My doctor is happy with my lack of weight gain (so far). She told me between 15 and 20 pounds is where I should be. I didn't like that they measured my BMI to be larger than it really is...for some reason their scale weighs me 10 pounds heavier than ANY other scale. Like, Eric and I have to go get checked out at a health fair every year for insurance and their scale NEVER reads me as heavy as the Dr. office. Our home scale doesn't either. So I didn't like that.
My blood pressure was 120/80, which she didn't like. She preferred it be 120/70 and I don't think it will ever happen. My blood pressure has ran at 120/80 since I was a little kid...but I'm taking it twice a day and keeping a journal to keep her happy.
I got to hear the baby's heartbeat today, just barely. It was MUCH clearer with the internal ultrasound, but I could still make it out. The doctor said the baby was running away from her which is part of the reason that I had a hard time hearing it.
I go back on March 4th for another check up and we get the 20 week ultrasound to find out gender on March 18th! I'm so excited ;) I think that it's a girl (and no, I don't WANT a girl necessarily I just think it is...) but Eric really wants a boy. I am truly on the fence. Several family members want a girl, but I really don't care... I just want health.
