Had my 24 week appointment today. Everything is going fine as far as my midwife is concerned. My mom and Kyle both came with my to the appointment because my mom really wanted to here his heartbeat :) It was nice to have them there and for my mom to meet Lynn! They took my blood pressure with one of those stupid wrist readers, which said my BP was high in the 140s. I don't think those are realiable at all....So Lynn rechecked it with a manual BP cuff and it was normal at 118/74. Weird...! haha So, she isn't concerned about it at all. I've gained 2lbs since my last appointment, which I felt very proud about!! I've gained a total of 17lbs so far, and Lynn said I'm doing fine with my weight gain. I am however measuring 3 weeks ahead at 27 weeks... YIKES! I have my glucose test sometime this coming week whenever I get to the lab, and hopefully it doesn't show any diabetes, just a big healthy baby :) Lynn said if no diabetes, she will just monitor his growth. I think I'm just showing really big but I have been showing since like 9 weeks....I have a pretty short torso, so my tummy just sticks out. So, we'll see.
I think Kyle and I have decided on a name, but as of right now we aren't sharing it with many people except family. BAJ are his initials :) We really love the name, but you never know.... Maybe when he gets here we will decide something else. We always call him by this name now though! So I'm thinking it's sticking now!
Well...Here's my belly at 24 weeks. Until the next appointment... !
