Good Heartbeat!

Today was another prenatal appointment, my last with my Quincy dr. I am now in the process of transitioning my care to a dr in Hannibal, so that I will be able to deliver at the Hannibal hospital. It was hard to tell the doctor and nurse who were there for me through my miscarriage and have been very kind and supportive of me so far through my pregnancy that I am switching doctors. I felt like such a traitor, but my doctor said the right thing , "You have to make decisions that are best for you." Allen and I have discussed it and we really think this is the best thing.

Anyways, our little baby girl has a good strong heartbeat. Doctor said her bpm is exactly where she should be. Took a minute to get a count because she was moving around my belly. My numbers were all good too. I weighed in at only 3 pounds more than my visit last month, which makes my total weight gain in 4 1/2 months, only 3 pounds! For anyone who doesn't know, when you are overweight to begin with, as I was , during your pregnancy you are not expected to gain the normal 25-35 pounds. My blood pressure was good and I passed the urine test for sugar and protein.

We are slowly starting to accumulate baby things...we better get this computer room transformed into a baby room so we can make sure everything has it's place before Sylvia makes her big appearance! :)
