24 week checkup

My appointment went fine today. Dexter is growing great, he actually measured 2 days ahead (24 weeks, 3 days) He weighs 1 pound 2 oz and his head circumference is 220mm. So everything is right on track. My cord is defiantly implanted on the side of my placenta so I still get to have frequent ultrasounds to make sure he is growing proper.

In addition to my ultrasound and doctor visit I did the glucose challenge test to make sure I dont have gestational diabetes. This consisted of drinking a little maybe 5 oz bottle of sugar water and then getting my blood drawn 1 hour later. It wasnt too bad except that much sugar wasnt really fun with my already sensitive GI System.

Next appointment is Feb 5th. Now its time to watch some TV and hope that the Gators beat Oklahoma in the big game. Go Gators!
