10 Week Checkup & the "Pregnant Freshman 15"

So I've been horrible at posting lately but promise to post lots of pictures taken of Andrew the past few weeks very soon...

But before too much time got away from me - I wanted to post that we had our 10 week checkup for Baby #2 today. Great checkup - the heartbeat was @ 130, Dr. wasn't concerned about my HORRIBLE college freshman style diet :) and we're set to have a sonogram on May 11th to check for birth defects.

I do have to share a funny story about my experience with one of Dr. Becker's interns. Sweet girl - but definitely new in the patient relationship field. She was a little nervous asking questions and muddled through the paperwork. She reviewed my last lab results, blood pressure and weight over the past few visits. When she got to the weight - she looked up "OH! You've put on weight!"...to which I wanted to remark "DUH - I'm pregnant" but withheld. So I asked her how much weight I had gained - fearing that my many horribly fattening indulgences had caused me to gain "The Pregnant Freshman 15"... Nope. Not 15. Just 3. To which I started to breathe a sigh of relief until she stopped me with, "Most women lose weight their first trimester." I once again pondered a retort but thought I'd let it pass.... lucky for her I'm not emotional right now!!! :)
