Went to the doctor today and everything is looking fantastic. The baby's heart rate was 152. My blood pressure was 90/62. I've gained a nice amount of weight this pregnancy so far, but for some reason only gained one pound in the last three weeks - which is a bit off but I was told not to worry about it, just make sure I'm eating three meals a day which I am!. And I'm measuring right on the mark of where I'm supposed to be belly size wise. I'm in much better physical condition now than my last pregnancy. With approximately just five weeks to go, I'm still 20 pounds off from where I was when I delivered my first child. I can't imagine gaining 20 pounds in the next month. I suppose it could happen - but I doubt it. So I bought a Caramello Chocolate Bar to enjoy - King Sized - and I don't plan on sharing it.
Low Point:
Having this incubated baby of mine think my womb is bigger than it really is. She loves to stretch. So much so that the nurse thought at first the baby was breech because my tummy was hard as a rock. But then with more feeling she felt the head of the baby right where it was supposed to be - head down. What she had originally thought was the skull, was just baby rump with legs pushing and stretching. It's amazing how different this baby acts in the womb from how my first munchkin did - albeit they are both busy bodies!
