Just got back from the OB. Had a great visit, only managed to gain 2lbs this month totaling a whopping 9lbs gained so far (and the baby is only about 1.5lbs?!). MD says it great and really I should only need to gain around 20lbs. We'll see about that, I am in that time from now until the wonderful task of labor, to have that potential to blow up! Looking forward to that.
So baby's heartbeat is 152 and I'm measuring right on target at 24cm. Couldn't ask for anything better. Little monkey did show the doctor how he likes to contort my belly and make it look lop-sided, which is funny to watch. I like to put things like the remote or phone on my belly and watch him kick it off. He packs quite the punch these days! My poor uterus!
Next visit at 28 weeks is my oh so wonderful glucose test and antibody test so I can get my Rhogam shot (I'm Rh neg). Then after that, it's every 2 weeks to the doctor as I soar into my third trimester. I can't believe it's getting so close!
So I'm off to visit my family back home in Dunkirk, NY on Thursday for about a week. It will be nice to see all my family before my munchkin pops out! And, of course, all the yummy food baby and I will devour!

Hi, Beth and Jason—so happy everything is going so well with your pregnancy. I've enjoyed keeping up with it!
ReplyDeleteTake care,

P.S. The glucose test isn't as terrible as everyone says. Mine just tasted like a flat orange Crush with twice the sugar. :)
