Just an update on our growing pumpkin!

I had another appointment yesterday. She continues to grow and get more active. I am measuring at 24.5 weeks, so I am right on schedule. When the doctor was trying to listen to her heart beat with the doppler, she only let us listen for a few seconds before she kicked the probe. Her heart is beating at 140 beats per minute. The doctor said that from my ultrasound at 20 weeks, the placenta is sitting low, its not placenta previa (where the placenta is over the cervical opening), but she wants to do another ultrasound at 32 weeks to make sure. I will have another appointment in 4 weeks and do my glucose testing. I will then start to see the doctor every two weeks.

In the last few weeks, she has become very active. She likes to kick and do summersaults. She has also had the hiccups a few times. Andy has been able to feel her kicking on a daily basis now. The first time he felt her kick was about 2-3 weeks ago. It is pretty amazing being able to feel her moving around inside.
