24 wks PREGNANT & 24 wk check up

Baby Hummel really starting to show himself off!!!
Patrick James Hummel....growing tremendously at 24 wks!!!!

Last saturday marked us at 24 wks along! Hard to believe we are on the home stretch! Since my last blog I have felt more awake along with frequent bathroom use!!! Within the last wk I got up at least 3-5 times to use the bathroom. It also doesnt help that I'm extremely thirsty prior to laying down in bed...this gal can't get enough milk :) I havent been sleeping the greatest within the last wk or so....I sleep for an hr or so on my left side & then have to flip over to my right side b/c back hurts alot. My heartburn has gotten worse since my last months check up. I have bought 2 new bottles of tums and at least 1 bottle is gone. I thought Neal had bad heartburn but I guess I was wrong!!!! For Thanksgiving Patrick enjoyed some Turkey Cookies thanks to Gr8 Gma Sies....we had at least a dozen! I can feel him move more & more...still havent felt that kick yet but I know he is moving around! Today I had my 24 wk Check Up with Dr. Rudat. I'm not to keen on my weight gain since last month but I guess I have to gain weight sometime! I'm now at 139.6pds. My test for Diabetes was negative...thank goodness b/c this gal likes sugar! The doctor measured my tummy and it is right at 24 so I'm right where I need to be! Patrick's heartbeat was at 140 beats per minute....so still very active! My next check up is on Dec 30th and this will be my last 4 wk between dr visits appt. Then from 30 wks to 36 wks I go in every 2 wks and then from 36 wks on I go in every wk! It is still hard to believe he will be here in about 3 1/2 months!
