I usually post a recap every Saturday however this Saturday is our baby shower and gender reveal.
So I’m posting this Friday night! Like right when it hits midnight.
This week was all about the baby shower planning and prepping, making sure everything is in order and ready to go.
I am SO excited for the party and to see all the pieces that have been in my mind for 6 weeks come together in real life!

Second Trimester: Week 24 Pregnancy Recap
Symptoms
Headaches
Headaches bothered me quite a few times this week. Some of them were pretty strong and came on suddenly. I actually had to stop and sit in the car for while one day before driving on the road.
Heartburn
Holy!! Heartburn is BAD this week. Almost everyday I felt this and for much longer as well. It usually happens after I eat a meal but this week, it came on when it wanted to.
Pause here and save this pin for later!
Mood & Energy
Been super busy and excited with the baby shower this week. 6 weeks of planning and prepping is finally done and ready for take off.
Felt pretty good this week minus a few headaches here and there and still managed to go workout at the gym three times this week!
Cravings
Sweets! I’m back to craving the sweet desserts again.
Especially the cheesecake. I was at the mall one evening and literally went on autopilot going towards any store that had sweets.
From frozen yogurt to Japanese cheesecakes to cupcakes, I was wanting a dessert SO BAD. Luckily, nothing appealed to me and I did not cave in at the mall.
I did end up eating some candy at home later though!
Favorites This Week
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Tummy Butter for Stretch Marks – I absolutely LOVE this. The first one I got was when I was 17 weeks and it lasted until now.
I like this one better than the Burt’s Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter I started with originally.
As my sense of smell started to get stronger, I didn’t like the smell of the Burt’s Bees one.
I’ve been using the Palmer’s Cocoa Butter day and night during the second trimester and really taking time to massage it into my belly, making sure to go in an upwards motion.
