I am happy to report there was no weight gain at this appointment! I've already packed on 8 pounds and am sure it's more than that even (since I had my first weigh-in 11 weeks into this pregnancy).
The doctor said the baby will be viable in 4 short weeks. She also mentioned that her rule is no traveling after 24 weeks...um...I just happened to mention that Jonathan planned and has already paid for a trip to Cancun smack in the middle of week 24. She did say that, should the worst occur, Cancun does have a good hospital. She's actually had a patient deliver there before!
After a LOT of mushing around and searching with the fetal doppler, we found the baby's heartbeat. It did nothing for my nerves. Afterward, my tummy was in soooo much pain. Apparently the baby didn't appreciate being manhandled so much. Me either. Glad I don't have another checkup for a month - but that one is the blood glucose test (fasting does not exactly agree with my current snacking schedule).
Love you Baby Girl. Hope you are nice and comfy in my belly.
