Week 24 Update

Hey everyone.

This is what the ‘ol belly looks like these days….

I had my fourth OB visit and everything is well.  Heart beat sounded great, and the doctor said I am growing as normal.  I asked him about my crazy heartburn and he said Zantac!

Other than heart burn and the occasional back ache or pain, I don’t have any complications…Yet.

It’s been fun to be actually showing, as people come up and rub my tummy and ask all the normal questions.

I’ve been trying to bond with Spike as he/she is starting to kick more regularly and I can actually feel where he is my belly.  Usually it’s just a simple prayer or tap tap as I hear a song I like.  Mark’s favorite is sticking his mouth directly on my belly and yelling very loudly.   It’s hilarious.

I am still cleaning regularly and finding that my only physical hesitation at this point is bending over.  My belly gets in the way!

I also noticed that if I stand straight up in the shower and look down…I can’t see my feet!

OB Stats:

Weight:151

Heart rate: 150 bpm

Next Visit….Glucose Testing!  Apparently, I have to drink a bottle of questionable clear lemon lime liquid an hour before I come.  Luckily, I’ve been craving citrus drinks!
