Phil and I went to the doctor again yesterday for our 24 week check-up. Everything is going well. This month I gained the most out of all my months of being pregnant (9lbs.) I talked to the doctor about it, but she said everything is fine because I had not gained that much in the months prior. I have gained a total of 13lbs. so far, but realizing that the major weight gain is coming is a little scary. Phil finally got to hear the heart beat for the first time. He has seen it on the ultrasound, but you can't hear it. Her heart beat was 140 (normal).
Our next appointment is in 4 weeks, right after Easter. I will have a glucose test at the next appointment, but based on past appointments, Dr. Betterton thinks I should be fine.
After the next appointment I will already be in my third trimester, I can't believe it. It is going by so fast. She is already more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound. Supposedly she should grow at least 4 oz. each week for the next few weeks then it will go up. She is kicking and punching on a daily basis and tends to be more active in the evening from about 5 on. Other than being tired and sleeping becoming more awkward, everything is going well and Phil is taking very good care of his now two princesses. We are totally spoiled!
