i had my 24 week appointment today and everything went well. Her heartbeat sounds good and I'm gaining the weight i should. After looking over my 22 week ultrasound the doctor said she is leaving my due date at September 8th. She said there is a 2 week window of what is 'average' size and shes in it, just slightly on the lower side. and i am measuring to match her size which is good. and hey, thats fine with me...hopefully that way she'll be a little easier to push out come September. Dave and I have always said that we want our girls to have my height and our boys to have his. So i guess shes right on track for that.
The picture this week shows off how nice and big my belly is getting. i still have my innie belly button and should for at least a few more weeks. i didn't realize that its normal for it to pop out in the 5th month. I'll enjoy my innie while it lasts. My belly is now constantly growing and I can feel it in my lower back and feet already. I'm going to be hurting come the end of August in the Florida heat/humidity.
She is still kicking non-stop and actually is as i write this which is right on time considering its about 6:30 here. She's awake and kicks on a schedule...6 am, 1030 am, 230 pm, 630 pm, 1030 pm and I'm sure sometime during the night but only the 6 am one wakes me up. I wish she would keep this nice schedule once she's born, but i know thats just wishful thinking.
Dave is making progress on her dresser. The frame is finished and it has 2 (Dave's working on #3 now) out of 5 drawers in place. Its almost ready for me to start putting all of her little clothes in although they'll probably only fill one drawer since her clothes are so tiny!
We will meet her in 16 weeks (no more than 17 since my doctor said she induces at 41 weeks)! Its crazy how soon that is, we can't wait!
