24 weeks!!

Had my appt today! I was confident that I had gained extra weight! Like 10 lbs I was expecting. And I was expecting that I would get a little talking to from my dr because of the gain. And on top of that I had a lunch meeting so I had a full lunch right before my appt.

So we went to the appt and had the ultrasound first off. It was only 2D this time but still amazing. I will post the pics tomorrow after I scan them. It was amazing, we could see all of his ribs, his amazing spine and the skin over his spine, and yup....he still has a penis! So he is definitely a boy and all of our green, brown and blue clothes will not go to waste. He has chubby cheeks, as much as you can tell on the screen, and not much of a chin. He was just perfect! Oh, and his head is shaped nice and oval. He is sitting upright so in the wrong position right now but tons of time to flop around! It is just so amazing what you can see on the ultrasound. I wish I could see him each month! He is in the 51% bracket, but the solographer said most babies are about the same size up until the 24-25 week mark and this is when they start filling out and getting larger! He also said that when the baby is in the womb, he has his mother's dominant traits because he is connected to us, getting all of our nutrients and basically living off of us. It isn't until he is born and completely disconnects with his original lifeline that he is able to take the dominant gene in his life. So just because my hubby is a big man, doesn't mean I am going to have a big baby. And with my keeping my weight down, it is possible that he won't be as big as Michael was!

So anyway, after that I did the normal pee in a cup and then got weighed....only gained 1.5 lbs! I let out a woohoo! I was so surprised! Terry just chuckled at me but he doesn't realize exactly how big I was when I was prego with Michael! And I want to slip right into shape after Sawyer is born! The rest of the appt was quick. Good heartbeat...146...everything looks great with my not having any pains, bleeding, etc. So it was a quick appt and the next one is March 31! It was such a good appt that I told Terry we needed to go out to dinner right after the appt! So we did! :)

Michael keeps mentioning about labor and he's not looking forward to me having to go into labor. I am not sure who mentioned it to him but he has been talking about it, not in detail, but mentioning it. I haven't really explained anything to him yet but I will sometime! Other than that, he is still really excited about the baby! Thank the Lord for my family and my healthy little man that is coming! I am soooo glad it is working out this way!
