24 weeks pregnant & 34 1/2 inches & approx 132 lbs
6 months down!!! woohoo! I dont know whether time is going by too fast or not fast enough! I'm measuring 34 1/2 inches but ate tons of food tonight and wouldn't doubt that extra 1/2 inch is coming from the food I ate. Went over to my friend's house and she made Pho, which is a delicious Vietnamese dish I've never attempted to make. She, however, did a wonderful job with the soup & also made spring rolls and cookies that I devoured. I'm really thinking Silas is enjoying the variety of food I'm eating which is consisting of lots of ethnic food & of course the cartons of milk I've been going through! Recently I read that I should be drinking 3- 8oz glasses of milk a day and a study was done showing that mom's that drank lots of milk had larger babies instead of premature babies. Maybe my body naturally knows this and that's why I've been craving milk, but I am no expert...and just purely enjoy the taste of milk in my cereal.
As far as baby goes, he seems to be doing ok...constantly moving & floating around in my amniotic fluid. My husband and I purchased a Graco doppler at Walmart for about $23 and tried that out yesterday. I'm thinking about returning it because I didn't hear a single thing except my own heartbeat and the gas/food in my stomach moving around. The stethescope isn't working either...so I guess I should be patient and wait until my next appointment which is next week. Although I've felt Silas moving around in there, I have yet to actually see my stomach moving. I cannot really explain the feeling when he moves. Sometimes he startles me and makes me say, "OH!" or "AH!" It doesn't feel like gas either, it just feels like a little person in there moving around...because it is! He is already entertaining me and I enjoy every second of it =)
