24 weeks.. and counting!

Well sometime last week I hit the 24 week mark.. for those of you who have been reading my previous posts you know my due date has moved about a zillion times! So I just know that by Friday I have def hit a new week lol  Anyways, I had my appointment on Thursday and everything went swell!  Baby Girl is still moving around a ton, gaining lots of weight, and the heart beat is nice and strong.  My dr estimated she weights about 1lb 9oz now! When it came time to get the ultrasound she was being a little turkey and kept her hands in front of her face.. and she wasnt moving much.  So we were unable to get any good pictures but at least we have it all on video.  I try to remember how much Kinsey moved around when I was pregnant with her and its hard because I worked 40+ hours a week and was always moving around busy with other things so it seems like she only moved later at night.  But this little girl is going constantly!!!! I swear her favorite thing to do is use my bladder as a kicking target... We were at the Davis County Fair a couple days ago and she hit me so good I literally thought I was going to pee my pants (TMI.. I know lol) and to make matters even worse, we could only find one out house that was so full I didnt dare to use it.  Thankfully Brandon found other public restrooms.  This is not the first time this has happened either!! Another thing she likes to do is stretch out and that is quite painful!

I have been feeling pretty good so far.  I have had a few nights and days where I experienced the "morning sickness" stuff but thanks to my friend Zofran I was able to go about my day :)  I am extremely tired and cant seem to get enough sleep.  I sleep as much as Kinsey most days and that just doesnt feel like enough.. I have even snuck in a Dr. Pepper to keep me going through the day! I didnt have one ounce of caffeine when I was pregnant with Kinsey or the whole time I was breastfeeding so that just proves how gosh dang tired I was.  My belly is definitely noticeable and strangers are even starting to rub it (AWKWARD!!).  I dont even like people I know rubbing it unless I really like them haha. And once again, my belly button is now an outie and you can even notice it when I have a shirt on! I read in a magazine that its referred to as the "turkey timer" that "pops" way before the turkey is done haha kinda funny..  Kinsey has started to notice my belly even more and still likes to lay her head on it when watching her morning cartoons.  I will lift my shirt up and let her rub lotion on my belly and explain to her that her baby sister is in there and she will hug it and even kiss my belly! Then she laughs at my belly button and shows me hers lol. So far so good on everything and I hope it stays that way :) Next time is the dreaded glucose test.. UGH! I failed and had to do the 3 hour test with Kinsey so cross your fingers I pass this time around!

24 weeks! I know I said I would start posting my belly pic on here but there is never anyone around to take my pic when I want it taken lol.. I will work on it! :)
