Today I am 24 weeks and 3 days. That means, I’m only 15 weeks and 4 days away from the expected delivery date. That doesn’t seem all that long.

Anyway, we had another doctor’s visit today. I only gained 1 lb since my last visit (yea!) and the doctor was happy about that. The heart rate is/was 155 beats per minute. A little faster than before, but he said it was still normal and sounds good. Doc Wittingen measured my tummy this time – it’s 24 inches. I’m not really sure what that means, but I know it was something they do. I have another appointment Dec. 20th and after that I’ll be going to the doctors every 2-3 weeks instead of every 4. Today’s visit was actually really quick. Not much is going on. Well, Ian is starting to kick and the doctor gave us some literature that said that I should be able to feel Ian move 10 times per hour at least 3 times a day. That’s about it. Oh yeah, when PJ came up and told me she was pregnant, she mentioned that the doctor told her not to sleep on her back because it will cut off the blood flow. Well, I asked Doc Wittigen about it and he said I don’t have nothing to worry about. The general idea is that laying on your back for long periods of time is bad, but most people move enough during the night that it isn’t that big of a deal. So I’m in the clear. Alright, that’s it for now.
