Today was my monthly visit to the OB's office! I was quite worried that since I've been eating everything in sight, my weight gain would be astronomical. But I needn't have worried. I only gained 1 pound! Officially 7 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight. I can live with that, especially after the 5 pound gain last month.
Baby boy's heartbeat was 153 bpm. It was a different nurse than I usually have today, but she was really nice and told me it was a very strong heartbeat!
My stomach gained 4 inches again. Up to 25. Seems strange to gain that much in size, but only a pound in weight. Not that I'm complaining!!
Thankfully my blood pressure was back down around where it usually is.
I asked my doctor about my INSANE heartburn/acid reflux. Honestly, it has been so bad lately. Almost unbearable at times, and it wakes me up at night. Apparently she had told me back at the beginning I could take Pepcid AC...but I forgot. I've just been treating with Tums. So today I'm headed out for some Pepcid! She said I can even take it twice a day if necessary. She also told me it'll only get worse from here on out! Oh well, if that's my only complaint I think I'm doing pretty well. No swelling at all, which I'm grateful for!
Okay, time for lunch out with John. We actually have a few hours to ourselves today!

Sounds like everything is going great...aside from the reflux. Get that Pepcid! :)
Yay! Glad everything is going well! And I'm so jealous you've only gained 7lbs...we'll just say I've gained significantly more than that, mostly in the first 20 weeks!
If I had been able to eat anything in the first 20 weeks I'm sure I'd be waaaay higher at this point!
