24 week appt.

Today was a great appointment.  It took the nurse a little while to find the heartbeat, even though I heard it clear as day.  (Proud mama!)  Doc came in and said my weight and blood pressure are great.  Everything seems to have been smooth sailing.  I asked my questions about my charlie horse, and he gave me his answers.  He then measured my belly, and said it is also on track.  It measures 24 inches, how cool is that???  He prepped me for next appointment and then sent me on my way.  All in all, a great appointment!

Movement

I started feeling something last Friday.  I wasn't certain, and kept comparing it to gas.  Last night it definitely was not gas.  I felt her kick hard.  I had been cramping and very uncomfortable, and then she sent me a sign to say everything was okay.  I love this!

Appointment updates? Anatomy scan showed she is still a girl.

Movement?  None yet....  Christi (OB nurse) says by my next appointment (24 weeks), I should have felt her.  

 

Anatomy Scan

She was wiggling and kicking the entire time.  Everything is measuring great.  She is still a she, and measuring 2 days ahead.  She weighs 14 oz.  They got good shots of everything.  We were not able to get a good shot of the heart.  The tech saw the 4 chambers, but baby was face down, so it was not a great picture.  She had her hands on her face the entire time, and we could not get a profile shot.  Doc says we'll check those 2 things at my 28 week visit.  Other than that, our little one is doing great!
