24 weeks ~ Happy Thanksgiving!!

I had my 24 wk appt on Monday and everything was good. I have to do the glucose test next month which is a standard blood test to check for gestational diabetes. Hopefully I pass!! I was at 138 when I carried Robert and borderline is 140, so that was a little scary for me...just need to watch my carb intake! Well that's it for now. People are really noticing my belly now and are somewhat surprised when I tell them I'm 24 wks...they think I'm further along, but my body likes to carry low and way out front. Helps prevent heartburn but makes it hard to find comfortable pants!

Next appt: 12/19/08 (1 day after our 4 yr wedding anniversary!)
Wt gain: 8 lbs! (14 total so far)
Baby's heartrate: 150's
Cravings: Just about anything!

Your baby weighs about as much as a large mango -- just over a pound. (Length: more than 11 inches.) Source: Babycenter.com

Everything is still going well and my next appt is next Monday. It will be a regular 24 wk check-up. Can't wait for Thanksgiving!! I love the holidays! Lots of yummy food and cooler weather :)

Last Saturday we took a tour of the hospital where I will be delivering this baby...it is much closer than the one I delivered Robert at and I've heard they even have really good cafeteria food! We will be going to St. Joseph's Women's...it's very nice.

I am definitely noticing my growing belly lately, especially when I try to lay down or get up! It's not as easy any more!

I think it's funny that my belly looks smaller than it did at 20 wks but the last one was taken at the end of the day after I ate!! I took this one yesterday morning when my stomach was still pretty empty.


My sis-in-law Krystal took this cute one at 19 weeks...


Recent craving: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but isn't this a normal everyday craving?! Oh, and juice is always good for that constant thirstiness!

Next appt: Nov 24th
