6 Month Appt.

So, I just got back from the doctor's office and all good news again. Everything checked out okay on my latest bloodwork, so I'm not anemic and didn't get gestational diabetes. Two weeks ago I had to go drink a sugary fruit juice thing and sit there for an hour and then they drew my blood to check these things. If I would've gotten gestational diabetes, I'd have to go to a 3 hour long test where they take my blood every hour...yuck! Also, I made up for my "oops month" this time, I only gained 1 lb. I asked the doctor if I should be concerned and she said that everything looks fine. I know Dave is worried that I'm being too active with walking every night, but seems like things are okay. That makes a total of 20 lbs. so far!! The nurse measured my belly and got a measurement of 2 cm too short at first, which concerned me. Then, she tried again and got 29, so right on target! The baby's heartbeat was 157bpm, Baby was being a squirmer again and moving around, that cracks me up!!

I go to the doctor again in 3 weeks and then I start my visits every 2 weeks and then down to every week for the last month. I can't believe we're really only about 2 1/2 months out!! That's all for now!
