had a little visit with the o.b. today. surprisingly weight wasn't nearly as bad as i thought but i have gained a fair bit so far.... like, oh 15 pounds. not terrible, i know, but when you start out over weight you really should gain a little less than the average. of course, they said nothing about it- they never do. (i do wonder how much of this weight gain is in my breasts though. they have gotten bigger still. the shirt i'm wearing today fit last month when i bought it, now it is pulled very tight across my chest and i'm completely filling this triple d bra!!!)
sprout was uncooperative again! this kid is a mover!! they asked me if i was feeling "good movement" from the baby. and i said "oh, you have no idea!" they laughed. they had trouble getting the heart rate because of all the rolling, kicking and squirming. doctor said "wow, i think you have a soccer player in there! listen to all those kicks! and darn it, this little one just doesn't sit still!" (i have felt nauseas the past few days because there is so much movement in my belly! i'm not joking!)
anyways, sprout's heart rate is in the 150's still. i'm measuring at 22 weeks, which is just about spot on for my due date. my blood pressure is nice and low, like normal. everything seems to be just dandy. :)
i was told, once again, that i need more time to myself. you know, that i would feel much better (not exhausted) if i could a) spend sometime just for me and b) take a nap. well.... duh! i still can't figure out how to accomplish this, especially with a 2 year old that will not nap. and i can only see this being more difficult as we move into the holiday season... sigh.
next appointment: dec. 18

Good to know everything is on track! I remember the ever expanding boobs...ahh what fun (that is sarcastic!). sounds like one energetic little one you've got there!
I feel for you with the constant movement. My daughter was still squirming during BIRTH!!!!! and they're meant to go quiet then!!!! But there you go, yesterday she won 3 first places for swimming and last week 4 first places in track and field. Oh I forgot to post about that. Perhaps your Sprout will be an athlete too!
