Unplanned Doc Visit

So yesterday, I started to show signs of an uti. To be sure I went to the doctors today since uti's can lead to preterm labor. Turns out that I was correct and had the start of an uti. Glad I went otherwise I would drive Clay nuts all weekend with do I have one....no I don't....well maybe I do, since we all know I'm the biggest worry wart out there. Dr Wagaman started me on antibiotics and they will double check to see if it's gone next Friday at my 28th week checkup.

Names, Names, and Crazy Family

So I probably haven't told everyone but we have decided on names. We decided to go with traditional Irish names. If baby gil is a boy, his name will be Liam James, James after my father & brother. If baby gil is a girl, her name will be Leigha Bristol, Leigh after my sister and Bristol after my mother. As for god parents now that's still up in the air. We had originally thought Shannon and Seth but Jimmy seemed really upset with that idea. So Seth decided that they need to have a man competition and compete for the "God Father Title". They were planning events such as drinking, hunting, jousting, and eating. What this has to do with being a god father I'm not really sure. But all the talking about it brought the subject to Mitchell's attention who now also wants to be the god father. Shannon keeps laughing because she safe being the only aunt and all. Somebody help me.

6mths

I look and feel so round. I finally had to take out my belly button ring because my skin is stretching so much. For the first time in my life I can actually see my belly button, which is starting to turn inside out. The symptoms I'm having is mostly heartburn and an itching abdomen due to my skin stretching. The baby still can't seem to get enough mexican food, thank goodness Clay loves it. You know its bad when Jimmy is sick of going out to mexican restaurants with us and he was only home for two weeks. The baby is moving very well and is now starting to play back. If you poke him he'll poke you back. It's funny until he starts kicking my pelvic bone. Baby Gil also gets startled when Jager starts to bark but settles down quickly. At least he's getting used to the barking now.

24 weeks checkup

So today was my 24wk checkup. I now weight 164 lbs which for the first time in my pregnancy I'm not considered under weight, thanks to both set of grandparents for feeding us very well over Christmas break. Also all my vitals are were they are supposed to be for 24 wks. Dr Gomez continued with checking the baby's heartbeat and baby gil kicked him, and not a light flutter kick but a karate chop kick. Dr Gomez proceeded to say I see the baby is moving extremely well. He also was first one to tell me the heartbeat is at 145bpm. I also confirmed with Dr. Gomez that it is ok to continue my 2 mile walks with Jager. In four weeks I take my glucose test to see if I have gestational diabetes. There is still no word on when my third ultrasound will be to see if my placenta has moved.
