Pregnancy Journal :: Week 24

4/23/10 :: day 169

This little boy is a kickin’ this morning.  It seems like he is playing the drums in my belly.  While typing this he was kicking so I put my hand on my stomach and felt the strongest “hand on belly” kick to date.  It was freaking awesome!!!!  I called Derek right away to brag about my experience. He is now beginning to kick WAY above my bellybutton.

(1:52pm) Another 1st…I just saw my belly move from a little baby kick.  Super cool.  It’s only going to get crazier from here!!!!  I wish Derek was here to witness it.

4/26/10 :: day 172

Last night Derek and I went to celebrate my nephew’s 7th birthday with my family.  We went to Memphis Pizza Cafe, and chowed down on some pizza.  Right on cue with my first bite of pizza Grayson started kicking.  I wish I knew if it meant he likes pizza or hates it.  I have heard both.  I find it hard to believe that any kid of mine could hate pizza, or anyone for that matter.  Pizza is like heaven.

After pizza we went bowling, but I just sat and watched.  For whatever reason it felt like I had fallen off a building onto a concrete pad.  I was aching all over.  All I did yesterday was go to church, go grocery shopping, clean the house a bit, and bake.  Even though I would take plenty of breaks throughout the day my heels, legs, hips (mainly the left), lower back, and elbows were throbbing.  Needless to say I didn’t partake in the bowling.  I just sat and took pictures.  I still had fun.  My fun was just in conjunction with some aching bones.

My hunger level is off the chart today.  All I can think about is food right now.  They say thirst can sometimes disguise itself as hunger, but I have drank a ton of water today and that has not helped.  So…nope…not thirsty.  Just hungry. Ahhhhh!!!

4/27/10 :: day 173

I’ve been having a few slight stomach pains.  Sometimes when I stand I can’t stand all the way up.  It’s like my stomach is still contracted, and I stood up before the muscles had an opportunity to release.  At one point in the day I stood up and began to walk to the kitchen, but my stomach had other plans.  It contracted so strong that I fell back on to the arm of the couch for a moment.  That was the most extreme pain I’ve had so far.  I didn’t experience bleeding or anything else, so I think I’m okay.  If my stomach does it again I will be calling my doctor.

4/28/10 :: day 174

I stayed home from work today due to an extreme lack of sleep last night, and awaking to a body full of aches and an upset stomach.  I tossed and turned all night long.  My hips were constantly in pain, and always having to pee didn’t help one bit.  I hate to say it, but I think having Derek in the bed with me didn’t help.  Kicking him out was NOT an option.  I would rather have him with me, than on the couch.  He would, however, go to the couch willingly…that thing is dang comfortable.
