beginning, too." ~ babyzone.com

I'm huge {see gross picture below, taken yesterday, as proof}.  And sweaty most of the time.  Oh, and I had to buy size EIGHT shoes the other day.  I normally wear 6.5/7's.  But, I don't have that weird dark line on my belly {at least, not yet} that I had while pregnant with T and C or any new stretch marks.  Carter is the only child that's gifted me those, thus far.  Gotta celebrate the small things.

Halloween is just around the corner.  While Carter has been pretty easy regarding costumes {I've been able to just buy them online}, Trenton love pokemon.  Not the overexposed pikachu, either.  Random pokemon.  Meaning I have to make those costumes.  Which is a challenge for my normally.  It's proving near impossible and pretty painful with a lower back that's on a mission to make me cry.  This year, he choose squirtle.  A water shooting turtlesque thing.

I got through almost the entire body today.  I just need to do the head and tail and I'll be done.  How are we halfway through October already?!  ::sigh::
