Dr. Visit

So I went to the doctor today for my monthly appointment. I was excited that there might be a chance we would get another ultrasound, well we didn't :( We did hear Sam's heartbeat and it was 138. I also stepped on the scales, and well it wasn't the one pound gain like last month. I am right on track for weight gain, but man, I don't think I have ever gained that much weight that quickly. I guess I need to start watching what I eat and make healthier decisions b/c let me tell you, if I keep up the pace, I will be as big as a house real soon. I also found out that I am low in iron. They gave me supplements to take daily, and I hope it won't cause any adverse stomach side effects. We shall see. Doc said we will check iron levels again in a month. My the tape measure test (pelvic bone to top of uterus) is supposed to be one cm per week and mine measured a little over 21 cms and I will be 21 weeks on Saturday so we are moving right along. I hope the iron pills will help with some my tiredness that I all the sudden started experiencing again and I hope sooner rather than later because tomorrow is Paul's birthday! We don't have a lot planned for this weekend, so hopefully we can relax and enjoy some quality time with one another. Anyway that's all I have for right now...off to research foods high in iron.

OH I ALMOST FORGOT, PAUL FELT SAM KICK LAST NIGHT. I COULD TELL HE WAS REALLY EXCITED. I HOPE THERE ARE LOTS MORE OF THOSE MEMORIES.

Much love,
Samantha
