24 Week Update

So we have actually hit the 6 month marker...the finish line inches closer and closer each day! My belly also grows bigger and bigger each day:). I had my 24-week appointment today. The dreaded glucose screen wasn't near as bad as I thought. Besides the sugary sweet drink...it wasn't half bad. I got to hear his strong, healthy heartbeat, and it seems all is well!

The SCARY part of the appointment is that I was asked to fill out the "delivery plan". I don't know about you other 1st time moms, but I was not NEAR ready to decide on some of those things yet! Luckily...not written in stone, so there is room to change your mind, but wow. Do I want this during labor, do I want that...no clue! Hopefully some of that clarity will come with the birth classes which are soon to come!

This week the baby is a little over a foot and weighs a little over one pound. He feels a whole lot bigger than that when he is kicking my ribs! I have a slow steady pain on my right side under my ribs where he likes to bear down. I feel as though he already has a little stubborn personality! I can't wait to meet him! And still no name decided. We have a clear front runner, but haven't COMPLETELY decided yet...such a hard decision! Below are some 24 week pictures of the belly bump! It's popping out there!
