Doctor's appointment

We went to see my OB this afternoon, and all is well. She took my blood pressure and said it was normal (woo!), which means that the swelling I've been having off and on isn't a big deal. She just said to keep my feet up and drink a lot of water. She was surprised by how big my belly has gotten since the last time she saw me - it really has grown. I feel fine when I'm standing up, but as soon as I lay down, I feel like I'm being pinned down by the weight of my belly. I'm still rocking heels though ;)

She wants me to go for a gestational diabetes test, which I know is standard but still makes me nervous. I hope I don't have that - because man am I ever enjoying sugar. I'm a fruit-aholic these days (I'd be quite content with having a fruit salad for lunch and nothing else). I hope everything's fine, but I still worry. I have to go for that in 2 weeks so she has the results for our next appointment, 2 weeks later.

We listened to the baby's heartbeat - 144, which is normal. And she felt my belly to find the top of my uterus - it's up so high now! Last time it was around my belly button, and now it's halfway between my belly button and my rib cage! But she said there's lots of room for the baby to grow still, which makes sense since I still only feel the kicks and punches bellow the belly button.

And that's really about it. A quick appointment, but reassuring to know that everything's good.
