Well, I've got some good news and some bad news.
The bad news first. When the nurse weighed me this morning, she first thought I had lost weight. I knew that wasn't true, so I told her to check again. Well, let me just say her reaction has made me rethink some of my eating habits. There will be no more baking of cakes, late evening snacking, and very limited afternoon trips to the vending machine at work. Apparently in the last month I have gained 7 pounds. She never really said, but I think I have read that I should be gaining about a pound a week - so it should have been more in the neighborhood of 4 pounds. Needless to say I was almost double that! Looks like I'm going to have to ask Jeremy to help me watch my snacking this month and see if that helps.
Now the good news. We got to hear the heartbeat again and as the doctor said, "it is a very healthy 150+ range." I love hearing the heartbeat and we've talked about buying one of those fetal heart monitors just so we can do it at home.
I also have a referral for the next ultrasound. This will be the ultrasound that can tell us if we're having a boy or girl. All along Jeremy has wanted to find this out early, and I am really leaning towards finding out now (sorry Mom and Nathan.) I really want to start buying some cute clothes and blankies and stuff.
I haven't schedule that appointment yet, but it will probably be during the last week of the month. I'll keep you posted!
