Update

Well, I am beginning to feel a lot more pregnant then I have before. I have started waddling and my back is always sore. I have been really trying to sleep on my side but many times during the night I will wake up on my back and my tailbone area is numb. I have tried propping a pillow up behind me to stop me from rolling over onto my back but it just gets in the way when I roll to the other side, which I have to do many times during the night otherwise my hips hurt.

I am very much enjoying feeling the baby kicking. There is a lot of rolling around going on in there especially in the evenings. She has been pretty calm in the mornings until the last few days. I swear this child never sleeps. It seems like she is always moving around. The weirdest thing is when I can see a bump roll over my belly. The kicks have been getting stronger too. There have been a few that have surprised me at how strong they were.

I had my checkup yesterday and everything is going well. The heartbeat was found instantly and is very strong. There is a particular measurement that they take which is from the top of my pubic bone to the top of my uterus. It should correspond in centimeters with the number of weeks that I am pregnant. So since I am 24 weeks pregnant that measurement should be 24 centimeters. It was 22 but he said that is fine since I am so small. Usually there is a lot more fat on the women when they do the measurements so mine will probably always run small. In 2 weeks I go in for a gestational diabetes test. Hopefully all goes well with that. I will keep all of you updated.

My boss has started looking for a replacement for me and seems to be having a hard time finding someone qualified. There is a girl coming in tomorrow whom he has already interviewed and I will be showing her around and she will get a chance to show her stuff on the computer. Hopefully she works out and I won't have to worry about him not finding someone in time for me to leave. I still have 3 months at the most so I think there is still plenty of time even if this girl doesn't work out.

Not much else is going on. Just trying to relax and grow a baby.
