Doc appt

Just a quick entry about our 24 week doc appt (I'm really worn out, long day).  He was ok with me taking my bp meds again (bp is 124/86), was a little concerned about the weight gain (I have only gained 10 lbs total weight so far, but I gained it all in one month).  He's going to see what the results are from the glucose testing tomorrow.  I'm retaining alot of water from the BP, and of course the *other* problem I've been having (TMI).  Baby's heartrate sounded great (upper 130's/low 140's), and s/he is hanging out SO low...feel like little one could come on out right now!  I start going every two weeks now, and at my 28 week visit (4 weeks from now), we'll schedule another ultrasound (yay).  Surprisingly, I'm MORE anxious to know how big little one is and if everythings in working order then about the gender...that seems to just be a perk at this point.  I'll also start the NST's at my 28 week appt, and I would imagine we should start talking about when the csection itself will be (will hopefully find out or atleast ask to set it up at that appt so Alex can get that week off).  So, overall, everything seems to be good.  He did ask me, "Rebecca, have you felt the baby moving?", I said, "Dr. M, if I hadn't, I would have been on your doorstep at your house to tell you so."  :)~ 

Called Kim and she was in town so we went to lunch before the doc appt (Alex met me in town so he could get some sleep while I took Kait to speech), then I went out to her house after Alex went to work.  Her whole gang is going Saturday night (mom, sisters, all of them).  Should be a blast...

That's enough for now, feel like I'm going to pass out...
