24 Weeks

Wednesday afternoon was my 24 week doctor's appointment. It came at a good time, because up until then, this had been the most difficult week of either of my pregnancies - BY FAR. Sunday through Tuesday I experienced extreme nausea, followed by some physical illness. I also felt continuous stomach cramping, making it difficult to do carline and lunch duty at work. By Wednesday I felt about 90% better, but I thought it was important to bring up these unusual feelings to my doctor. She said that with the extreme heat/humidity wave that we experienced Sunday through Tuesday, I needed to drink extra amounts of water and stay as cool and as hydrated as possible. Other than that, the cramping could have also been due to a growing baby, as I mentioned to her that both Chris and I did feel Peanut Butter kicking regularly Monday night (that was the first time Chris had ever felt/seen PB move). Peanut Butter had a strong heart beat in the 140s, and seems to be doing a-okay. My next appointment is scheduled for September 25th.
