January Doctor Appointments

I had 2 appointments this week, the first being with the RA doc on wednesday, and today with my OB. My RA doctor did an exam on me and asked if I had looked at the papers he gave me, meaning the information on the shots, and I told him yes. I had looked at them, and decided that I didn't want to do any of that since there is no evidence that suggests that is is harmful or not to the baby. I stated I wanted to nurse for awhile after the baby was born, and I would see how my condition did before discontinuing and starting shots. I go back to him in a couple months.

The OB appt. was un-eventful also, which is a good thing!! She measured me, and I seem to be measuring fine, then we listened to the heartbeat. That never gets old!! I love to hear and see signs of life in there...it is still unreal sometimes!! My weight gain is a little on the low side, but she said just to eat healthy, and she didn't seem concerned at this point. As long as everything is ok, I am fine with low weight gain! I go back February 5th, at which point she will check me for diabetes, so I got sent home with instructions and a drink that I have to consume an hour before my appt. Looks fun!

Baby is moving more and more, and Jesse can feel her of an evening when I am laying down and quiet. Last night I felt her body for the first time as she was trying to push through my side!! That hurt, but when I pushed back she moved and that seemed to be the end of it.
