24 Weeks

I am 24 weeks pregnant today!!  We went for my 24 week appointment this morning.  I had to do my glucose test to check for diabetes, which I was not looking forward to.  I had to drink 10 ounces of this really sweet orange drink, which actually tasted like Kool-Aid with lots of sugar.  It really wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be.  I had to have blood work done to check my glucose level and to also check my iron level.  I should know the results by tomorrow sometime.  Fingers crossed that both levels are within normal limits.  I have gained a total of 15 pounds now.  Logan's heartbeat today was in the 150s and sounded great!  We are still both amazed at the sound of his little heartbeat each time we go to the doctor's office.  According to the website that I am following, Logan is almost a foot long, or about the size of an ear of corn.  He will soon start to fill out and plump up.  His brain and taste buds are growing and developing rapidly now.  His lungs are also developing and preparing for the outside world.

Richard and I picked out Logan's bedding this past week!! We can't wait to get some furniture and start getting the nursery together!!  Here is a picture of his bedding and my belly picture for the week.
