I am now 24 weeks, also known as V (viability) day, because the baby is now viable outside the womb. Let’s hope baby decides to bake for another 16 weeks or so, but it is still a nice milestone!
I feel like I am starting to look really big. And as you might be able to tell, my belly button is really sticking out! I guess that’s what happens when you have an outie. I am still feeling really good. I can tell sleeping is going to get interesting the bigger I get. I am still sleeping pretty well but I do wake up uncomfortable sometimes.
I had my 24 week appointment last week and everything was good. The heart rate was 150 and my fundal height was 24.5 cm – so it appears that baby is growing properly. My weight gain is also right on track. In the next few weeks I will officially weigh more than Jason! At my next appointment (28 weeks) I “get” to do my glucose tolerance test, then I start every 2 week appointments.
Baby is still moving a lot. We are enjoying feeling him/her move around.
We are trying to narrow down our name list, but are having a very hard time with girl names. There are a lot of names we can’t use because they don’t sound right with our last night. We are taking suggestions!
We are still working on getting things crossed off our checklist. The glider for the nursery should be here in a few weeks. We have completed our registries at Target, Buy Buy Baby, and The Land of Nod. We still need to pick out and order a tree decal for the nursery. I have a few crafty projects I need to work on (making a crib skirt and mobile).
I think that is all the news for now!
