Last Friday I had my 24 week check-up. This is one of the boring check-ups where all you do is pee in a cup, get weighed, get your blood pressure taken, tell the doctor you feel fine, and listen to baby's heartbeat. I build them up in my mind to be so important, and then I am always a little disappointed when I leave. I did get my consents for an epidural and circumcision though. Michael was joking with me saying I can't have the epidural. I told him that if I didn't sign the consent, then even if I begged for it they wouldn't give it to me. So, he said that I better sign it because he knows I can't handle it. Well, that was just a challenge in my mind. So, I am going to sign it (because I do tend to be a big baby), but I will try my hardest to not get it (we will see how long that lasts).
Anyway, I was a little sad to weight a whopping 165lbs. I have gained a total of 14 pounds by 24 weeks. I had decided that this was too embarrassing to post on my blog, but then I decided that Most women do not gain the recommended 25 pounds during pregnancy. So, why be ashamed? According to babycenter, I am still within my recommended weight for height, but I am quickly getting on the high side of normal. Oh well... What can I say? I like my sweets. My doctor was actually happy about my weight gain. He seemed to be scared that I might not gain enough and get all of my nutrients due to my Celiac disease. Don't worry doc, I am eating plenty!!
My blood pressure was great, and baby's heart rate was in the 140's. Everything is going great so far!
Week 24 Picture!! (Really 24 and 4 days...oops)
Bare belly!! Daaang!!
Come on belly button, you can hang in there!
So far, my belly button is still an inny (hanging on by a thread), and I haven't gotten any stretch marks yet (I thought I found one the other day and had a little break down, but it turned out to be just a line from my clothes... My bad).
