6 Months!

As of last thursday, we are 24 weeks pregnant! Went to the doctor on Friday and everything was pretty much great! She measured my belly and said it was measuring on the smaller side, which was suprising to me! First of all, I am feeling huge! And second, every time they measure Logan with a sonogram they always say she is measuring big. Since we had an ultrasound the first week of August, they didn't want to wait another 4 weeks to measure her, so we go back in three. I'll also have my Gestational Diabetes test at that visit. No pictures from this visit.
With some extra prodding by our shower invitation designers, we finally registered on Saturday. So far, we just registered at Babies R Us. It seems like we can get everything we could possibly need there...and then some!

Fetal Echo

Most of you don't know that I was diagnosed with a single umbilical artery at our last appointment. Most umbilical cords have 2 arteries and 1 vein, but mine only has one of each. This can lead to some scary stuff- mostly having to do with Logan's development. I was referred to a neonatologist for an echocardiogram of Logan's heart.
We saw the neonatologist today and everything was looking phenomenal! Logan is growing at not only a normal pace, but growing really quickly! She weighed in at 1lb, 4 oz today and they could not find ANY developmental issues with any of her organs, especially her heart.
The sonogram they did was extremely thorough and took about 45 minutes. They confirmed, once again, that there are NO boy parts hiding anywhere and that they don't have doubts that we have a little girl coming our way!
We will get regular sonograms to monitor her growth but that is the only recommendation that we were given and I was released from the care of the neonatologist back to my regular OBGYN which is a great sign!
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!
