24 week appt.

I had my 24 week appt. today.
Not very exciting once again.
Still have low blood pressure.
Weighed in at 119, so the weight gain has finally begun. (+13lbs in approx. 8 wks)

Baby's heartbeat was goofy today. The Dr. said he had the hiccups.
And he kept moving away from the doppler and kicking hard against it.
Awesome.

Next appt. would be the horrible disgusting glucose test.
I asked if I really need to take it.
She said that due to my age, weight, and history, that I am at a very low risk of gestational diabetes, and that it would be fine if I wanted to fore-go it.
I whole-heartedly agreed.

So yeah! I don't have to drink that awful drink.
She said they'd still draw my blood and check for anemia though.
That I can deal with. :)

So everything is still going just fine.

Gosh, I don't know where the last month went!

I'm 24 weeks now.
Its going by SOOO fast!

I'm feeling good still.
Getting big and dealing with a lot more of that lovely sciatic nerve pain.
Its quite tiring taking care of 2 kids, especially Maddie who is still very dependent.
Or on the days after she has been up all night due to illness and/or teething is always rough.
I've started my list of projects now that we know its a boy and I'm not focusing on the holidays anymore.
I've even given Colby a few special things that he needs to buy/do for his first son. :)

I'm excited for these 2 to be so close in age, but realizing how much work it will be.
And little things like we will need to have 2 high chairs/boosters.
We'll be able to survive with just one crib, but its cutting it close.
My friend has been bringing me bags of her old boy clothing which is awesome!
And I've found some awesome clearance deals at the Target near us that is closing down.
We have a list of names we're working on, but won't decide until we meet him.
We are getting ready and excited for baby brother!
