24 weeks

So it has been... awhile. I think almost 2 months but my insurance was accidently shut off and that caused many postponed appointments. So here it is... I'm 24 weeks now. I'm starting to feel more and more pregnant each day. Also I've been having head pain, lightheadness, and almost blacking out. Doctor says the head pain sounds like Tension Headaches so too much stress... wonderful *Note the intense sarcasm*. There's been a lot going on. I live with my best friend and her family, Tristan's talking more, he also has tantrums from hell at times, plus I've had to deal with stress from Chris. Raising a 2yr old while pregnant on your own is not easy, esp. when all the dad does to help is give diaper/ wipes money every 2 weeks (working on child support). Hopefully things get better soon.




How far along? 24 weeks

Weight gain/loss: 160lbs. gained 10 of the 20 I had lost back. Now my doctor can leave me alone and stop trying to get me to drink those Ensure drinks hahaha.

Feeling: Pregnancy wise I'm feeling good aside from some moments of nausea but no puking so that's a plus.

Maternity clothes? Nope :) I feel so lucky this time.

Sleep: Still sleeping the same.

Food cravings: I have random cravings but that's it.

Movement? There was barely any movement except at night until my best friend, her sister, and her sister's boyfriend felt him kick. Now the kid doesn't stop haha. *Another side note: 16yr old boys react to baby kicks hilariously. That boy had the most freaked out look on his face, I can only imagine when he has kids.

What I miss? Drinking as much coffee as I want... haha

Best moment this week: There have been a few funny moments so far this week (it's only Tuesday you know) but none of them any of you would understand because they involve way too much back story.

What I'm looking forward to: Only thing I'm looking forward to is PieCon this year... yes I'm a geek. Tristan's grandpa (on his dad's side) throws it every July and even though Chris and I are not together, I've been told I am invited still. Tristan has a special shirt and everything :).

Next Appointment: July 17th. I believe that's my last once a month appointment and then I will start going every 2 weeks.


They said I'm moving along great and his heartbeat is great. I have to have another sugar test in a month they said because my family has a history of diabetes. I'll try and do another post soon but right now, I have a toddler getting into trouble *sigh*. Oh I want to change my blog name since I will no longer have just a little monkey boy. My mom I believe is doing lions for this one (I wanted the Lion King crib set so bad and she knew) so Jungle themed is looking like the theme but I need a new name. What do you all think?
