24 week update

I'm 24 weeks pregnant - the weeks keep passing by! This week marks a milestone.... a pregnancy is officially considered "viable" at 24 weeks, which is insane to think a little one can make it if they come so early! Of course we want him to keep "baking" as long as possible, but it is reassuring to know that if Easton decides to make an early arrival, he could still be fine. Crazy, huh???

Here's my 24 week picture - notice the nursery in the background, we've made a lot of progress!

I visited my OBGYN for my monthly appointment today ... everything is going great, and I have finally gained some weight. I am up 5 lbs. from my last appointment - usually that would be shocking, but I welcomed the news considering I haven't gained a lot thus far. It took a few tries to find it because SOMEONE was moving around a lot in my belly, but Easton's heartbeat was strong at 145 beats per minute. My pelvic bone-to-uterus measurement was 25 cm, which is right on target. My blood pressure was fine & there was no protein in my urine. It was a good check-up!

I am scheduled to take the glucose blood test next week, which tests for gestational diabetes. I am not supposed to eat/drink anything 4 hours before the appointment, and once I arrive I drink a sweet, syrupy juice. They make me wait an hour and then take blood. Say a prayer that all goes well with the test, and I'll post an update once we get the results.

We've made a ton of progress on the nursery - all of the clothing that we received from our showers & as hand-me-downs are hung up in the closet, and all other gifts are put away. There are decorations/pictures hanging on the wall & we've begun organizing books, hats, socks, toys, etc. into their own baskets. We have a couple more final touches - but I should be posting nursery pics really soon, so stay tuned! :-)
