I had a doctors appointment this morning – everything is good! We got to hear the baby’s heartbeat, holding steady in the high 150s to low 160s, and did a mini overall checkup of me, listening to heart, lungs, etc. The kids were with me and behaved pretty good considering they only had one chair to share. Everything is going good with me and the baby – other then me gaining three pounds in a month. I’m really not happy with that and plan on upping my water intake and exercising more. I think the kids and I will go to the Y every day and then the library, that will give us something to do before starting the scheduled school year. Chris started his new shift at work today, putting him at being gone for 14 hours a day. We definitely need to find more to occupy our time!

I really didn’t want to gain a lot of weight with this baby but I’m only seven pounds away from getting back to where I was when I joined LA Weight Loss! I’m sure I need to eat more food, part of what surprised me about LA was the eating a lot more then what I was used to, and even less junk then what I’m having. I try hard not to eat junk and it’s probably time to go back to just not buying any. We don’t have a lot in the house, but even that little bit is temping.

I don’t have another baby appointment until the very end of August now, that will be the ultrasound to check on the baby’s anatomy and then a quick check in with the doctor. I’m hoping Chris will be able to get the day off – the ultrasound tech here doesn’t mind having family in the room with you and he hasn’t been able to see any of our other ultrasounds in person.
