24 Weeks and Doctor Update!

I cannot believe that I am almost 25 weeks pregnant. We are a little more than 100 days till my due date!! Unreal!  I am a little late writing this post so I am 24 weeks and 6 days pregnant! This pregnancy is flying by! I had a doctors appointment today and they went ahead and set every single doctors appointment that I will have from here on out! WOW!

I had another ultrasound today.  Due to her position during the last ultrasound we were unable to see her heart and her profile so I had to come back in today to finish up the anatomy scan! I am not complaining though! I was so excited to be able to see her again.  We were able to get all the pictures of her heart right away.  Her heart rate today was 143 bpm.  We also needed to get a picture of her profile.  During the ultrasound she hid her face the entire time.  She had her little hands covering her face the whole time.  The tech even put it in 4D so I could see her little hands over her face.  I ended up having to leave to go to the lab to have my blood drawn for my gestational diabetes screening and had to go back to finish the ultrasound.  She was being very stubborn.  Thankfully when I returned to ultrasound we were able to get her profile right away.  The tech also told me that she was head down for the time being. Brayden was never head down until right before he was delivered.  She also weighs 1 pound 9 ounces which puts her in the 50 percentile.


Here is my sweet baby girl!

 Her sweet profile. I think she looks alot like her big brother did! :)

 And confirmation that She is still a little girl!!

The doctor said that everything looked wonderful!  She measured me and I was measuring right on target.  I had to wait for a while to see my doctor because she was running behind.  While I waited she was able to get some of my results of my blood work.  She was able to tell me that my iron was really low so I have to take iron supplements again with this pregnancy.  My iron was low during my pregnancy with Brayden so I figured it would be the same with this pregnancy as well.
