We had an appointment yesterday and everything looks good. Leif's heart rate was around 145 bpm. Nice and strong.
I, on the other hand received, a disapproving look from the OB for my weight. I have gained 11 pounds since they started to weigh me, but only 3 pounds in the last month. That's eleven pounds in the last 5 months. They told me I should gain 25-30 pounds over the course of my pregnancy, so that leaves me with up to 19 pounds for the next 4 months or so. So what the hell was she scowling about and lecturing me about .5-1 lbs of gain a week only and to make sure I am eating healthy. Grrrrrr. Makes me feel like crap when I am already trying to take care of myself. AND I was so sick that I lost like 5-10 lbs in the first two months, so as far as I am concerned I am only up 5 pounds from my normal weight.
Anyway, she just irritated me a little, kind of like that stupid twit at Macy's when I asked about maternity clothes and she said no but they have extra larges. I wanted to hit her.
In other news, we managed to get the kid's room cleaned out and the new floor laid last weekend. It turned out great. Now we need to decide colors and paint so that it is ready when the crib gets here.
Not much else happening. Leif is kicking strong, not so anyone else can feel it yet, but boy I can :) Mornings and evenings are his most active times, which I am told is pretty normal. I also notice that he quiets down for car rides and when I am on the go, which is normal as well.
Thank you for listening!

Doctors can't make up their mind about how much weight gain is appropriate when pregnant. But, they pretty much can't make up their mind about anything. What they say is OK today they may tell you in 5-10 years that it's the think that will kill you. It kind of makes it hard to know when to believe! I think you look beautiful and the little bit of weight gain you've had over the past months is perfect and you and Leif are both healthy!
