July 6th

I must say I was pleasantly surprised this morning. My weight is what it was 15 weeks ago.... (guess I better hit the pavement hard in this heat to be sure that I don't over gain- better wait till evening time, hoping to get in three hours of walking a week - at least 1 hour every other day)


Blood pressure was 124/70 Yeah pretty on target for me & pregnancy. My iron count was the best it has ever been .... 13.8 YEAH!!!!!!!!!! (where is all my energy though)? I found out why. With Abigail since it was winter... I didn't get a lot of Vit. C (I guess) But I hate store bought tomatoes (very high in vit. C which helps the body absorb the iron) I have 16 tomato plants and so far I haven't put any in the freezer or canned any either.... So I eat them straight from the garden, on sandwiches, or in a salad. Lucky me and good for the baby.


I go in for my Quad Screening on July 30th, and my next appointment with the Dr. is on Aug. 3rd. Was really hoping to possible get my gender ultrasound at that point, but the current ultrasound is saying that I am only 13 weeks and 4 days. Due date (mine is 12/27 or the Dr will induce on 12/30 or 12/31. So according to the current readings as far as gestational age I won't get my ultrasound for gender determination until the end of Aug. first of Sept.
