Monday's Dr. appt- 24 weeks

Monday's Dr. appt was wonderful! I'd been a little worried over the weekend, since Guenther hadn't been moving too much... I guess he was just content that Daddy was in town... maybe I give off a different vibe?

We met with Dr. Privette (who'd been recommended to us by Kerry's friend Jill)... and loved her! She was very friendly and put us at ease... we see her again on May 24th... then we start going every 2 weeks (crazy)!

When Dr. Privette put the microphone on my belly to listen for his heartbeat, he kicked directly at it! (Even Mike saw my belly move, which is really cool, since he hasn't been able to feel him kick yet). Dr. Privette said that he has a lot of room now, which is why I can't feel him all of the time, but that soon I'll feel him moving constantly. He is a little kicking machine. His heart rate was between 150 and 160 and he was just about doing backflips... little show off.

I've gained 8lbs. total and I'm "right on track" according to the doctors. Blood pressure, sugar, etc. are all great, and we go in one month for our 2nd gestational diabetes test. (Please pray they don't limit my sugar... I like sugar, and so does Guenther).
