Almost 24 weeks!

I'm just about 24 weeks, and I feel like I'm growing everyday! I recently went and got a few more maternity clothes. Our baby boy is still as active as ever!! Sometimes I feel like he's trying to escape!! I'm sure as he grows up he's going to be keeping Travis and me very busy! Haha!!

We had a Dr. appointment last week. Dr. said everything is still going good! Our next appointment should be rather interesting... I will be tested for gestational diabetes, receive a rhogam shot, and we'll have another ultrasound. Busy, busy!! I'm not sure if many know what the rhogam shot is... It has to do with my blood type. My blood type is A- which means my blood is Rh negative. If the baby's blood is + and our blood comes in contact with each other, my body will see the baby as a foreign object and start to produce antibodies to fight the baby. So the rhogam shot takes care of this problem so all is safe for the baby. The shot is given right around 28 weeks. I'm a little nervous to get it since its given in your "hip" (aka butt), but I've heard it's not as bad as it seems it would be. We are excited to have another ultrasound! We love seeing out little guy!!
