My doctor's appointment went well this morning, except for my concern over the weight gain thing. I really don't feel like I've gained 14 pounds in three weeks, nor do I think I look like I have...but I can't say that my clothes weighed THAT much when I stepped on the scale. (Freudian slip: I first typed "scare" instead of "scale") The doctor said that I shouldn't be concerned because this past month was one in which the baby gained a significant amount of weight herself.
Well, she should watch that or she'll have weight issues her whole life. ;)
At any rate, her heartbeat sounded wonderful and strong as always. It's harder to pee in those little cups at this point--I can't see where I'm aiming! Can't they give pregnant women buckets that are easier to hit?
My next two appointments will be every two weeks, then I'll begin weekly visits. It's all going so quickly...I've felt overwhelmed since my appointment and have consequently come home and stared into space while sitting on the couch.
My doctor today was my favorite so far--a good sign, since I think I wrote that last time too. She was wonderful and very reassuring...especially about the weight thing.

I gained 50 pounds in pregnancy on an already, um, robust, frame. The pregnancy weight came off pretty easy! The other 35 pounds is stubborn.
It's interesting to come into a blog in the middle, I have no idea what's going on :)
I assure you, you don't look like you are gaining too much weight at all! Oh,and I LOVED the peeing in a bucket thing. You should try to patent that idea. Many pregnant women would appreciate it!
