It was nice to go into the office for my appointment. It feels like I am making progress with the long road that is pregnancy. Another appointment means another month has passed. No sonogram because the baby should be big enough to hear the heart beat with the dopplar device. The doctor kept moving it around and around and I was getting the flutterings of panic. When I said, "I'm getting a little worried here, doc", she replied that there was no issue other than the fact that the baby was playing hiding seek. Everytime she would catch baby with the dopplar, he/she would move and hide before she could get a reading. Finally we caught up to baby and the heart beat is a healthy 150 beats/min. Not too often do you hear your doctor say that you need to gain weight but because I weighed in still 5 pounds below where I started, she wants me to start gaining weight. Healthy weight of course and only a little at a time. I look at my picture from this week and can't believe that I am lighter than the start of my pregnancy. I feel like I am so big for only 4 months. I look back at pictures of my pregnancy with Trystan and I feel like I look as big now as I did with him around the 6-month mark. Oh well, as long as baby is healthy and I am too, the rest doesn't matter much. I am hoping to go to a place and have a sonogram done in next few weeks to find out gender. My doctor doesn't want to do it until April 4th and that is just crazy. We'll see what hubby says and I'll keep you posted.
