I had my Dr. appointment this week. We started the appointment discussing my "growth spurt". Ok so I've gained a few pounds and I think most of it was this last week. Lets just say I had more than a couple s'mores last weekend. I couldn't disappoint the kids. They kept wanting to roast marshmallows and no one else wanted any. So I took one for the team. Last night didn't help either. I had a couple of helpings of macaroni salad. Yikes, 18 more weeks!
So after discussing my weight gain the doctor measured my stomach. Apparently the baby had a growth spurt too! The belly measurement is supposed to match(or close to) how many weeks you are. Well, I am 22 weeks and my belly is measuring 28!!! I think the doctor saw the look on my face and reassured me that doesn't mean I'm going to have a big baby. I told him that I'm holding him to that. That explains why I can't breath these days.
Ok now for the good news...there's a heart beat! 140 beats per minute. My blood pressure is down!
The appointment went well despite our "growth spurt." I know I have no control over the weight gain but seriously who wants to see the scale hit numbers I've never seen before. I know, better get used to it! The next doctors appointment is the glucose test.
Apparently I wasn't too upset about my weight gain because after my appointment I went straight to Dairy Queen. Unfortunately(or maybe fortunately) Dairy Queen isn't open at 10 o'clock in the morning!
