Today was our 24th week visit to the obygn and it was a quick, but informative visit.

  • My uterus is measuring 24cm and I’m 24 weeks – “perfect” said the doc
  • His heartbeat was strong at 154 bpm
  • My blood pressure is really good
  • um…..I gained 9.5 lbs in one month

Which brings me to 133.5 lbs at the 6month mark of this pregnancy. That was my pre-pregnancy/pre-workout weight back in September. I think that’s kinda funny actually. To pretty much come full circle on my weight.

The Dr. told me we need to “keep a watch on that weight gain” because no doubt that at that average I’d be up to 160-170 when my due date comes around and yea, that’s not happening. I completely blame this on my work schedule which resulted in me getting home every night at 9:30pm, eating a hefty dinner and then going straight to bed. No exercise, no walking..nothing to burn off anything that I ate. No bueno! Now that I”m getting off at 5pm, I shouldn’t have a problem maintaining a good average…and eating more salads!

We also went to register at BabiesRus today.

Someone please tell me how people managed to raise a child before this store existed. My god. The amount of stuff in there is UNREAL. The prices are just insane and by the time I left my feet were swollen and throbbing. Thank God for baby showers because we’re be in the poor house if we had to get all this ourselves. Whew!
