I had another OB appointment today, and things went great! I will admit it was a little strange to be going in and not having an u/s and being able to see Jumper, but I guess that it just a sign that things are progressing well. Like I said, the appointment went well. I was able to hear Jumper's heartbeat, and it was hovering right around 160 bpm. There was also another sound that we could hear through the doppler, and my OB said that is the sound of the baby moving. She said that based on the heartbeat, movement, and my measurements, it looks like things are right on track and everything looks great! One thing that did surprise me, though, is that I have apparently lost a pound since my last appointment...which means I am probably down about 4-5 pounds or so since getting pg. She didn't seem concerned about it yet, especially since I am just starting to get my appetite back within the past few weeks. I definitely don't feel like I have lost weight...some days I feel like I am running out of normal clothes to wear!
After my appointment, I decided to make the pregnancy news public via fb and our family blog. It seems like I am pretty much the only one out of my immediate family and DH who has been holding the news back. So far, I am pleasantly surprised to report that I haven't received any "that's what happens when you adopt" comments yet. It feels good to be 'out of the closet' and freely sharing the news!

Glad to hear the appointment went well! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the apointment went well and that you feel comfortable coming out of the closet! :-) And a big 'Hooray' for none of the 'that's what happens when you adopt' comments!
ReplyDeleteThat is great news. I lost most of my weight during the first trimester and then gained it back over the second and third mesters.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you felt comfortable to tell people. I am also really glad you are not getting any adoption comments.
This is soooo GREAT!!!!!!! I can't wait, time is going by so fast. At least for me with your pregnancy it is. =)
I am sooooo sorry I haven't been commenting. I somehow lost you, and just found you on another blog. I was telling someone about you recently, and it drove me crazy that I couldn't find your page!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad things are going well :) The weight will come, trust me. HUGS
Congratulations on 15 weeks, another great appointment, and going totally public!! Awesome :-)
ReplyDeleteYay for sharing the news, good on you! Happy to hear Jumper is well :)
ReplyDeleteGlad the appointment went well! Glad you haven't received those that's what happens comments either. I hear all the time..."now that you've adopted, you'll get pregnant." Yes, it does happen, but not always. So glad you are pregnant though! :)
