Weeks 22-24 - Watermelon addiction & starting the baby's room!

Man, I didn't realize how long it has been since I last posted! Being extremely sensitive to emfs also doesn't help. My phone actually burns my hand, arm and makes my last 3 fingers go numb on my left hand after only a few mins! 😳 It has gotten much worse since I became pregnant, so I'm trying to avoid my phone as much as possible. Not a fan of the headaches or increased heart rate is causes either. Phones now a days are so unhealthy for us!

I hit 24 weeks this weekend! Woo! My belly is growing, Christian is definitely really active, and my love (if I'm honest, my addiction...) to watermelon is intense. I thought it might wane after a few weeks, but nope. I went through 3 full size watermelons in just 2-3 days with very little help 🤣 I must definitely need something that is in them! They're a great natural source of antioxidants as well. I've gained 19 lbs so far i believe and recently started suffering from pregnancy insomnia. I'd really love to be able to take something to knock me out for about an entire week, but I'll stick with my lavender essential oil and magnesium lotion. The mag lotion helps with my sore back also! 

Baby boy at this stage now has a fully developed inner ear and is packing on the brown fat. He's 12.5 inches or more long and now weighs over 1.5 lbs! We cannot wait to meet him, we are SO curious what he will look like! Daddy finally felt him kick but it will be more fun in a couple of months when you can feel him really good. We started organizing all my candle making supplies and such into the closet so that our 4th bedroom is all ready for baby when he gets here. I am so excited for his little woodlands themed nursery! His room is going to be part baby room and part homeschool room ha ha, but it'll still be great. I've already washed and put most of his clothes away in the dresser, so I will be thrilled to finish getting the twin's kindergarten school supplies organized so we can finish the baby side of the room. We have so many clothes, toys, soft blankies, and two very, very excited siblings waiting for him! The twins asked me this week with great excitement if we can "please put baby Christian in a gift box after he comes out of your tummy and open him for Christmas?! He will be the most cute present ever!" 🥰🤣 A little Christmas baby will be so fun! 

Happy Sunday everyone, have a great week!
