24wk follow up...

Yesterday we had our 24 week check up (6months!) and as always everything went well. I have gained 12 pounds, YIKES! I guess it could be worse… I am trying to be good again. This week I did not hit up Chick-fil-A (a pregnancy favorite of mine) on the way to work for breakfast once, very proud of my pregnant self! However, some day’s I cannot pass up a chicken biscuit or the sweet chicken nuggets. Sad. Karch’s heartbeat is beating strong. Hearing the heartbeat is still the most amazing thing in the world. I feel him moving often, but to hear the life from him sends tingles through me. Dr. G started measuring my tummy to make sure he is growing. Next visit will be our last four week appointment! From there on out we will be seeing Dr. G every two weeks- getting close. Hard to belive I could have him in 13 weeks and Karch would be healthy. This is exciting and sad at the same time, because I see how fast times flies and this makes me realize how quickly my little man will grow. Also, I get tested for gestational diabetes at our next visit too. This week we set up our first family photo session! Karch’s newborn pictures will be January 29th, 2009 with Kate. Kate will be taking newborn, 6month, and year old photos. I am excited to be using Kate to capture our memories, she is a good friend of Holly’s (one of my best friends), and her work is amazing- the personalities of each client shines through her work. http://www.juxtaposephotography.com/ http://www.juxtaposephotography.com/blog/ Another biggie for the week, we ordered Karch’s dresser to match his crib. My dad is building the changing station for the top of it. The room is fully complete-crib, dresser, changing table, and bedding!
