24 Week Appointment

I had my 24 week appointment today. I just LOVE my midwife; she takes her time and gives me an opportunity to ask any questions. She also brings up things that I tend to forget, ie: my sciatic nerve and lower back pain. I now have a referral to Minser Chiropractic tomorrow morning! I'm pretty excited about it because my insurance actually covers chiropractic care AND their clinic. I hope it stays cheap...

Anyway, my weight, blood pressure, and other random things are all good. The only weird thing is that apparently I'm measuring pretty large. (For those who haven't had a pregnancy before, they measure from your pubic bone to the fundus and the centimeters in height usually match up with your "weeks pregnant.") So I'm 24 weeks pregnant, I should have measured at 24 cms... She said not to worry, it could just be the way he's sitting in there or a weird measurement happening...or he's a big ol' butterball. It's just kinda funny because at my ultrasound at 21 weeks, they said everything was to the date! Let's just hope that it's not anything crummy like gestational diabetes.

Another funny little moment was that when she was using the doppler, his heartbeat was at the typical 155 (he's been that pretty much every time). She commented, "Oh, so that doesn't go along with the old wive's tale!" With which I responded that we all thought he was a girl. Haha. I hope he doesn't have a complex.

I'm pumped to go to the chiropractor, and now I'm a little anxious for my gestational diabetes test.
