24 weeks!!

I thought I’d show you another angle with the pictures this week, a front view. I seem to be growing a little every day. At my doctor’s appointment, I got measured for the first time, right on track. Baby K’s heartbeat was around 160. I can tell he is getting bigger and stronger, his kicks/punches/flips move my whole belly now. He still prefers hanging out in my pelvis and jumping on my bladder though so it makes it hard to feel him on the outside all the time. At my next appointment (28 weeks), they will do an ultrasound to check on the placenta, and I’ll get to enjoy a sweet drink for my glucose tolerance test. I’ll be there for over an hour probably. Keep your fingers crossed that my pancreas works well, and I don’t have to return for the fun diabetes screen.

Race Weekend is fast approaching so we’ll be at the party house (the Krodel parents) all weekend for the Indy 500. Unfortunately, my OB doesn’t think I will be able to tolerate the heat (or drunks) this year so I won’t be able to attend, but on the flip side, I’ll get quality time with my mom, grandma, and aunt. Hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend!!

The next update will come to you from sunny Florida!! Matt and I are going on our “Babymoon”. We’ll be headed to Orlando next Saturday. Matt can only stay until Tuesday because of work so my mom volunteered to come spend the rest of the week with me. Yes, I know I'm spoiled. ;) We’re so looking forward to time off work with each other. We’re hoping to do a whole lot of nothing while we’re there.
