Appointment today

So, I had a routine appointment today. Blood pressure was 100/64, so pretty normal. The doctor checked for a heartbeat, but couldn't find it. I wasn't worried at all, oddly enough. Normally that would have me freaked out, but the thought that something could be wrong couldn't have been further from my mind. I was just excited that I got an ultrasound to find a heartbeat. lol Sure enough, there was the baby, and there was his/her heart just beating away! Unfortunately, the ultrasound at the doctor's office isn't a very good one. He just uses it to find a heartbeat and to see if the baby is head down at the end of the pregnancy if he thinks the baby is breach. So, all he could tell me was, "Yep, there's the baby. Yep, there's the heart beating! Baby is laying sideways and facing towards my back, so we couldn't get any good pictures. We got one that has a faint outline of the baby and a dark spot where the heart was beating. I don't have my scanner hooked up, so you don't get to see it though. There really isn't much to see anyways. lol

In three weeks I go for my ultrasound and in four weeks I have another doctor's appointment :)

Oh, and I gained seven pounds in the past four weeks. ICK!
