Just got home from today's prenatal appointment. As you might remember I had to switch doctors cause my other one got orders to Kuwait (he left last week). The new doc was very nice, took the time to talk to me etc. I have (finally) started to gain some weight. Still am a little over 4 pounds under my prepregnancy weight but since baby is measuring perfect on target and heartbeat was great too my new doc agreed with my old one and said there is nothing to worry about for now. My 'target' total weight gain for this pregnancy for now is 10 to 15 pounds. Also had the joy of drininking the lovely sweet orange stuff which wasn't nearly as bad as what I expected it to be. lol So I have to go back to the lab in 45min or so to get the blood drawn for that and the anemia test. My next appointment is in 2 to 4 weeks since I am right between the stages appointments every two vs every 4 weeks.
