Doctor Update

ah, yes. i'm back from the OB. turns out i didn't have too much to worry about weight wise... i only gained around 2-2.5 pounds (i don't remember the exact amount from the last visit). and no one (nurse or doctor) said anything about my weight so it can't that bad. as a matter of fact, the doctor came in and looked at my chart and said "everything looks perfect here on paper so lets take a listen and see how the baby's doing." so, i'm perfect- on paper ;) she also mentioned that my uterus had started to pop out- well, DUH! i only have 3 pairs of pants that fit and my stomach is ROUND not flabby like from fat. it is pretty obvious that i've started to pop!

fun stuff now:
the doctor found the heartbeat and said it sounded really good. then there were a couple of strange sounds. bean looks up and says (no joke) "the baby tooted!" and she started cracking up. the doctor about lost it! through her giggles she tried to explain to bean that that sound was the baby kicking and swimming inside mommy. she seemed confused as to why the baby would kick mommy but since the doctor said it was good to have the baby moving around she didn't argue.
bean was the star of the show. she had everyone there laughing and smiling. she really liked all the attention too. not necessarily a good thing seeing as in a few months she is going to have to share the stage with a sibling.... i'll worry about that later.

i was told to get more rest and to take breaks from bean. the doctor claims this will make me feel better. how i'm supposed to accomplish that remains to be seen. i don't have a lot of family close by and i certainly can't afford a sitter. oh well. we shall see how it goes.
