24 Weeks:
23 Weeks
23 Weeks
The past few weeks have been going well, and I can honestly say that this pregnancy is FLYING by! This baby boy is so active and it seems like he is more active than Jackson was. It is reassuring to feel him move so much, but sometimes the movements are so powerful that it wakes me up or keeps me up at night from the constant kicks/punches/movement. I wonder if that will translate to a more active or demanding baby once he is born? Jackson was so laid back for the first year and a half, so naturally this just might be my wild man! :)
I had my scan to try for a second look at his spine and everything looked perfect. As my ultrasound tech said, this baby gets an A++ so far. We didnt get any more good face shots, but the tech was able to witness this baby moving like crazy. She said he was a wild man, but that it was always a good thing to see an active baby. He is now head down, but as always, that could always change.
My heartburn has kicked up more, but it definitely seemed worse with Jackson than it does now. I can easily keep it at bay with a Tums and it doesnt wake me up a night like it did with Jackson. Hopefully it stays tolerable. These past few weeks, the weight has been piling on and I already feel like a whale. At my last OB visit, my doctor said I had gained 6-7 lbs since my last visit, and they look for me to gain more like 3-4 lbs a month. Oops! I blame the Holidays! :) She wasnt concerned b/c I am still well within normal limits. I was only up 13 lbs at my visit, which is still a good bit less than this time with Jackson. At 25 weeks pregnant with Jackson, I had put on 20 lbs. As long as I dont have any more months of extra weight gain, I will be on track to gain 25-30 lbs with this pregnancy. Here's hoping! Also, I have my gestational diabetes test scheduled for Jan 5th...who does that right after the Holidays? I hope I pass!

I am excited to reach the 24 week milestone-fetal viability! Although-I do want this baby to stay put for the long haul. We want a healthy full term baby and we need time to get things together. There is still so much to do to prepare for this boy's arrival.
