Week 17 Checkup

I had a checkup today with Dr. Graham (my regular OB). My blood pressure was great, I've gained 5 pounds, and my belly is measuring at almost 18 weeks. He said I was "growing well," which I already knew since I can no longer button my pants!

All of the blood work they did last time came back normal--the most significant was the cystic fibrosis test, which was negative.

As for Wiggles, there was still a lot of movement--the nurse found the heartbeat and then lost it 4 or 5 times, and she said that was because there was still a lot of room to move around. The heartbeat varied between 130 and 160, which they said was normal. Only one more day until we know if we have a little boy or girl...we can hardly wait!
