Somehow since our ultrasound I've already had another appointment!!
This was one of my fastest appointments to date. After showing up about 15 minutes early (per instructions I might add!) to do my glucose test, I was informed my glucose test isn't until week 28 (which I recalled at that very moment). Somehow they thought I made it up and showed up early on my own...I'm still confused! I got right on in to my appointment though and after talking with Dr. Talsky the verdict was everything is going beautifully. From my weight gain, to Greyson's heartbeat, to blood pressure...all of it was great! I was told to keep up the good work and not to get discouraged as subsequent pregnancies are usually more uncomfortable than the ones before because everything is stretched out. Truth!!
Since the appointment was fast and I don't have much to report, I'll just put in a few thoughts about the pregnancy so far...
*He is a mover and shaker. If I sit down, within minutes he's moving. At night, I get a solid 30 minutes of kicking and moving before falling asleep. Same in the morning when I sit down to have a drink of coffee. I think we might be in trouble!
*Since about 20 weeks, every afternoon I hit a lull. I feel an overwhelming urge for a nap, I am often nauseous and in general don't feel too great. It passes usually within an hour or so, but for now...it's quite frustrating!
*I've had a great healthy appetite. I enjoy eating, but I don't want to eat all the time. A little heartburn has started to settle in, but he and I are losing space fast so it stands to reason!
*I've been trying really hard to soak up this pregnancy. There is a lot happening around me with two little ones to potty train, drop off at preschool, dress and love on every day. All the while, I've got another one who depends souly on me for everything else. It's tiring and most days I'm more than ready for bedtime and 15 minutes to worry just about what I want to do with my time. But I try and stop each day and soak up a kick, bump or nudge from him. I know down the road, I'll ache for these crazy days in my life...and ache for the feeling of a baby kick or bump in my belly.
*I've loved knowing Greyson is Greyson...including having his name decided. I feel such a close bond with him doing pregnancy this way.
*Our next appointment will be my glucose test and it happens October 25th. It's crazy how fast time is flying!!!
