We had our monthly checkup on Monday. All is well. I've gained 4lbs total so far :) I'm apparently right in the normal range and it's all going to my tummy. The baby's heartbeat was at 144 beats per minute which is really good. The doctor just reiterated what she had told me before...don't stay on my feet too long and make sure I drink TONS of water. I have noticed that I get lightheaded very easily and I've already gotten some swollen ankles and feet when I've been standing too much. I guess I forgot that my body is supporting 2 now. Daniel and I bought a home heart monitor so we listen to the baby's heartbeat every night together. It sounds like galloping horses. When my tummy and baby get bigger we will be able to record it and I'll upload it so everyone can listen.

I also got bit by ant this past Saturday...and low and behold the allergy shots must be working because I didn't have a reaction thankfully just a swollen toe. Darn pesky ants!
We have an ultrasound scheduled for August 1 with the perinatologist (high-risk pregnancy doc). They are going to thoroughly check the baby's heart to make sure everything is ok. We should also find out if we are having a boy or girl! I'm so excited and can't hardly wait.
