First Doctors Visit

Thursday was our first visit to the doctor with this pregnancy. To my pleasant suprise it was the same OB who we had had before, I really like her. So much in fact that we made our next appointment for there even though we will probably be living in Fargo.
We heard the heartbeat which was strong. I wish I was a celebrity, they all seem to get ultrasounds with the first doctors visit but I will have to wait for that until 18-22 weeks.
This morning I woke up and I was laying on my stomach and I felt it sticking out and hard for the first time. I will miss laying on my stomach when I get too large.

My obsession continues with what my weight gain will be. The doctor told me that I should try to stay at 25 pound weight gain and since I have already gained 8 pounds I am looking iffy for that. I don't think thats fair because I haven't even been eating anything and probably 7.5 pounds of that weight gain is my chest! She said I should continue working out like I did before to maintain my weight. HA! We all know how much I worked out before. Anyways, after she warned me about my weight I kept seeing pictures of really bloated pregnant women everywhere, I mean puffy everywhere! I fear I am headed for that, however I think if I gain more than 25 pounds I won't feel that bad. After all, last time I saw that same doctor she said my normal weight was 5 pounds underweight. So according to that I have only gained 3 pounds. Look, I just talked myself into ignoring her advice!
