Baby apointment at almost 24 weeks

Well... We had our latest Dr. Appointment last night it wasn't as surprising as the last one.. Lol.. Things are going really well.. Dr. talked about our ultrasound she said I could tell you didn't want twins I said well no, but if it happened i'd be ok with it either way it would've been a shcok.. She said that Baby looks good and healthy... I told her we were unable to figure out the sex of the baby and she asked me if I was sad and I said yeah, but trying to be ok with it.. She said she wished she could get us back in for a antother one and we'll have to think of a reason to get back in and we joked that I was having pains and needed to get another one done and she kinda just laughed.. Our clinc doesn't have an ultrasound machine and she said they were gonna get one, but not real soon.. We heard the baby's heart beat again took her a little while to get it cuz she said it sounded like baby was doing somersaults once she got it, it was at 145 this time and she said that I'm measuing well.. I asked her about the Birthing classes cuz the one we were told about when we did our health histroy was for like the week before the baby is due, and I told that wouldn't work and so we are just waiting to hear back about when we can take our class and sign up for it.. We are almost in week 24 it's crazy it's going by so quickly and I can only imagine how much more quickly it will go once Christmas and New Years is all over.. We are planning a trip back to Wisconsin after Christmas and we wanted to make sure with being futher along that it was ok with the Dr. that we could go and if we needed to drive or fly and she said yes it would be ok just make sure to stretch out your legs and take a break every couple of hours to avoid blood clots.. So Dr. says it's ok we are coming back to Wisconsin for a little over a week.. She wanted me to get my glucose testing done before we left so I go in on the 26th in the morning to do that.. The last few weeks we've ( well I have) been noticing the movement of the baby a little usually in the morning, before I go to bed and a litle in the afternoon, but noticed it more when i'm just relaxing and not while i'm working or anything like that.. It's been realy neat to be able to feel it.. There was this one time in the morning Gil put his semi cold hand on my belly to feel it and left it there for a few mintues and all of a sudden I felt like this punch or something and I was like did you feel that and he goes that wasn't you and I said no that was the baby and it hurt.. I told him I think the baby punctured something inside me and it hurt for most of the day it was weird like baby didn't like Daddy's cold hand.. Lol.. since then he has been able to feel it a little here and there which is neat for both of us.. I told him once I wished he was able to feel it for a little while like I can just so he can see how it feels cuz I was trying to explain it to him that just doens't do justice. Ha.. I am so glad that God has giving us this oppertuinty to go through this together.. We are still working together to try to get names figured out I think we agree more on a girls name then boys.. so it better be a girl.. Lol.. I have been told with the way i'm carrying the baby it's a boy cuz my hips are gone or something.. Gils friend from work gave us a few books and one of them is like 50 different things to try to see if it's a boy or girl I told Gil we should try it and see what it tells us.. Lol.. Still no cravings really, nauseous and headaches here and there.. Still haven't really gotton sick.. I got sick for like a day and that was about it... I've had heartburn a few times.. I was told that having heartburn means that baby will have lots of hair so we'll see... Lol.. Nothing to much is changing other then being able to feel baby move a little.. Almost forgot that i'm starting to not fit into my clothes, when we got my Thanksgiving outfit I bought some black pants to wear for work and now I need to go buy some jeans cuz yesterday I put a pair of jeans on and they were soooo tight and poor baby getting squashed all day yesterday.. I texted my Mom and told her that I'm getting to big to fit in my clothes she said well that's a good thing I said yeah it's just sad.. Lol.. I was tyring to upload some of our Christmas pictures, but it wasn't letting me do it.. Oh well i'm sure you've seen them on facebook.. Lol.. We ordered some Christmas cards, but they haven't come in yet, once we do I will post a picture of it since we are unable to send one out to everyone at least you'll be able to see what it looks like.. Thanks again for reading hope this finds everyone well and everyone has a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year..
