Pregnancy Update: Week 24

This pregnancy has absolutely drained me of my energy and all motivation. I have all intentions to be productive but when the I have a free moment all I want to do is lay down and watch Bones. Between the exhaustion and my hip pain I find myself sitting or lying down a lot.

Thankfully I have an amazing husband who helps take care of crazy kids and his overly emotional, pregnant wife. I feel that with each pregnancy it gets a little more difficult.

Other than my aches, pains and sleepiness, Baby 4 and I are doing great. I took my 1 hour glucose test the other day so that was disgusting. I really can’t stand that nasty drink, it’s so hard to get down and keep down. After I drink that stuff I feel like crap for the rest of the day. But the good news is that I got my test results back and I passed so I don’t have to take the 3 hour glucose test.

I’ve started having weird and very vivid pregnancy dreams. I already have weird dreams when I’m not pregnant so you can imagine how strange they get when I am pregnant. I feel a little more anxious about this pregnancy (no logical reason) so I’m sure that has an impact on my dreams.

I’m typically pretty busy keeping up with my busy boys, work and other household duties that I rarely have the opportunity to really think about being pregnant with another boy. The reality probably won’t set in until a few days have this little guy is here.
