Our January Appointment

Hey everyone!
We had another appointment today! I am exactly 23 weeks! Everything went GREAT! I looked at the scale and I think I gained like 6 or so pounds since the last time. I can't remember what I started at but I think I am up like 14 pounds! I think it is mostly in my belly so far...I hope :-) We listened to the heartbeat and it was 140 today. The nurse said the baby was doing summersaults because she could hear him moving around! You could hear bumps in between the sound of the heartbeat and she said that it was the baby moving! I couldn't feel it but he was rockin out! I told the doctor that I think I was feeling the baby from time to time but wasn't sure. He said not to worry! He said he was doing just fine in there. He then layed me back down on my back and started pushing (kinda hard, I was surprised!) on my belly! He proceeded to tell me that you could get the baby moving sometimes! He said when he was pushing on my belly that he felt the baby move 2 times! I couldn't feel a thing but the doctor felt our little guy through my belly so he is doing just fine! I was measured today and I didn't realize that they measure up and down on your belly. I thought they would measure from side to side. But I measured 25 inches and he said that was perfect. Just a tiny bit above actually. They also did the normal checks, blood pressure and etc...everything was great! I was sort of worried about my circulation in my legs because my left foot always feels like I need to shake it awake, but of course my doctor said to quit worrying and that it was completely normal :-) I also mentioned that I was having a hard time sleeping on my side and he said to go ahead and sleep anyway that makes me comfortable! That was good news because I was sore all day today from trying to stay on my side all night! Yippie I can sleep on my back and not squish the baby! I'm still going to shoot for the side but if I need to go on my back for a little while, I'll be ok. Well our next appointment is Feb. 13th. I had to make this one in the morning because I have to fast the night before and drink this fun looking drink. It is to check blood sugar and stuff. He said it is something they do for everyone :-) So, it was a great appointment! I really really like this doctor. Our next appointment though we are going back to our original doctor, who is also great. She is back from maternity leave. Well, until next time! Talk to you all later!!!
