20 Weeks

Just had my latest Dr. appointment. I have gained 14 pounds so far. Dad said he thought my stomach was growing every few hours. ;-) Good to know Bradley is a healthy, growing boy.

Bradley's heart rate was 156--about the same as last time. My blood pressure was slightly elevated at the beginning of my appointment--but I had just said goodbye to my family about 10 minutes earlier, and I am always a little stressed during goodbyes. So we checked it again after a couple of minutes, and it had gone back down to normal.

I feel great and haven't had any problems, so we didn't have any questions. But my Dr. likes to spend a good amount of time with us, so we chatted about what we had named our boy and why, what kind of childbirth class we're taking, if we picked out a pediatrician, etc. Then I scheduled the rest of my appointments through May (!!), and we were done.

More about the Christmas festivities later on!
