I have a dr. appointment today. I am 16 weeks, so it will just be listening to the heartbeat and measuring. But, I am really hoping he will schedule my
ultrasound. I am so excited to get this thing moving along! Every appointment seems like I am one step closer. I will let you all know how it goes.

My appointment went well. I have gained 1 pound so far, and I am pretty pleased with that! My blood pressure was low..114/58. The baby's heartbeat was 144.
I have my ultrasound scheduled for Sept. 23. Yay!!!

Yay! I'm so glad all went well with your appointment. Was the doctor concerned about your pressure being low?
Yay for the ultrasound! Bet you can't wait!

I can't wait! I am so excited! He didn't say anything about my blood pressure. The nurse asked me about it, but he didn't mention it. He did say
that my uterus is unusually high for how far along I am and that it is rare for someone to start feeling movement at 15 weeks like I did.

Oh Meredith hun that blood pressure I would be thankful for mine is regularly 90/70 and now that I am preggers it has been riding right at 80/60. The doc said
it was perfect, but my dh who has high blood pressure was very concerned. I have a lot of problems when standing I just have to go slow! I as well have been
feeling unusually early movement! I actually saw the baby move one morning!

Wow! That is low! I guess I was just shocked because mine is usually 120/80. It will vary by one or two points, but not too much. But, I guess it's better
than being too high!

No problem hun! That is why I wanted to relate that info to you. It is one thing to hear it from the doc that it is ok but a totally different story to hear it
from others who are going through the same thing. I had a doc appt yesterday and we brought to his attention a lump that I have had for about three years under
my armpit, but since I have been preggers it has doubled in size! The doc said its probably an additional mammatory gland, but after I have the baby I need to
get it removed. Kinda freaked out a little, but there is nothing that we can do til the baby is born. So I gotta cool my jets! I am going to schedule an appt
with my regular doc just so she can see it and make a note of it. Other than that everything is going good and I finally gained two lbs of my weight back so
the doc was happy with me. All good in the neighborhood here! When is your next appt Meredith?

My next appt is on the 6th. I had to go in today and have my blood drawn for the second trimester tests. I guess I will find out the results on the 6th. I
can't wait to find out what your having. It is so exciting! Is there a gender in specific that you are hoping for?
