We had our monthly check up today and everything seems right on track. Heart rate was 147, and uterus was up to my belly button. :)
So other than trying to get an ultrasound today, I had 3 questions;
1) Gaining weight- I probably gained 10 lbs over the past 16 weeks- suppose to only be 6. SOOOoo I figured if I am at this rate now, sheww watch out Dairy Queen! But she said as long as I am eating healthy- it is ok.
2) Can I eat hot dogs?- "as a general rule of thumb, we tell patients no processed meat" DANG IT- ahhh I want a hot dog soo bad. How un-american is it to go all summer with out a hot dog??!!!!
3) Could I ride a bike DOWN the creeper trail?- "if it is an activity you were previously doing, you may continue to do so. But we don't promote new activities"
So ladies and gentlemen- the moral of this story is bribe the doctor prior to them getting in the room with your spouse, where they will tell you I told you so :)
Our next appointment will be 11am on Tues Sept 15th- this is our 'anatomy' appointment. So if all goes well should find out who will be joining the Rainey Adventures!

I'll admit it... today I had my first turkey sandwich. I figured, I'm almost 37 weeks, what harm can really happen now? I hope you can wait that long or postpartum for your hot dog. Godspeed!
ReplyDeletewow. i'm a little bummed to hear that. i was aware of no caffeinated drinks (coffee and such) and the others-alcohol, smoking. things i don't have to worry about. but hotdogs?? :( what CAN you eat? does the meat have to be from the deli?
ReplyDeleteoh no - no hot dogs at the red sox game?! no worries, we will buy you insane amounts of popcorn, pretzels and cotton candy. :) can't wait until the 15th!
