*Navalgazing* Reflections at 24 Weeks Pregnant

Wow!  Twenty-Four Weeks.  For some reason this seems like a milestone to me.  I guess every four-week increment does to some degree, but twenty-four seems particularly significant. 

I had a midwife appointment on Monday that was relativley uneventful.  I did take a glucose and protein test that looked a little green when I first arrived,  and so was slightly anxious, but my blood pressure was very low (as usual) and when I redid the test before leaving it was normal.  Sprout was, and has been, extrememly active and was kicking the doppler.  It made me laugh. 

She is moving around so much now and has gotten strong enough that we can see it when she's kicking.  I could watch for hours.

My bellybutton is starting to stretch out a bit.  I'm glad that it's remained an innie so far and kind of hope it doesn't get to the point where it pops out.  This is going to sound totally bizarre, but my bellybutton is one of my favourite features, so I'll be a bit sad if it doesn't go back to normal after Sprout is born. 

I got some cal/mag and so far that seems to be helping with the leg cramps.  My gums have been a bit sensitive lately, but I also changed my toothbrush so it could just be that.

  3. So glad to hear things are going well. So sorry I couldn't help with the spending mission and offer up a day at the pool here. ;) It's been crazy and I apologize again for the last minute change in plans. Our vacation was last minute and not planned out. I do want to meet up some time soon.
