Crazy Feeling

Jay usually tries to feel the baby move at night, and that's when she's most active.  Lately she's been really low, so a couple nights ago I put his hand a few inches below my belly button where I was feeling her.  When she moved, it would tickle and kind of make me jump.  I don't know if my skin is thinner or there's less fat protecting me down there or what, but it was way more sensitive!
So last night, she was moving down low again and I had my hand on my belly.  I felt her move a couple times, just small movements.  Then all of a sudden, I felt a protrusion - it felt like a ball pushing out of my belly.  I'm sure it was her hand or foot and she pushed right against my hand. It was so strange and tickled so much that I about jumped out of the bed!

24 Week Appointment

We had our 24 week appointment on Friday, March 1st.  It was pretty uneventful.  We got to hear her heartbeat again and the doctor measured my belly for the first time, which is right on track.  They gave me the juice I have to drink before my next appointment so I can be tested for gestational diabetes, and I'll also get my Rhogam shot at that appointment (because I have a negative blood type).

Jay has been working hard to get the basement done so we can move the office furniture down there and finally get the nursery set up!
