24 Week Check Up

Today I had my 24 week check up and had to do my blood sugar test to check for gestational diabetes.  After drinking the glucola an hour before my appointment they pricked my finger and checked my blood.  I passed the test with a 125, the nurse said anything under 129 was good.  My iron was also good at 11.5.  My blood pressure was good at 124/75.  All of my measurements have checked out so far even my weight, I have only gain 13 pounds since I was five weeks along.  The doctor said that was good and not too much at this point.  The doctor also measured my belly for the first time and it was 24cm big, which is right where I am supposed to be.  The nurse also did the doppler to here Cameron's heartbeat and it was at 147bpm and the nurse said she could feel him push back against the wand.  Everything checked out great and I have my last four week check up on May 17th, then I go every 2 weeks.  I can't believe how fast it has gone already, but I am excited for Cameron to be here.  I also reschedule our birthing class today, because the other time didn't work for us and all they have available for Saturday times is July 9th.  I am hoping someone cancels an earlier time, because I will probably be very uncomfortable when it comes to anytime in July, but we will see.  I will keep you all updated on any other exciting updates on the nursery or anything else in the Townsend household.
