It took all of 10min. lol Everything is right on track and so far my EDD hasn't changed once. LMP, 1st u/s and then the big u/s all came to the same result. And fundal height today was exactly where it should be for how far along I am. When the doc listened to the heartbeat it was at about 150 bpm. Weight wise I have gained a whooping 1 1/2 pounds since my last appointment 5 weeks ago. Doc said that he'd like to see a weight gain of about 2-3 pounds over the next month and a total gain of 15-20pounds during the pregnancy. But he also said that if that doesn't happen he wouldn't be too worried as long as everything else is the way it should be. We'll just have to make sure in that case that the baby is getting all the nutrition she needs.

I did get some bad news though. Not as much for me as for my doc but he got orders to Kuwait and will be leaving in August. Right now they are working on figuring out who will take his patients. I hate having to switch doctors because the one I have now is great. Hopefully whoever I get instead will be just as good as he is.
