Visiting the Doctor

We had two doctors appointments over the last few weeks. Our first one was with my regular OBGYN. Since my last visit I have gained four pounds putting me at a whopping 101 pounds which my doctor was quite pleased with seeing as I had lost weight at my previous visit! My blood pressure was good, 117 over something (I don't remember but they said it was good). He listened to the baby's heartbeat (baby was moving all around so it was hard to hear it) and said that it sounded really good. I go back in 4 weeks and will probably find out the sex at my 21 week appointment if not sooner! I am beginning to live my life in four week increments anxiously anticipating the next time I get see and hear our little one!

Our second appointment was with the doctor at the hospital again (see last post for details). Unfortunately, it was good but unsuccessful. There just wasn't enough room for the baby to lay flat with the way my placenta is shaped and positioned. So we will just have the one test during my second trimester to go on.

The baby was very active which was fun, and was sitting up when we first saw him! The heartbeat was 150 beats per minute which the doc said was normal. He is measuring at 13.5 weeks which is about a week earlier than where we are. This could mean our due date might be a week off or the baby may just be growing a little faster right now and will even out a little later. OR it could mean I could just have a big baby...which I am not to excited about! We got to see the little fingers and toes wiggling today which was fun! And he certainly is not shy of the camera because he kept turning to face us which was really cute.

SO.....mommy and baby are both doing well!

Here is a belly picture of me at 14 weeks...that bump is starting to grow!
