18 Pounds and Counting

I had my 26 week appointment yesterday. Apparently I gained 5.5 pounds in a month, which is a bit on the hefty side, but I'm only at a total of 18 pounds so the doctor says I'm pretty much right on track. She looked at my belly and realized most of the weight is right where its suppose to be, so I'm not really that concerned. Tomorrow starts my two day carb diet, which may increase the pounds anyway. Everything else looked/sounded good. My belly is measuring 27 cm, so Baby T should be doing good in there. His heartbeat sounded good and my iron counts and blood pressure were awesome. So overall, a good check-up. Next week is the big week of the 3-hour glucose test and that's the next hurdle to cross. Wish me luck!

WOW - fantastic report from the doctor and you're doing good with your weight ... all in the tummy.
I pray your glucose test will show no diabetes !!! It's getting exciting .... that is .... until day of labor :-)
