24 week doctor appointment

We went in this morning for the 24 week OB visit. I really like the doctor we met with; this was our second time meeting with her and she's really laid back and funny--efficient without making us feel rushed. Because they are experiencing a shortage of midwives in the practice right now (one left and one is on maternity leave) we have been getting appointments with the docs as well as the one midwife who is in the office right now. All of the providers have been really great, which is wonderful since any one of them could be on call when I go into labor.

Everything with the baby and I checked out great--I gained 5 pounds in the last 4 weeks, which the doc was happy to see, and the little guy's heartbeat was thumping away at 128 bpm. This is the slowest his heartrate has been to date, but I think he's having a lazy day recovering from all of the dancing and acrobatics he was performing last night! I think we may have a night owl on our hands...
