The 24 week scan and Pregnancy Highlights

The 24 week scan went very well. Managed to pass some baby cake to my doctor! For the doubting Thomas' out there, I asked my doctor to check again to make sure he did not make a mistake with the gender. So he scanned over to her back end and showed me her very tiny little butt and the "white lines" that indicate girl (as opposed to a boy that would show what looks like swelling between the legs). I admit, that I was beginning to second guess the doctor's assessment after hearing all the stories that people are so willing to share regarding someone they know having a boy when they thought it was a girl. Now, I have complete confidence in my doctor and I saw with my own eyes that she is all girl!

24 Weeks - Head on right (can clearly see eyes, nose and mouth)

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 24 weeks

Maternity Clothes: Finally got a pair of maternity jeans, that are a bit big for now and some new dresses that I love! Most of my tops ride up over my belly button, so they are in the storage bin for now :)
Gender: 100% GIRL
Name: We've selected the first name but can't seem to find the right middle name just yet.
Movement: She is an active little one… her punches are soft, but her kicks are strong! She settles down when I play the music from the baby snow globe Grandma and Grandpa Low gave her!
Heartbeat: 136 beats per minute!
What I miss: Bak Kut The, peanut butter and soft serve ice cream

Best Moment this week: The doctor appointments are always my favorite!
Funny Moment this week: My baby brain gets annoying at times, I tried turning on the air con with my phone!
