The day the baby turned 24 weeks was just one day before I turned 30. Honestly, I like to pretend that turning 30 bothers me but it really doesn't... or hasn't yet. I really think this is going to be a great year - how can it not with my second child on his/her way?!
I went to the doctor last week and met with the Nurse Practitioner. The baby's heart rate was in the 150s and everything with me checked out fine, though she did mention my weight seemed a bit high. She was careful to tell me that she thought I still looked "great" and said I should just remain active and drink lots of water. My belly was measured for the first time and it measured perfectly. So my weight isn't going exclusively to my belly... though I am not sure where the rest of it is? At 24 weeks, the baby is a bit over a pound and almost a foot long. I suppose that is not a good enough excuse.
I have continued to walk as often as possible and have been more aware of my water consumption. Being sick for two days over the week may also contribute to less weight gain this time around. I gained only 26 pounds with Deviney and went 39 weeks. Fingers crossed I don't surpass that with baby #2!
