I had my 32 week doctor’s appt this morning and have this to report back:

Urine: Normal: no protein, no sugar (yea!)
Weight: lost 1 lb since last appt (back to 6 lbs total gain)
Blood Pressure: Nice and low
Baby’s Heartbeat: Normal, in the 180s
Measuring: right where I am suppose to be

I was worried once I got on the scale and realized I lost a pound, but my doctor says that at this point it is fine. She thinks it is because of the new diet and added exercise, not that there is something wrong. We are going to watch my weight and make sure I don’t lose too much or she will recommend I bump up my caloric intake a little more.

I showed her my blood test results and she was very impressed. I have a few that are a little high, but I can usually contribute that to something I ate (Damn you Beaterville strawberry jam, you are going to do me in!) or less exercise on a certain day. Overall, she gave me a pat on the back and said she understands how hard it is and said I am making the transition wonderfully.

I have a regular appt set for two weeks from now and she thinks that will be sufficient. But we did schedule an ultrasound appointment for about three weeks away just to check on baby Ana’s growth. We want to make sure she isn’t getting too big in there, even if Mama isn’t here on the outside.
