Only 9 weeks Left!!

I had another doctor's appointment this morning - According to the doctor, Carter measures (approximately) 16 inches long and weighs about 3.3 pounds AND is gearing up for a growth spurt (I know my appetite has definitely returned!!). He should gain approximately 1/2 lb per week until his due date.

The little guy moves a lot during the morning (while I am getting ready for work and after I eat breakfast) and makes consistent movements throughtout the day - but by 9pm he calms down. I might feel a movement every once in awhile, but nothing that keeps me up at night or wakes me up - YEAH!! According to the doctor, all this moving is a sign that Carter is active and healthy!

My appointments are now only 2 weeks apart (as opposed to the previous "normal" of once a month). My next appointment is scheduled for Monday, June 9th.

26 weeks complete, 14 more to go!!

Today's appointment went well - I arrived for my 9am appointment to drink the glucola concoction (which tasted like orange soda) and then waited to see doctor Bantz for my monthly routine appointment. According to the doctor, Carter is "right on target" and I am in "great health." His heart rate continues to be around 140 and my tummy now measures 26 inches (an inch for every week I was told!). In regards to the Gestational Diabetes results, the doctor's office will contact me Monday, May 5th IF there are any concerns (no news is good news!). My next appointment is scheduled for May 29th.
