We went for our monthly doctor's appointment today. It went well, found out that I passed the gestational diabetes test but have very low iron. I have to start iron supplements and increase iron in my diet...meaning more red meat, more spinach, etc. I also found out that combining iron sources with dairy stops the absorption of iron. I have a glass of milk with dinner every night so that will have to change.
Baby's heartrate was 150 today...still in the "girl" range if you believe old wives' tales! I'm measuring right smack in the middle of normal and I've gained more than enough weight. To be honest, that's probably where I'm doing the best! I can't believe I'm posting this but I've gained 28 pounds so far...that's about 4 pounds more than "average" at this stage of the pregnancy. I'm chalking it up to the fact that I was pretty scrawny to begin with so I deserve a little extra!!

That must be one of your new shirts:) A girl hey? Well I still guess a boy but what do I know about heart rates and such. After all it is just a wives tale so I may be right. Maybe if I start buying blue...hmmm....either way you look fantastic! Love you and miss you guys. XOXO
My guess is boy too. Both my boys heartrates were in teh 145-150 range, so what do those old wives know, anyway? haha
You are a beautiful pregnant lady!
