This is a BIG week because at 24 weeks babies are viable outside of the womb...although we want her to "cook" for another 14-16 weeks. She is about a foot long, the length of an ear of corn (which sounds quite tasty right now). She has eyelashes and eyebrows. Rapid eye movements are beginning when she dreams....CRAZY, huh?
At our doctors appointment last week, I had to drink a super sugary drink and have my blood drawn for a glucose tolerance test. It measures your risk for gestational diabetes...which of course can lead to extra large babies and problems for me. Luckily I passed with flying colors but did find out my iron is a little low. I started taking iron supplements twice a day to help.
Had to gulp this down in 5 minutes....if anything it made me MORE thirsty...for water that is!!
It is hard to believe we only have 16 weeks to go. Nick and I are both traveling for work in June. He goes out to California and I will be in Dallas and Philly....it is going to make the next few weeks fly by and before we know it July will be here and we will be in the third trimester. FINAL STRETCH!!!
Getting so excited to meet our baby girl!!!
