Baby Update

On wednesday I had my monthly doctors appointment. The doctor told me that everything looks good. I'm measuring right on and my blood pressure is really good. Of course she saw my weight gain and said to watch the carbs from here on out. Ugh. It's so hard! With all the running that I was doing, I was used to eating whatever I want. I guess the extra weight I put on will just be harder to lose later, but I'm determined! (especially if that means I can still eat my ice cream hee hee).
I also had my doctor feel my belly to see if she could tell where the baby's head is. I just had a feeling that her head was still up. I was feeling kicks mostly at the bottom and on my right side. Well I guess it must be mother's intuition because I was right. Her little head is sitting right under my left rib. My doctor said that she thinks her back is along my left side and then her feet are on my right. Makes total sense now. She's not worried because I still have time for her to flip. I really hope so.
She has been soooo active this week. I've been feeling her more often throughout the day. The other day, Brandon put his head on my belly to see if he could hear her heartbeat and then she kicked him. :) It was great. She already has a favorite parent I guess (just kidding Brandon....you are going to spoil her rotten). As active as our little one is right now, I'm surprised she hasn't flipped yet. I'm starting to have my doctor appointments every two weeks now, so we will see where she's at in two weeks. I can't wait! I love hearing her heartbeat on the little doppler. :)
