I went to see Doctor Krause today. I had an 11:00 appt, got a call at 10:50 saying she just ran out the door to do a delivery (which is so exciting :) That has to be the most amazing Job!!
We got to see her at 2:00 instead. We went over the Ultrasound from 2 weeks ago, Baby Newcomer is doing wonderful! He is in a 53% bracket. (which I didn't understand so I had her explain) They base the baby's growth on a percentage they don't want the baby under 10% and don't want to baby over 90%. Baby is Sitting perfect at 53% that was good to hear cause I have a feeling I am going to have a large baby, but so far he is normal weight :) Also 24 weeks is a big milestone for the pregnancy the baby is now viable. (I think that's the right word) Which means baby's chances of surviving outside the womb are high. Obviously there is alot of growing the baby has to do yet on the inside but that is a very encouraging feeling to have :)
Me on the other hand have to cut back on junk food. Gained a few to many lbs in the last 4 weeks. No more french fries for me :( The Doctor said its nothing to worry about! (but I'm still going to take it easy on the junk food)
While the Doctor had the Doppler thing on my stomach listening to his heartbeat he decided to kick it! not just a little kick but a "get that thing off my mommy" kick! haha It was to funny we both jumped a little it made a really loud noise out of the machine. Our active little guy had a heartbeat of 161bpm Doctor said he must have been moving for a while.
I also took a look at my belly bottom the other day and saw it is starting to pop out oh my word!! haha.
I also got the Valences for the baby's room. I wanted to make sure I liked the colors before all the bedding came in sense it was order online only and I LOVE IT!! If you want to check it out it is on my registry at JCPenny's.com
God Bless!
