Week 24- Baby's now the size of a papaya!

Baby's skin is becoming more opaque as the fat starts to pack on. And, thanks to the formation of small capillaries, his newly thick skin is taking on a fresh pink glow.

As much as we love your company, take a break from the computer if your fingers feel numb or tingly. It's probably carpal tunnel syndrome, often brought on by pregnancy. Stretch your hands frequently to loosen them up. For significant symptoms, try wrist braces or splints at nighttime.

Well, this week we encountered the dreaded glucose test. And because of what i ate in the morning, I barely failed the test by only a couple of points. Though the dr knows it was most likely due to what I ate, they still have to make me complete the "3 hour" glucose test. That means, 4 hours spent at the hospital, fasting for at least 12 hours before, another nasty sugar thick drink, and 4 blood draws over the 4 hours. Not looking forward to that.

We are slowly moving forward on the baby front. The stroller is ordered and on its way, fabric is all purchased and washed, and we are starting the sewing bonanza at moms house this weekend to get the crib and window dressings started.

Next visit to see the doctor we schedule the c-section, so unless the little man decides to come before 39 weeks, we will have a scheduled birth day! From what we learned this last visit, he is actually a little ahead in the weight and length category, so there actually is a chance that if he keeps on this pace, he will come earlier. We shall see!
