Keep those doctors happy.....

I do use the blog as a journal of sorts for this whole pregnancy thing, so here we go....Yesterday afternoon I had a doctors appointment at 21 weeks 4 days pregnant and everything looked good. My blood pressure was good at 110/80, her heartrate was strong at 153 bpm, and she measured right on target. I'm not going to lie though - the doctor wanted to know why I lost 2 lbs in a 3 week period and reinforced that I should be eating plenty. I promised her that I am not depriving myself of food and maybe it was the change in scale - but seriously, did you guys see me eat over Christmas?!? Anyways, when all was said and done I have gained a total of 6 lbs and promised the doctor I would start weighing myself at home to ensure my weight is increasing.

I asked if there was anything to be aware of for our trip to Puerto Rico and was reminded that I can't go in the hot tub...bummer! Guess I already knew that, but it stinks to hear it. I was also reminded to wear sunscreen, stay hydrated, and carry a copy of my medical records with me just in case.

Mom & Dad flew to Puerto Rico yesterday, Kristin starts her trip tomorrow night, and we take off Saturday morning. Here's hoping the weather doesn't delay our flights and the weather is good while we are there!! :-)

And I leave you with a request for some pictures of the little peanuts - Lauren and Charlotte.
