Updates and more good news

On Monday I had my 20 week ultrasound. The technician took about 133 pictures with multiple images of the cranium, the vertebrae, the heart, the blood flow and other measurements.  This test is by far the most comprehensive ultrasound because specific measurements were taken to assess for proper development of the heart, the spine and the brain (primarily).  Results were good, according to my doctor. All is normal!

So together with our amniocentesis results, we are feeling pretty good overall.

On that same day, I had my 4 month check up.  I have gained 5 lbs since last month....just a little more than I had wanted.  (The doctor says 0.5 lb per week, so 2.5 per month or up to 1 lb per week (4 lbs per month).  So I'm a little worried that I'm over my weight allocation. I just started doing water aerobics 2x  a week, and yoga once a week so maybe  I can keep my weight in check - without going crazy. Obviously the weight gain is inevitable!
