Everyone is losing their damn minds over rotten legs , let us not forget the last event when we were finding human heads everywhere . <| sep |> Huh . I guess so . I never realized that the numbers were supposed to represent his teethmouth . I always figured that little peg in the middle of his face was a beak . <| sep |> 166 I had a good family doctor appointment yesterday , luckily , despite her rush in getting me in . We didn ' t talk too much about the prenatal testing once she found out the MFM had already talked to me , but she wanted to make sure I knew what was going on and see if the MFM had suggested any changes in plans at this point , nojust continued monitoring . She did say she had a patient last month with the same elevated protein who is doing just fine . But with my history , we obviously need to keep a close eye on things to make sure that my placenta is going to do its job this time around . Scary stuff . The heartbeat was nice and strong , though she had to keep moving the doppler at first because she would pick it up and baby would move away . She measured my fundal height for the first time . she said You must have had this done last time but no , I never had , despite my last prenatal for Isaac being at 19 weeks . I don ' t think it would have made a difference , thoughif I was measuring small they probably would have still said We ' ll see at the anatomy scan ! just like they did when I expressed concern that I hadn ' t gained weight . Anyway , fundal height is right on track at 18 cm ! And I ' ve gained weight ! ! Never thought I ' d be so happy to say that , but I saw numbers on the scale I ' ve never seen before and am now somewhere between 35 lbs over my prepregnancy weight , which feels like a big achievement considering I lost 57 lbs in the first tri . In other words , while I am still obviously very worried about what ' s to come in the next few weeks , yesterday ' s appointment was something to celebrate . My mantra from day 1 has been Choose Joy and it ' s nice when things happen that are easy to be joyful about . Thank you for your kind words yesterday !
