24 weeks

Technically I'm 23 weeks and 6 days but I have time to blog today and might not tomorrow. Life with a toddler :)

Things are going pretty well. Starting to feel more pregnant, bending down to get something or trying to squeeze between things is getting a little difficult. Due to a low lying placenta my midwife told me no more running and to try and take it easy. Honestly, the heat stopped me from running a few weeks ago but I'm still getting out there and walking. Josiah doesn't understand why he can't use me as a jungle gym or bounce on my stomach so I'm protecting the baby belly quite a bit these days.  I have another ultrasound in a few weeks and we're hoping my placenta moves. My next appointment will be with an obstetrician and we'll finally get a better idea of when this little girl will be born. Due to complication with Josiah's delivery they are talking of scheduling my c-section earlier than the typical 39 weeks. Praying we get solid answers and little girl can cook as long as possible.
