Our Anniversary!

Well, yesterday was our second Wedding Anniversary! It is hard to believe that two years have gone by already! A lot has changed, but of course, all for the better! Next year we will be celebrating our anniversary, and almost have a 1 year old - now THAT is crazy!

We had went out the weekend prior and bought a new computer (laptop)- so that was our "gift" to each other... but we still took time to go to dinner and a movie. We had a nice, relaxing night (which doesn't come often around here lately).

So, everything went pretty well at my doctors appointment. The baby is growing well, and the heartbeat was 132 - a little lower than it usually is, but it is certainly still in the healthy range... no reason for concern at all. I DID gain almost 5 pounds in two weeks (oopsie!). I had to admit to the doctor that I have been lately going "off course" - I was so conscience of what I was eating before, and I sort of lost that lately... since this is the only time that my weight has jumped at any appointment, she let me off with it! LOL.. but we are aiming for 2 pounds or under for next appointment - I don't want to be losing too much after the baby is born. That brings my total weight gain to almost 30 pounds!!! Which is a lot, in my opinion... My doctor said ideally I would be between 25-35... so yeah, 5 more pounds doesn't give me much room to move! LOL.. it's probably going to be over that... but as long as baby is healthy... and like I said, I will be doing what I can from now on to keep the weight gain down.

I go for one more two week appointment - Sept 2nd - they check for Group B Strep. (A test everyone has). If I test positive for that, it just means that i need antibiotics after my water breaks... If I test negative - then no antibiotics! It was so sad making my two week appointment, because I have WORK on that day.... so I had to make it for the evening... :( Summer Vacation is almost over.

Anyway, after Sept 2nd, I start going weekly! I can't believe it's so close.. so that means 5-6 more doctors appointments and Baby O'Brien will be HERE!!

I have a new belly picture - I wil update on the side.
