19 week update!

Almost half way there!!!! I had a doctors appointment yesterday and all is well. Babies heart beat
is in the upper 140s. I have gotten to where I feel her kick everyday. Kenny is so anxious to feel her kick too.

My blood pressure has been a little high. At my last appointment it was 150 something over 94, this time is was I think 140 over 92. He doesn't seem too concerned, he just wants to monitor it for now.

My weight gain is about 8 pounds (although when I weigh at home more like 5, I was weighing a little heavier at the appointment). I can't understand how, because my belly is getting big! He said I am gaining slowly, but isn't concerned about that either. All women gain differently, and I'm just on the low side. He measured me and I measured at exactly 19weeks, so he's not worried. He said to make sure I'm not restricting my calories (he obviously doesn't know me very well, lol). I had gained wieght before pregnancy due to the holidays, and also the failed IVF, so I think it is just leveling out. I'd rather gain too little, than too much!

I started my baby registry yesterday, it was pretty fun, but also overwhelming! Daddy of course loves using the gun, and I made sure I let him make some of the decisions (even I thought it was silly). The crib should be here soon, I can't wait!
