Dr. Appointment today

Well, I've gained some weight - just 4lbs but that's in 3 weeks. I asked my doctor if that's something I should be concerned with and he said no, especially considering I lost 21lbs in the first 4 months. Apparently now I should be gaining between 0.5lb and 1lb per week. We'll see how that goes :)

The ultrasound results were great - nothing wrong with the baby. YAY! Everything is on track and actually 2 days ahead of where I think I'm supposed to be. I'm not changing my due date again - after all, that's just an 'estimate' anyway. Lil' Bean is going to enter this world when he/she feels like it.

Then he tried to find the heartbeat. OY! It felt like an eternity because Lil' Bean would not cooperate. He could hear the baby moving around in there - just couldn't get the heartbeat. He found mine quite easily although it could be mistaken for a fetal heartbeat because it was racing at the time. He wouldn't give up though and soon after, he found it...160bpm. That's really fast - must be because the baby was moving around.

Speaking of moving around - this little one has been going crazy lately. Last night as I was trying to get to sleep, Lil' Bean wouldn't stop moving if I was on my left side. If I moved to my right side, he/she would stop. I'd move back to my left side - and the kid would go crazy! Today at work I noticed a lot more movement as well. Hopefully soon Ron will be able to feel the little one moving around :)

I don't have to go back for another 4 weeks since everything is on track so that's nice to hear. Not that I minded going every 2-3 weeks because I like hearing the heartbeat but 4 weeks will FLY by I'm sure!

That's all for now...time to go rest so I can feel the Lil' Bean moving around again
