24 Weeks already?

24 wks (2)
24 wks (4)
I can’t believe that I am already at 24 weeks. So that means I’m 6 months preggo!  I calculate the months by dividing the weeks by 4, but I’ve recently learned that they are apparently lots of different ways people figure months.

School is out, and I am looking forward to a few months of relaxing with the kiddos before the baby takes over our lives in September.  :)  Ah, Summer!  Makes you breathe deep and relish the little moments.   I have already started some cleaning and purging.  There is nothing like the “I just cleaned out xxxx” feeling. It’s so nice to just have the time to do some of that sort of thing.

I am having some killer heartburn lately that is waking me up at night now.  It seems to be food triggered, so hopefully I can pick up on which foods to avoid.  I’m doing pretty okay, otherwise, as I’m in the short but sometimes blissful 2nd trimester.  According to the doctor’s scale, I’ve gained 10 lbs in all… 3 lbs this month.  According to the Wii, I’ve gained 6 lbs in all.  I’m going with the Wii on this one. 

I had my glucose screening, and I think this was the first time I had a morning appointment with it.  Chugging that nasty orange stuff at nine am is just plain gro-dy.  You’re supposed to finish the drink in five minutes.  That didn’t even come close to happening.  I barely got it down in nine minutes.  Ick, Ick, Ick.  Wade wanted some of it, and how I wish I could’ve shared it with him.

There is no news on my pregnancy issues, ie… placenta previa and fluid on the kidney.  I go back mid July to get another ultrasound and hopefully will find MUCH good news. For now, I just wait and hope and pray and try not to think about it.

Only 109 days to go…

    You look great, girlie!! I am sorry to hear about the heartburn… I had pretty bad heartburn w/ Lil too. I remember sleeping in the recliner sometimes, hoping that the upright position would alleviate it some. I hope you enjoy your summer to the fullest! We've been doing some major "purging" around our house too. :) It is a great feeling once it's done. ;)

    You are so tiny. I'm 21 weeks and I've already gained 11 lbs. I have been trying to clean and organize a lot lately too so I can enjoy a clean house while it lasts ;).

    Woo hoo! I just got to hold this little baby girl. So precious! We are praying for you and this new little one! So exciting and scary all at once! Enjoy the house purging. I am hoping to purge the girl's rooms this summer. Oh the fun and drama!
