Another appointment has come and gone, and we are still doing well. My latest pains are heartburn and indigestion, which someone at work told me is the baby starting to grow hair. Is that an old wives tale? Dr. Mark said it was safe for me to take Pepcid AC, which I'm still holding off on because I'm a little paranoid about taking medicine unless I absolutely have to. But at least I have the okay if I really, really need it.
At the appointment my blood pressure was 118/76 and I've gained about 17 pounds so far, baby's heartbeat was good- 140 this time, the nurse was laughing because she could hear baby moving around like crazy when she was trying to listen for it. Dr. Mark took some measurements and said everything is great, and right on track. He estimates the baby weighs close to 2 pounds by now and my belly has grown 4 cm since last month. This weekend Matt gets the joy of taking me shopping for maternity clothes! I'll try and not make it too painful for him!
But we are both enjoying every day, Matt has been reading to baby at night, and we've been feeling lots of kicking too. It was funny the first time we could see my stomach actually moving up and down because of the kicks/punches/head butts- whatever they were.
Well, that's the update for now, miss you and love you all!

I felt the same way about taking medicine, I didn't want to take anything unless I was on my death bed. When I had Vertigo they gave me some meds and I wouldn't even take that. The paranoid mother syndrome only gets worse, just wait until the little one is born!!
