Yesterdays prenatal appointment was pretty uneventful and routine. I was in and out within 15 minutes which is rare at my Dr.'s office.
Appointment was at 3:30pm, got there at 3:25pm to check in, went to the bathroom to obtain a specimen sample, and was called in immediately. They checked my weight and I've only gained 4 lbs! I was concerned but we'll go into it later. After that the medical assistant checked my sample - which was fine and took my blood pressure - fine as well. When my Dr. arrived a minute later, she measured my uterus, checked his/her heartbeat (found it quick this time! No ultrasound needed), we discussed my nipples - they're fine now, the AFP test I took last time - no problems or defects known, and then my weight which isn't a big concern to her. I was overweight pre-pregnancy and the baby is growing normally so no need to worry she says. Her theory is that I most likely lost some pre-pregnancy weight and gained weight with the baby which cancelled each other out. Makes sense cause I lost a few pounds during the first trimester. Doc says I might even weigh less post-pregnancy than pre-pregnancy. Hah! We'll see about that. Anyway, my appointment was done and I was in the parking lot ready to head home by 3:45pm.
This friday we find out the peanut's sex. I'm so anxious!

I'm curious to see what the sex of the baby is. I have an appt. today and it's weird cause I would think that I'd go in every week now but my next one is 2 weeks from now. I'll be tested for Strep B today. *so excited* hahaha j/k
