24 Weeks and Doc Appt

So, I am in the sixth month of pregnancy! The baby weighs a pound and a half and from here on out, should gain one ounce a day. His face is almost fully formed with hair, eyelashes and eyebrows. Here is what he looks like:

I had a doctor's appointment this past week. I am having a perfectly normal pregnancy and very thankful for it. I did talk to my doctor about one strange symptom I have had recently - tingling wrists and hands. Apparently, this is carpal tunnel syndrome which is very normal in pregnancy. There's not much I can do for it, and it should go away after delivery, so that's good. Other than that, it was a pretty quick check up. Preston had a great heart rate and was kicking like crazy during the appointment. He doesn't like to be messed with.

Another interesting development has been my belly button, which is now officially an outie. Gross! Also, I have got a lovely little dark line going down my belly. Double gross! I am assured that these will go away, but for now they are really creeping me out.

Here is what I look like:
