If you remember, my last appointment four weeks ago, I was not too happy with the 8lb weight gain that seemed to come out of no where. I was dreading, I mean absolutely scared to death, to get on the scale again today. I felt like the last big weight gain came out of no where so I had NO idea what the scale would say this time. Drum roll please! Buh duh duh duh duh... Down two pounds! HALLELUJAH!!! I cannot put into words how relieved I was. My midwife asked what I did differently... and honestly, not much. I did cut back on cheese and of course I've been walking 3-5 times a week. {Oh and I did eat two absolutely delicious chocolate mint cupcakes on St. Patrick's day... I wonder if that contributed to my 2 lbs drop???} My new total weight gain is now 11 lbs. I am really, really pleased with that. And everything else looks perfect. My midwife said she could not come up with a single thing to complain about me or anything I was doing. My belly measurement is right on track and the heart beat was once again great. Although this baby is showing that it does not like to be bothered as. We'll see how that translates into newborn-hood. I also asked what position she thought the baby was in. My guess was head down because the hiccups are always down low and the big kicks are always high. That was my midwife's guess as well after she felt around a bit. The baby hasn't settled down into the pelvis yet, which is fine, but she was glad that it was in the head down position. Praise God!
Now... I need to get back to work. There's still a lot to do today!
