24w0d - Was that a kick?

Finally! It's about time little one. I was starting to think all you ever did was sleep. Just this week I'm finally starting to feel a little something going on in there. It's about time dangit! I've waited long enough!

I had my OB appointment on Monday and at that point, I still hadn't really felt much. Being we've already seen baby several times and know she isn't missing any limbs, the doctor wasn't all too worried. Just figured it would come in time. She thinks I may just have a really mellow baby. (Which would be just how I was.) A little reassurance for the day was hearing the heartbeat again. Still hanging in there at 150bpm. Once again, everything looks like it's progressing right on track. This was the first time they did a belly measurement and I was just a little over 23cm, which was also perfect for 23w4d. I mentioned the finger prick blood insulin test that I did last week, and she said if I do that well on the Glucose Tolerance Test I'll be in good shape! That's encouraging.

It feels like we are at a standstill as far as projects go. It's still about 3-4 weeks before the furniture will be in, and who knows if it will be warm enough to actually get the staining done when it does arrive. Let's hope! I'm very slowly making progress on my quilt. Right now I've got it to the point of being basted and ready to be quilted, so I am getting there. Today the wooden letters arrived for my wall letters project. (Sorry, I won't be able to share pictures of that project with you.) I have to get those painted and ModPodged with a scrapbook paper overlay along with a wall plaque with a Daughter saying that I had on my wall when I was little. Maybe working on all these little things will help pass the time a bit.

Whenever someone asks me how I'm doing or how I'm feeling, all I can say is "I feel great!". I'm starting to notice a little shortness of breath from time to time, but other than that, I really have nothing to complain about. (Now that I'm feeling baby a little more I can cross that complaint off my list.)

Can you believe I'm just a couple of weeks away from the THIRD trimester!? Wow - that's just crazy.

By the way, totally feeling baby throughout writing this post!
