24 week check up

on friday, january 9th, i went back to the ob/gyn for my 24 week check up. baby boy is doing well. heartbeat is good and i've gained a total of 11 pounds so far. i have to constantly remind myself that weight gain is good, normal, and necessary for a healthy baby. but is it ever hard to watch my face get rounder and rounder...you can't hide a fat face! on a more pleasant note, i go back on february 6th for my 28 week check up and glucola screening. shouldn't be too bad. they gave me the drink already, so i can drink it at home and just show up a little early to have my blood drawn. much better than with caleb when i had to wait in a doctor's office for an hour after i drank the stuff before i could have my bloodwork done. i do believe that we have officially picked a name for baby boy...asher. it's in the Bible in case you were wondering of its origins. however, we haven't settled on a middle name. we have 2 strong candidates and are basically waiting on me to make up my mind. tom loved asher as the first name, so i get creative license over the middle name :)
