Had Another Doctors Appointment!
jen wrote: I went to the doctor yesterday afternoon. Everything was great. I am averaging about a 1.5 lbs a week now in weight gain. That is ok with me I guess! I am able to eat really healthy now that I don't have too many cravings for anything that tastes LOL  One of my main meals is plain oatmeal, no flavor. My friend said it tastes like warm Oats and air! haha! My baby is moving a whole lot now really turning and struggling to change positions, she is running out of room to roam!  I think she gets mad and then just beats my ribs!   My blood pressure has been the same 120/60 since my very first visit!
We talked about going over some exercises to do if she is still breech at my next visit but I am not worried, she has plenty of time to turn when she is ready! Besides I trust my doctor, he is so old, he probably could deliver her with hot water by candlelight from experience if he had to!!!
kimberley replied: LOL @ dr delivering with hot water and candle light.
i am glad to hear everything is going so well. not long now!! i was the same way with my pg with James. i only wanted bland food. i hope she turns for you soon and enjoy the end of your first pg!

MomToMany replied:  I'm glad everything is going well for you! I'm sure baby will turn in time  !
coasterqueen replied: YAY Jen! Glad it went well! I'm getting so excited for all of you! I can't wait to see pics of your little one in your arms
DansMom replied: Sounds like a great appointment. I'm getting so excited for all the babies about to be born... it won't be long!
Maddie&EthansMom replied: OMG! Some days if it weren't for you I would never smile! You crack me up! 
I'm glad your appt went well. I didn't do too good on the weight gain this time, but I normally have morning appts and I pigged out at the Olive Garden before this last appt! 
Maddy definetly has time to turn. I think it is so great that our doctors are watching the baby's positions. I had never heard of that before, but I think it is a good sign that they are good doctors. If you are interested in avoiding a c-section (which I am).
jen replied:
Glad I could make you smile!!  Do you dread getting on the scale like I do??? I feel like I have absolutely NO CONTROL over what I gain! I never know what I have gained until I get there because I banned our scale from the house! I have been hovering around 30 lbs total gain! He talked about me gaining 40 lbs b/c of my BMI and I was underweight before but I think i will sky rocket over that! I have no idea! Plus he hasn't said anything about weight at all except that everything looks great and the baby is strong and healthy so that makes me smile! I feel her move and don't care what I have to do to get her into this world healthy and happy especially when she finds my ribs!!!

LOLOL!!! Your are too funny!!!
it sounds like everything is great!!! ~~~~~~TURN MADDIE~~~~ vibes!!! I bet she will turn on her own to especially as active as she is!!
Beccas_mom replied: Sounds like a great appointment! Only a little while left! Your Blood pressure is pretty good, at least compared to mine when I was pregnant!
MilMunchMOM replied: Glad to hear all is going so well!! How much longer do you have?
jen replied:
Less than 7 weeks!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Maddie&EthansMom replied:
I do dread the scale!! I think I gained less this time than I did with Mad, but I was also under weight before her. My weight was fine this time as well and I seem to be gaining no more than I should. My doc never says anything about my weight either. I think as long as I'm not ballooning out he isn't concerned. Oh, but I am sooooo ready for this to be over!!! Is that terrible of me??  I'm starting to have water retention and I'm really not glowing and pretty like I was a month ago (atleast I thought I was pretty!) LOL!! Everyone tells me how good I look and how skinny I am!! ROFL!! I feel like a beached whale and I know I am not skinny!! Just a little over a week to go and I will have bigger concerns like "to poop or not to poop!" It's so wonderful!
MilMunchMOM replied: Have you turned your house upside down organizing cleaning and setting up yet?? (Nesting) I remember going from so tired from not getting compfy enough to sleep well to running around like crazy to get things in order. LOL my dh thought i was insane!!!
jen replied: " Just a little over a week to go and I will have bigger concerns like "to poop or not to poop!" It's so wonderful! "
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! You crack me up!!! That is so funny!!! It won't be long and you will be feeling tiny again!! I can't wait for that feeling!!! I have gotten to the point now that when I do my makeup in the morning ANYTHING that gets dropped onto the floor doesn't get put on that day and the DH comes around and picks it up before I get ready the next day!!! LOL!! I am growing every day!!! Fortunately right now my belly is just ballooning out and everything else seems to be shrinking!!
I can't wait to see pics of Ethan!!! You are so lucky!!!
jen replied:
YES!! I have always been a clean freak but my DH knew that when I was buying a special brush to clean the baseboards he was in FOR IT!! ha ha! Then I have been organizing all the babies clothes and I have a system with sleeves, no sleeves, buttons up, sleepers the list goes on and on and on!!! ha ha! Nesting is so tiresome!!! I even went around spot painting the walls the other day. We moved into our brand new house in August! I am sure painting didn't need to be done just yet!! ha ha!
jdkjd replied: I'm going to have to see how I can get that nesting to rub off on me. I just sit down as much as Bailey will let me...
Congrats on the good appt.!
jen replied:
Thanks!!! I probably wouldn't be nesting so much If I had other things to grab my attention like Bailey!!! LOL!
