Check Up

I had a doctor's appointment today, just my regular 4 week checkup. It went fine, as they usually do. The doctor listened to the heartbeat for about 5 seconds, then Elena kicked the monitor! Seriously, though, everything is fine with the baby, the doctor seemed pleased, and I apparently have only gained 11 pounds since the beginning. Of course, I lost weight first, so I've really gained 15, but that's still not so bad. It's hard to believe that just 11 pounds has caused me to outgrow ALL of my clothes! :) I have to go back in 3 weeks, then I'm on a "every-two-weeks" schedule of appointments. It's hard to believe that I'm already to that point! I got the gestational diabetes flat-Sprite drink today fto drink before my next appointment, and information on signing up for birthing classes. It's getting very real, as if the baby rolling around in my stomach wasn't real enough! But I guess we're really having a baby now! :)
