25 weeks pregnant...

Yesterday was another visit to the doctor. Typical visit...measure the belly, step on the scales, listen for a heart beat. All that happened pretty quickly and I was out of there. Belly measured right on target, gained 5 pounds (in 2 weeks; total weight gain is 8 pounds now) and heart beat was strong.

My first visit was supposed to be at 8 weeks, but I wasn't as far along as we thought. So, I have been one week off the whole time. In an effort to get me back on a normal schedule, I go back to the doctor in 3 weeks instead of 2 (February 4). At that visit, 28 weeks, I will drink the delicious glucose stuff and they'll draw blood to check for gestational diabetes. They'll also do an ultrasound and I'll pre-register at the hospital. I still can't believe that we are getting this close to her arrival! Only 15 more weeks until due date.

As usual, I'll keep you posted.
