24 weeks (6 months)

{Alex is now a little over a foot long and weighs more than a pound. He gained 4 oz just last week alone and is getting chunkier by the day!}

So the numbers don't add up. I am officially 6 months along... but I still have 4 "months" left. Which means..... THEY BIG FAT LIE when they say pregnancy is 9 months! It's 10.

(I feel like I have to explain this when people ask how far along I am, and then they ask my due date and then look at me like I don't know how to count.)

4 weeks= 1 month
8 weeks= 2 months
24 weeks= 6 months
40 weeks= 10 months

And there we have it. 10 looooong months of pregnancy.

So this being my 6th month, means I'm gettin' pretty lazy. I have no desire to get up and do a 6 month belly pic. Just imagine me with a watermelon under my shirt... and a couple of canteloupes... and that should give you a pretty accurate idea of what's going on over here!

I had a dr. visit yesterday and everything looks fabulous. His heartbeat is really strong and he is just all over the place! The kicking is insane now. All those months of me wishing he would get to this point, and now that this point is here, I'm wishing he would back off a little!

I'm starting a low carb diet plan today. I told my doctor enough is enough, give me some magical pill or something that's going to keep me from gaining 100 lbs and the best she could give me was 60 carbs a day. *sigh* fine. low carbs and high protein. I researched it and it's actually super healthy for the baby as well. Imagine.. cutting out cake, cookies, sugar, and crap= a healthy baby. Huh.

So anyway... there's my 6 month update. I'm not feeling super motivated so we'll just end it here.
