24-weeks

i had my 24-week pregnancy check-up on thursday afternoon. this was one of the only appointments matt didn't come to and grandma was here to watch the kids so i was all alone for once. and i am so thankful...

i must have waited at least a half hour for the doctor to come in and see me after i got into the exam room. i have never waited in almost five years of coming to this practice. and the doctor left the second my appointment was over to head over for a delivery.

the appointment went well. i am measuring right on track. i can't remember exactly what i weighed at the last appointment but i know that i have put on more than 5 pounds in the last five weeks. our month of travel, visitors, and birthdays have definitely added up for me.

this pregnancy has by far been the easiest and he is becoming more and more active. he does like to preform his acrobatics at night, unfortunately, and it is sometimes difficult for me to fall back to sleep after a midnight bathroom break. i am also already having the 'full' feeling that i don't remember having until the end of the pregnancy with the other two. i thought it was just dealing with the heat, but the doctor said that it is just what happens after you have already had a few kids; things just happen sooner. i go back in four weeks for my glucose test. love.
