Check up!

So today I went back for another check up at the Dr. I was anxious to get on the scale since it seems that I have only gained about 4lbs during this entire pregnancy...well today the scale read that I have gained a total of 5lbs...OK...somewhere someone's scale was off at some point...really...how is it possible to be almost 23 weeks and only have gained 5lbs. I did weigh in at the gym today too and it was reading the same as the dr's scale was so who knows. We have come to the conclusion that maybe the scale that was used at my previous Dr was a little off...right before I got pregnant, after my surgery. I am sure the pounds will start to pack on soon.
As for everything else the Dr said that Baby Girl looks great and all her ultrasound pics from Feb 10th look wonderful. She is growing right on schedule and is just where she should be at this point. My blood pressure was great and her heartbeat was again at 150. It didn't take any time today to find the heartbeat. Seems that everything is right on schedule and I am very thankful for that.
She is still very active and the Dr said that was good as well. This morning about 345am was the first time I was able to tell she actually had hiccups and not just moving around. It woke me up and kept me awake for a while. Such a weird feeling!
I am hoping that this weekend we will be able to purchase Doi-Doi's ticket for this summer...Mom is planning on spending a month with us to help us adjust to being new parents. I am so thankful that this happened in time for her to be off from school!! I know that spending a month in Kansas is not something most people would want to do but I think that since it involves her first grandchild she wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
As for Daddy, he is doing well, busy over there but should be heading home soon! We can't wait for him to get back so he can enjoy the rest of this pregnancy with us...as well as getting the basement completed so that we can start getting the nursery set up. We will post pics as we do all of these things. Hope everyone is well! We love you and miss you all!
