Today I went to the doctor and was pleasantly surprised by the entire experience! I was actually seen by my doctor (I was told I wouldn't be seen by my doctor until later on). Getting onto the scale I was feeling a little weary since my clothes are almost too tight to wear and I've been feeling better so I'm eating a little more. But, I had actually lost a couple pounds from my last appointment - WOOHOO! I know you're probably thinking, "What is wrong with her, she's pregnant," but the longer I can postpone blowing up like the whale I'm sure I'll turn into, the better. Just ask Paul. It was even better to hear my doctor tell me that because I'm long, I may not start looking pregnant for another month or two!! Of course now that I'm telling everyone this, I'll probably blow up and look very pregnant overnight.
The checkup went great - everything is testing normal, great blood pressure, no weight gain and I got to see our little piglet again! Apparently I wasn't due for another ultrasound but because we couldn't hear the baby's heartbeat with the doppler so my doctor said, "This is actually okay because now you get another ultrasound!" I could not believe how much little piglet had grown! Don't worry, if it's a girl, I will stop using the term little piglet so she doesn't get any premature self esteem issues. Even more exciting was that the baby starting moving around and actually stretched its legs out twice and then lifted its fist (to me it was like LP was waving, "Hi Mommy"). The picture of the ultrasound is blurry but you can see the fist near the head - looks like we might have a thumb sucker!
