Doctor's Appointment

I had my 5th appointment with the doctor today. I am up another 6 lbs- I don't think I will tell you what that puts my weight at :0) Things look and sound good. After my July appointment I will start to see the doctor every two weeks, so slowly but surely we are getting there! I have to get some blood work done in 3 weeks, I can look into Lamaze classes around 27 weeks, and starting at 28 weeks I have to start counting the kicks the baby is making(not by my choice,the doctor gave me a paper I have to fill out). So I will be kept busy in the last trimester. Fine by me, I need to keep my mind off how hot it is here!

    Well, your getting closer all the time. Enjoy the little fellow while he's tucked away safe and sound. He'll be here before you know it will be a whole different ballgame. Fun in a whole different way! Don't fret the 6 lbs. It's a struggle whether pregnant or not. Just enjoy it all!

    I can't believe you're almost to your "two week" appointments! You're getting closer... counting kicks? I haven't heard that one either. Have fun! It will keep you busy!

    Ok, first off, how did you find my blog? Secondly, you look great with your pregnant belly. I gained over 40 lbs with the first one, so I'm sure I'll soon be catching up with all the burgers I'm eating. I love your yellow kitchen! And Miles is adorable. I'd be tempted to get a puppy, but then I remember I pretty much have one with my 16 month old. Enjoy the hot summer -- eat lots of popsicles!

    She's right about the kick counts. Once he gets bigger you will wish he wouldn't move so much (like when your trying to sleep). I'm sure you and your Dr. will be very close once you start those 2 week and then 1 week visits! Are you going to do the full-out Lamaze...all natural?

    Yeah, kick counting is over-rated in my opinion. As long as you feel him moving every now and then, you'll be fine. Once you start getting into the two week appointments, it's not "is he moving enough?", but "does he ever stop moving?"

    i love baby kicks - i am just not a huge fan of heel in ribs. it's cool though. i also love doctor appointments, they get me out of work for a while, they play relaxing music and there is someone there to confirm that you actually have a person inside of you - which is weird.

    I was reading a baby mag last night talking about obesity and women who are pregnant and I calculated my BMI and thankfully Im in the "normal weight" and girl, by the way you look (which is bea-u-tiful and grosely thin for being prego) you are "normal weight". lets see, I think I gained 25-30 lbs with Val, sick I know but it all came off and then some when I breast fed. :)
    As for the kicking, Im happy that I had a little girl who NEVER kicked me in the ribs, she was just an angel, then a week before due date she decided to do gymnastics (which felt like my whole stomach was doing a jig in the middle of the night), hilarious moment.
    Awesome that the coveted 2 weeks then 1 week visits are coming soon, that just means the arrivle day will be here like TOMORROW!!! so soon. love you
