Week 24

I went back to the doctor yesterday for my monthly routine appointment. I officially weigh 161 pounds. Officially, that is the most I have ever weighed in my life lol. Of course that is only 4 more pounds than what I weighed on the last visit 4 weeks ago so that is good and on target. Go me. According to What to Expect, “Your baby weighs more than a pound and a half right now and sports a crown-to-rump length of about eight and a half inches (standard letter size!). “ so only 160 and half of it is me (lol) The baby’s heartbeat was in the range of 150 and I actually “heard” him kick on the Doppler. He either doesn’t like the cold (definitely my child) or the pressure in general because he reacted the same way when I used Mary’s stethoscope to listen for his heartbeat. Unfortunately, the doctor says I probably won’t be able to hear him on a regular stethoscope until I am 32 weeks. I am only 24 weeks now :( I thought about seeing if Chad’s sister would let me listen to Landon’s heartbeat but she might find that weird lol. She is due next month, so- well past the 32 week mark.

Also interesting this week:

“Wondering what (and who) your baby will look like? If you had a baby cam, you'd almost be able to tell by now. That beautiful face (though still tiny) is almost fully formed. [I am hoping he looks like Chad :). He was such a pretty baby and he isn’t too shabby now if I do say so myself :) Lucky me.] ….”

I guess I will find out soon enough.
