24 weeks

24 weeks:

How far along? 24w1d (canteloupe)
Weight gain? About 12ish lbs
Maternity Clothes? Yep. Now my regular PJ tops don't fit either. And I've been using DH's shirts but they are going to get too short/not cover my whole belly soon. Time for some more shopping!
Who have you told? We've told a few more friends.
Are you showing yet? Yes. Strangers are asking me about it. Which is weird, but also makes it feel more real.
Any movement? Yes, all the time. Still just unbelievable. Loving every second, even when it keeps me up at night.
Symptoms: Same as the last week or so. I guess the only new thing is that I'm starting to feel like my belly is big/getting in the way of things. 
Best moment this week: V day today!
Major milestones: See above - V day!!!!
Major purchases this week: Still nada.  
Looking forward to next week: Non baby related, I have a whole entire weekend off. Very exciting. Baby related, we have an ultrasound and appointment on Friday. Just a growth scan, which I'll be getting every 4 weeks because of my Crohn's.

Work-wise, my ED rotation is amazing, and I'm loving every seconds. On Sunday I had 2 appys (appendicitis), which was fun to work up. I have also reduced 2 nursemaid's elbows, which is probably the easiest/most rewarding thing on the face of the planet. A kid comes in with a subluxated elbow, you twist their arm a little bit, feel it click back in, and BAM they're all better. Fixed, done, buh-bye, I just cured your kid. Feels pretty badass and the parents are all impressed. I also had one attending who, after asking me what I wanted to go into, said she was really impressed with me, and emailed the fellowship director saying I was "excellent." I met with him yesterday, and it went really well! <3 <3 ED!
