24 Weeks

24 weeks!! I've made it another week!! I had my 24 week doctors appointment yesterday. Lyndon wasn't able to come with me this time. He had to work. Everything is looking great. He is right on track. We listened to the heart beat and his beats per minute is around 140. The doctor felt around to see how the baby is positioned. He is head down and his feet (That kick me all day and night) are on my right side. Last month at the ultrasound they said he was measuring big, but this month he has seemed to even out. Our bundle of joy is right on track! :)

I have officially gained 27 pounds. I felt like this was a little much, but since I started at around 112 at 5 ft 6 in, the doctor said I needed to gain more weight than normal. So, that is looking good.

Every night I seem to be up at 2:30 AM. I feel like Alden will be up at 2:30 for feedings when he is born. Of course, once I wake up, I have to go to the bathroom, then I toss and turn for about 30 to 45 minutes trying to get back to sleep. My belly definitely has changed the way I sleep.

Alden has been kicking up a storm! I think that is all he does. He never stops. I think he kicks in his sleep. Lyndon says it looks like there is an alien in my belly because he pushes so hard on my belly.

In 2 weeks I have to go back to the doctor to do a stress test, then I have my next appointment in 4 weeks. This pregnancy has gone by so fast! I can't believe I am this far along already. It feels like I just took a pregnancy test.


Lyndon and I are doing great! I put in my two week notice at my job at Guardian Home Care. I will be teaching dance and tumbling this fall and winter. I'm planning on being a stay-at-home mom. I'm super excited!! :)

Lyndon has been training a lot with the fire department, working at Idaho Garbologist and working at the church with the youth group. We have been BUSY BUSY BUSY!!! I told Lyndon that it feels like I haven't seen him in weeks... And technically I haven't. We basically see each other, say good night and go to sleep. He is gone before I go to work in the morning.... This weekend we will get to spend time together! FINALLY! :)

UNTIL NEXT WEEK!!!

Lyndon, Stacy, and Alden
