- My weight gain is right on track, literally smack on the dotted line they use to represent "normal" progress. Which is to say, I am three pounds heavier than the last visit.
- The baby's heartbeat is 140, nice and strong.
- My fundal height (the size of my uterus as measured on my belly) is perfectly normal. In another couple of weeks, it should be even with my belly button, and then it will grow 1 centimeter in height each week! Amazing expanding belly!
We have our "big" ultrasound scheduled for June 24th in the afternoon at a local radiology shop. I am already dreading drinking 32 ounces of water 1 hour beforehand... makes me sweat just thinking that my bladder will have to hold up to such pressure!

I hope your "radiology shop" isn't notoriously behind. I drank what seemed like gallons of water, had to wait an extra half hour or so and was apparently "too full" for them to see the baby well, so they just made me go pee anyways. Thirty minutes of superhydrated discomfort for nothing...
Ah, the joys of pregnancy. See in the old days before ultrasound, we didn't have to drink gallons and be forced to wait. With all this new fangled technology, there is still the old fashioned method of "preparing" for an exam. Makes me laugh. You would think there would be a space age way of filling up all those spaces needed to see what was important. Course nothing like a full bladder to irritate a uterus and the contents?
Good job with the weight thing! I cooked dirty rice like yours last night. Joe actually thought it was okay. Had it for leftovers tonight. A first.....leftovers I mean. Love ya
glad to see things are going well for you! sending good vibes from Peru...
