26 Week Doctors Appointment

We had a doctors appointment today and everything is going swimmingly. I've gained 11 pounds so far, and hopefully this last month (8 pounds!) will be the most weight gain of this pregnancy. My blood pressure is good and the baby's heart rate is at 148bpm (Jen says 150 means it's a girl, but we're having a girl, so who knows). I didn't get any of the other stats, but our doctor didn't say anything looked out of the ordinary, so I guess we're good. I go back in two weeks to do my glucose testing and get my rhogam shot, so we'll see how that goes. We like going to these appointments because we get to hear the heartbeat and that's always neat. Dusty thinks it sounds like the soundtrack of one of the Star Trek movies. So he's always sitting to the side laughing, while I'm up on the table trying not to laugh so the nurse can get to the heartbeat. Today he thought that is sounded like a dog barking, even the nurse was laughing. She (the baby) was also hiding behind my belly button, so it took a while to make contact with her. Then when the nurse finally found her she was moving so much that that was all we could hear. At least this proves that I'm not crazy thinking that this little girl loves to move around. Every time I stand or sit still, she starts having a party in my stomach. I guess she's preparing me for what the future holds (maybe she wants to be a soccer player?).
