24 Week Appointment

Today was our 24 week appointment at the doctor. It is so hard to believe that I am already six months along, and all has gone so well with the baby and me. I had to have an ultrasound first, at the last one Sophie would not cooperate well with the tech and show her heart. Today was no problem, though, we saw it beating as well hearing it. We also got to see her four chambers that were developed-- absolutely amazing!!! The tech also got a good picture of her foot that looks pretty big which is not a shock considering her dad has abnormally large feet--LOL!!! She also had her hands up over her face, so we couldnt get a look there. I asked her if she could tell me the weight, but they were not taking measurements for that today. At our last appointment, the tech told us she weighed 14 ounces, so I really wonder now how big she is since it has been four weeks since the last time we were there. I will try to post some of the shots she took later. I am already looking forward to the 4-D ultrasound we will have done in December.

Marty was able to feel her kick for the first time last night. I have been feeling kicks for some time (17 weeks) but they were not strong enough for Marty to feel. Since she has gained some weight, I guess she has a little more uummph behind them. It really feels like a little pulse when she does kick, and they are getting closer together. I am dreading when she really kicks me hard with those big feet-- ha!!

I will keep you updated as the next appointment is three weeks away. I will also be posting some pictures soon too, at least I hope!!
