- I've only gained 5 pounds my entire 4 and a half months of being pregnant.
- His heartbeat yesterday was 155 bpm -- and he was kicking throughout that, although I couldn't feel it right then due to my position, but I had been feeling some movement earlier when my pants were cutting into my abdomen somewhat.
- We go back in two weeks for the "big" ultrasound where they'll take his measurements and make sure everything is where it's supposed to be and functioning properly.
- Two weeks after that, I'll have another visit with my doctor.
That's about it. I haven't had as much of an increase in my appetite as I thought I would, although I still start thinking about what I'm having for lunch at about 9:30 each morning! I guess this will increase as the baby actually starts getting bigger. I guess the same will go for my weight, although I'm anticipating staying under my doc's 25 lb pregnancy weight gain. Hopefully this doesn't mean I'm in for a big weight gain in a short period of time. However, just as a precaution, I'm going to try and do a better job about applying lotion and such every day -- especially in the belly region! I want to avoid those pesky stretch marks as much as possible.
I'm still able to wear a good bit of my regular clothes, but every day it's becoming more of a challenge to wear something comfortable, yet work-appropriate. My friend Alicia is coming to BR this weekend and we're going to go look at baby stuff and maternity clothes, and maybe get a couple of wardrobe staples -- black pants, cute "work-appropriate" tops, maybe a skirt with an elastic waistband, etc...Already this week I've had to buy two pairs of flats b/c my girls at work were fussing at me about my high heels. They said my legs will thank me later on. So being that the only flats I own were of the flip-flop variety, I had to get shoes that would work for work.
That's about it. We're about to eat some steaks that Scotty is taking off the grill...yummy!
when do you go back for the 3 hour test?
