Just a Check Up

I went to the doctors today to have my regular check up (I am at 25 weeks). I have been going every 4 weeks since we found out we were pregnant. However, once I get closer to my due date (around 33 weeks), I will go every week. The doctor said everything is normal. His heartbeat is at 148 and apparently he is facing down. I dont really understand how the doctor can tell just by feeling around ... but I guess that is why she is the expert :).

I have gained 4 pounds since my last appointment, so I am on track with gaining just about a pound a week. My total weight gain is 13 pounds (I have gained most of my weight in the second trimester - which my doctor said is normal as well).

I just noticed I have been typing the word "normal" a lot in this post but I LOVE normal during pregnancy! I have been so nervous about our little guy that I love hearing my doctor say we going at an average rate. Lets just hope that everything keeps progressing normally!
