26 weeks check up

Today was our monthly check up. Baby girl is 26 weeks and 2 days along and doing great. My blood pressure was the same as always - 112/60. I haven't gained any weight since my last check-up 4 weeks ago, but I gained so much during my first trimester that the Dr. isn't worried at all about the weight taper. In the past 2 months, I've only gained 2.5 lbs total, but I think I gained something like 11 lbs during the first trimester - who knows what my body is doing. Regardless, everything is good!

Baby girl's heartbeat is rockin' along. She is growing fabulously, the Dr. said. My next appointment will be when my mom is in town - yay!

The below picture was taken earlier today - I wore the same sweater as I did at 20 weeks so you can see the growth a little easier (yes, even us soft scientists make slight efforts to control variables).
