Last cervical check u/s!

So I'll start with a picture of the little (kinda big) dude in there.  Todays u/s went well.  Cervix was unchanged since 2.5 weeks ago and they decided that I didn't need to come anymore!  Yay!  So far this kid has had 12 u/s.  Enough is enough.

He weighed in at 3lbs 0oz and was wiggling all over.  He also flipped back to being head down (although there is still time for that to change).

I still can't believe that I am actually REALLY pregnant and that everything is seeming "normal".

Not that I was very concerned, but I took my GTT on Monday and got the results yesterday.  Blood glucose was 106 which was within the range they were looking for.  Good news, because I would not be a good diabetic.

Spotting...

Gross post....

Today when I went to the bathroom at work, there was a blob of mucus that was dark brown in my underwear. I wiped and there was a little more, but not a ton. Anyway, I called my OB and they wanted me to come in, but I couldn't leave work untl about 3 hous from then. About an hour later, I went to the bathroom again and there was another huge blob of mucus that was dark brown, but also with some bright red.

Anyway, I went to the OB office and HB was good, baby was moving around, cervix was closed, but she said she did see the discharge I was talking about. They took cultures and I should know the results by Friday.

So, this may possibly be normal or it may be an infection??? I have been on antibiotics 3 out of the past 5-6 weeks for UTI...maybe this has something to do with it????

Here's hoping it's nothing!

My craigslist dresser

I bought a dresser on Craigslist to put in baby B's room.  I plan on getting at least one new pull for the drawer (it's broken) and painting the metal black.  I also plan on sanding the dresser and painting it white to match the rest of the stuff in his room. 

So many ideas...so little time (and motivation).

Here is the original picture from craigslist....

24 weeks!

How far along: 24 weeks

How big is baby:    That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up.  (Weighed 1lb 6oz ...5 days ago)

Sleep:   Seeming a little less tired

Movement:  He's a wiggle worm!

Food cravings:  Nothing really specific...back to wanting frappucinos though

Food adversions: None

Gender: It's still a BOY!!

Symptoms: heartburn is acting up again....seems to start around 6 PM every night

What do I miss: Running/exercising

Best moment of the week:   Seeing baby "B" on u/s again.  Plus getting a really cute 3D pic of him.

What I'm looking forward to: the warmer weather!

Milestones: V-day!!!!!!!!!!!

Maternity clothes: Still wearing maternity pants or sweatpants. No maternity shirts yet.

Weight gain: +8 lbs (down 1 lb from last week)

23 week and 24 week comparable!
