Went to see the Doc today. Everything was great! She told us that the ultrasound results were perfect and that the baby is growing properly. She measured my belly and it's right on track - 21cm. My blood pressure was excellent 128/68, but I gained 5lbs!! That puts me at 4lbs gained so far, because I had lost in the beginning. She said my weight gain so far is great, half way done the pregnancy and only 4lbs gained. 20-22 lbs gained throughout the pregnancy for me should be what I should gain. So we'll see what happens there! Baby's heartbeat was 144bpm. We asked Dr. Keating about the OBYN that would be delivering, because at the beginning she either told us or someone from the office told us that she does some prenatal then sends us to an OBGYN. Turns out, she does the delivering unless there are complications in the pregnancy. So as it stands, she will be delivering baby McKinley. Our due date is March 9th, not the 10th as we had thought.
Also, she indicated that when we go for our glucose testing (which she was making the referal for today) we would most likely be meeting with the famous 'Colleen' in the Matenrity Ward to do the other ultrasound and get updated with all the prenatal classes and stuff. So hopefully it won't be much longer now! We want to know before the baby shower on November 18th. So we'll see!
We bought a heart to heart monitor from Toys R Us on Saturday. It says that you can hear the heartbeat, depending on various factors, between 21-28 weeks. We hear kicks on it so far, and only my heartbeat. hopefully it won't be much longer before we hear the heart. The kicks are hilarious! Most I don't feel but it's so sensitive to sound that you hear the baby bumping around. Supposidly I can record it through the computer so I may try that this weekend and send something along.
Here is a pic of me from Friday night. I'm still managing to fit into some work pants, but I have to keep them below my belly. They fit snug around the tank when I stand up but to sit down, it's too tight!!! (Remember, I started out with bit of a belly to begin with!)
