21 week appointment update

Hi guys, so I hope you all have seen the post previous to this one that I made, about the new tab above "Pregnancy Photos" Those I am updating every wednesday! I am only making new full posts like this when I have something to update on (appointments, etc)

I know you all may not know what the schedule is for OB appointments so the breakdown for me:
Sept 16th (today) 21 week appointment
Oct 14th - 25 week appointment
those are the only appointments I have so far but after that I will have one at
28 weeks - Glucose test
30 weeks
32 weeks
34 weeks
36 weeks
37 weeks
38 weeks
39 weeks - Ultrasound
40 weeks
(or until baby is born) My OB will not let me go past my due date, so IF I get close, I will have an induction date scheduled.

Also, I get a lot of questions about our shower/registry. We are having a co-ed baby shower on November 1st - invitations will go out soonish hopefully. And we have registered at both Babies R Us as well as Target! If you go on their websites there is a link for registries and if you type in my name it should pop up!


Now on to today's appointment. Today was just a general check-up. They listened to the baby's heartbeat, which was between 130-140 bpm. He measured my stomach (still not really showing though) I'm not sure of that measurement, I didn't ask. They checked my blood pressure, which has always been great, today was 100/60.

I am also now feeling baby move for the past few days. Which is equal parts awesome and crazy.

I have been battling a cold for the past few days (I think today is day 3 or 4 of it, and it's finally slowing down) Mainly I'm just extremely congested, which makes breathing difficult, (and my head hurt) and then I breathe through my mouth which makes my throat hurt... ahh. It's just a cycle. But being sick I have pretty much taken a liking to one seat and cocooned myself. Which means I've gained a little weight. I'm still at or below my pre-pregnancy weight though, and my OB is completely fine with the few pounds, as long as I keep maintaining. Once I feel better, it will be easier to breathe and workout again, so that number should go back down.
