24 weeks

I had my 24 week appointment with my OB today, WOW, time flies. In 16 weeks, or less, I'll be holding a brand new healthy baby boy, God willing. I can't believe David and I will have four children. Quadruple WOW. My appointment went well. I've only gained about two pounds (I started out much heavier than with my other pregnancies so I am definitely hoping not to gain near as much) but the coming months will be HARD. I'm not really doing anything to avoid gaining weight, just not "over doing food". I eat when I'm hungry, and eat pretty much what I want, just try not to over indulge. I need to be walking, something, but I'm not. No one to blame but me, though! I have serious heartburn, but thankfully the headaches and nausea have subsided for the most part, thank you, God! I have this really annoying thing where my arm/arms fall "asleep" while I'm asleep. It hurts/tingles so bad that it wakes me up at night. My OB said it was from retaining fluid and the pressure it puts on my nerves or something like that. I NEVER had this with my other three. I'm thinking it's maybe because I'm older and more out of shape this time. Ahh, the joys of pregnancy. So....so far, so good for the most part.

Aside from that, just want to throw in how proud I am of my boys! They both got commended on their TAKS...YAY. So, they are out of school for Summer. The sad part is Izzy's grade is not TAKS eligible and she has to go for two more weeks, she doesn't like it and neither do I! Because of the new high school being built we won't go back until after Labor Day, right about the time I'm due to have this little one. It is going to be a loooong, hot Summer! Pool, here we come :-)
