I went to the doctor today for my six month check up. Baby girl and I are doing well. I drank the glucose drink today and had my blood drawn to check for gestational diabetes. I didn't have it with either of the boys, but I am fully prepared that it could be different this time around. I should know in a few days if I passed/failed the test. In this case, no news is good news. Dr O. measured me and she's measuring right on track and her heartbeat sounded great, very strong.
Size of HLM:
She's the size of a cantaloupe
Total Weight Gain:
5 lbs
Maternity Clothes:
To work - a combination of some non-maternity shirts and maternity shirts. Always maternity pants.
On the weekend - a combination of some non-maternity shirts and maternity shirts and non-maternity pants with stretchy waistbands.
Gender:
GIRL
Movement:
She moves all the time, but I have started to notice a pattern to what time of day she is most active. I think I'm going to start documenting it so I can compare it to when she's awake after she's born. Now others can feel and see her move when watching my stomach.
What I Miss:
Nothing
Cravings:
Fruit popsicles and ice cream
Symptoms:
After sitting for long periods of time at work, I've noticed some pain in my left hip. Minor swelling in my feet in the evenings. My appetite is getting better.
Best Moment of the Week:
Seeing her move instead of just feeling it. Getting the dates and times nailed down for the baby showers that our family and friends are hosting.
What I'm Looking Forward To:
Her baby showers and seeing our friends and family, the 3D/4D ultrasound and family pictures
