We had another baby appointment on Thursday with Dr. Price. As Kalen mentioned it, it was for sure our shortest visit ever - which is fine with us :)
The baby is doing good; apparently I measure the right size (whatever that may mean :) ); his heartbeat is at 140 for now and should be decreasing in the coming weeks as he keeps growing bigger. We could hear him move while listening to his heartbeat, and it confirmed what I already thought: that baby is quite the active one!
My blood pressure is good; my weight is good - I am definitely weighing more than Kalen now!... though he keeps gaining some pounds too, apparently (I am so thankful for having a husband who agrees to gain some sympathy weight along with me :D).
Dr. Price gave us her direct number as well as her pager number, because she said we are getting closer and she wants us to be able to reach her if anything happens (I wanted to tell her: "Lady, thank you very much but that baby is not popping out anytime soon; I am NOT ready yet :P"... but I kept quiet, and just smiled and waved).
Oh! And the baby has actually reached 24 weeks today which makes him "viable" now; again, whatever that may mean. (All I know is that it's a good news, so I'm happy with that :)).
In the "other news" section, he started kicking last week and now can't stop doing it... He even discovered last night that he could kick mommy while she is trying to sleep - he and I may have to have a talk about this... :) He does also kick when I'm reading Winnie the Pooh to him; I guess he already has good taste in literature :)
Because we are getting closer (I guess we are three weeks away from the third trimester...!), our appointments will now be every three weeks.
Oh, and don't ask if we have picked a name... cause we have not :)
