Week 24

Just a quick FYI: Heartburn is a killer!!!!!!!

Other than that things are still going really well. I had a doctor's appointment this week to check for gestational diabetes and I passed it!! I am so thankful for that!

I feel her move all the time! She is definitely an active baby. I love to feel her move inside me. It's a constant reminder of the awesomeness of God and how great He is, to allow me to carry and raise this little girl.

This rocking chair was mine from when I was little, so I refinished and painted it so Olivia can enjoy it. Here is the before and after.

I thought this picture put things more into perspective as far as how big she is inside me.

Your baby is filling out this week. Part of your weight gain goes straight to helping him gain weight, too. Since he's still on the scrawny side, his skin wrinkles on his body, but he looks like a miniature version of what you'll see on delivery day. His face has formed, ears are in place, and eyes are complete (although his lids are still closed). He has eyelashes, fingernails, and may be growing hair, too. Rapid eye movements (REM) are beginning, too. This week your baby weighs around one and one-half pounds and measures almost eight and one-half inches (crown to rump). She is about the size of an ear of corn.
