24 Weeks

This is a big week. This is the week of viability. Meaning if something were to go wrong, baby could be born and survive in the NICU. Of course this is not ideal but it does give a little piece of mind that baby girl could survive on the outside.
I went the OB on Monday and everything is going well!  Weight is continuing to go up at a good rate, blood pressure is staying a good rate and belly is measuring on track.
I have to do the glucose test to test for diabetes within the next couple of weeks.
OB listened to baby's heart beat, she was good and normal. Baby girl also kicked/punched the dopplar while Doctor was listening. Apparently she didn't appreciate the intrusion. This also happened as the doctor was asking me if I feel baby move. I feel baby move almost every time I am holding still. I don't feel her, when I'm working or moving about. But if I sit or lay down for any amount of time, I'll feel her wiggle and dance.  Sometimes more than others, depending on what I have eaten lately. Greg has felt her move a few more times and we have even seen my belly move when she's wiggling. That was crazy seeing my belly move for the first time.
So all is well with the dr appts. I am going to see the OB and the specialist for an ultrasound on the same day next month (22nd). Made that easy on myself since they are located in the same building just on separate floors.
I told my OB about the one of the specialist being concerned about pre-term labor and she says that there is no reason to be concerned. Everything is normal, and  when I have something to worry about she will let me know.
I just can't wait for baby girl to be here! Only 16 weeks left till due date!
Feeling larger!



Greg has finished painting baby's room! He did a pretty good job.  I love that it's super girly!
We have all the furniture ordered. Crib, Dresser and rocking chair! We should have everything in about 8 weeks. The dresser and crib had to be ordered and its going to take 8 weeks for them to arrive. Greg picked up the chair yesterday. Just have to get it up the stairs now.


In the meantime, I got the carpets cleaned and I' m starting organizing things around the house. And try not to buy too many baby things until I have places to put to them.
