I went for a check-up this morning. Everything seems to be going well. The baby-doctor (OB) said my weight is good, my belly size is right on target and the baby's heartbeat is strong and happy. I'm thankful. I have to go in for a glucose tolerance test sometime before my next appointment. I've heard some pretty discouraging things about that test so we'll see how it goes for me.
I have one more monthly check-up before I switch to appointments every two weeks. When the doctor told me that, I thought, "Just like that?! This pregnancy is whipping by!" T, on the other hand, thinks that waiting 9 months is going way too slowly.
Baby has gotten two gifts so far: a Vancouver Canucks bib, from friends of ours who are also expecting; and a pair of cute blue shoes, from one very excited grandma-to-be. This weekend, we'll be starting to collect other baby goods of a more essential nature. It's times like these that we are especially grateful for the network of friends and family we have around us who are so generous and helpful.
In other news, I think my second-trimester burst of energy is slowly coming to an end. I'm finding myself more tired in the last couple days. And my calf muscles are periodically threatening to cramp up on me (apparently this was something my mom had to deal with too). Although, I've taken my nutritionist mother's advice and upped my calcium intake and that has helped alleviate some of the cramping.
Anyway, just thought I'd do a little update while I had some time. Thanks for reading!
