21 week check-up

I don't know how a doctor can see me for two minutes and know that I'm on track, or doing fine...but I am!

So far I've gained 8 lbs. (but it feels and looks like a lot more!) which is "perfect." My ankles feel "good." Little Mr. May's heartbeat is between 140 and 150 which is "wonderful." I can feel him moving around in there, that's "great." And they tape measured my belly from my pelvic bone to my chest? And she said a number that was "good."

And that's all!!! In 4 more weeks I can come back and do it again! Actually, that day I won't see a doctor, I'll just give some blood. And then in 6 weeks, I have to drink some liquid stuff so they can take more blood and test it for glucose levels, to know if I have jestational diabetes.

And FYI, (obviously) the exciting blogs are going to be the ones in between the doctor check-ups!

Awwwww.....it's good to hear that everything is great. 21 weeks, you are better than 1/2 way there!
Little guy is getting cuter by the day!

And.....Michele R, where did you come up with those names? Have you been talking to Aunt Maura??

Those name choices are NOT from me! Michele is working on her own with that one. I much prefer Jack. I think that's the perfect name and the initials are the same as Jaron's.

Glad to hear that everything is "good". That's just "great"! You're right where you should be and that's always "wonderful". I knew you'd be "perfect".

Call me in 4 weeks and I'll say this all over again!

Hey Sara and the May family,
I am glad to hear you're "perfect", "wonderful", and "good". I always knew that!!
I agree with Aunt Maura, Jack is the PERFECT name. Of course, Paul is too... (that way you'd be kinda like naming it after, ME!!)
How silly is it that they measure your belly, right... like that can really tell them something (other than you're eating a lot or not!) I will be very excited to see the little tyke, you will be bringing him down to see Mickey at some point, right?
