23 Weeks!

Woohoo I'm more than half-way through my pregnancy! Such a good feeling! I had a check-up appt. with my doctor on Wednesday morning. The last couple of appts. have consisted of blood pressure and weight check followed by listening to baby William's heart beat. I've gained 14 pounds since the beginning of my pregnancy and 4  of those pounds lbs. between Thanksgiving and Christmas :) Dr. Gleason said I'm right on track with weight gain. William's heart rate was 140 and he was kicking up a storm while we listened to his heart pound away. He is one active little boy! Every night I sit in our beautiful blue recliner and watch him kick. Here is a belly pic from 23 weeks 3 days:

At my next appt. I will do the glucose test. This consists of me drinking a bottle of sugar water (I've heard the stuff tastes really bad) followed by some lab work to see if I have gestational diabetes. Let's hope I don't because it would be bad news if I had to cut back on carbs and sweets!
